Explaining the low incidence of invasive disease (10%) in humans infected with Entamoeba
histolytica has occupied the attention of generations of both clinical and nonclinical …

Human infection with the protozoan intestinal parasite Entamoeba histolytica, which causes
amebiasis, usually begins with ingestion of the dormant form of the organism, the cyst, which …

The value of treating subjects who pass Entamoeba histolyfica cysts in their faeces is
currently in question. In the endemic Durban area iso-enzyme electrophoresis of E …

Most infections with Entamoeba histolytica are asymptomatic. Two forms of the organism can
be distinguished biochemically, and this finding has been explained by two distinct …

cDNA libraries were constructed from pathogenic (HM-1: IMSS) and nonpathogenic (SAW

Amebic liver abscess (ALA) is a serious, but readily treatable form of hepatic infection. In
order to understand the clinical features of this condition in the United States, we reviewed …

Entamoeba histolytica can act as a harmless commensal organism in the lumen of the large
intestine, or can cause invasive amoebiasis. Some workers have suggested that there are …

Although Entamoeba dispar displays a similar morphology to Entamoeba histolytica, cellular
and molecular studies have revealed significant differences between these two amoebae …

The association of clinical presentation, in E. histolytica infection, with 4 isoenzyme systems
