Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on the metabolism of typical Entamoeba histolytica
originally isolated from human infections. It presents evidence that E. histolytica, grown …

The pervasiveness of viral infectious agents, capable of parasitizing living organisms all
along the evolutionary spectrum, has obligated hosts to evolve defense mechanisms that …

The activities of the N-(nitrothiazolyl) salicylamide nitazoxanide and its metabolite tizoxanide
were compared with metronidazole in vitro in microplates against six axenic isolates of …

Hydrogenosomes and mitosomes are mitochondrion-related organelles in anaerobic/
microaerophilic eukaryotes with highly reduced and divergent functions. The full diversity of …

Metagenomic techniques have enabled genome sequencing of unknown viruses without
isolation in cell culture, but information on the virus host is often lacking, preventing viral …

Nucleic acid samples purified from trophozoites of Giardia lamblia Portland I strain contain
an ethidium-stainable band that comigrates with 7.0 kilobase DNA in agarose gel …

Vesicular trafficking plays an important role in a virulence mechanism of the enteric
protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica as secreted and lysosomal cysteine protease (CP) …

We have characterized the iron-sulfur (Fe-S) cluster formation in an anaerobic
amitochondrial protozoan parasite, Entamoeba histolytica, in which Fe-S proteins play an …

To better understand the metabolism of sulfur-containing amino acids, which likely plays a
key role in a variety of cell functions, in Entamoeba histolytica, we searched the genome …

Eighty‐seven isolates of amebae assigned to the genus Entamoeba have been studied by
riboprinting (restriction enzyme polymorphism analysis of polymerase chain reaction …
