chromatography and mass spectrometry identified 85 proteins involved in surface …

Background Several eukaryotic parasites form cysts that transmit infection. The process is
found in diverse organisms such as Toxoplasma, Giardia, and nematodes. In Entamoeba …

Entamoeba histolytica is the cause of amebic colitis and liver abscess. This parasite induces
apoptosis in host cells and utilizes exposed ligands such as phosphatidylserine to ingest the …

In a previous work we described the transcriptional silencing of the amoebapore A (AP-A)
gene (Ehap-a) of Entamoeba histolytica strain HM-1: IMSS. The silencing occurred following …

The availability of Rahman, and the virulent HM-1: IMSS strain of E. histolytica, provides a
powerful tool for identifying virulence factors of E. histolytica. Here we report an attempt to …

Entamoeba histolytica is a protozoan parasite responsible for amoebiasis, a disease with a
high prevalence in developing countries. Establishing an amoebic infection involves …

Calcium signaling plays a key role in many essential processes in almost all eukaryotic
systems. It is believed that it may also be an important signaling system of the protist parasite …
