The consumption of a wide variety of species of reptiles caught from the wild has been an
important source of protein for humans world-wide for millennia. Terrapins, snakes, lizards …

DNA probe and PCR-based assays to identify and detect parasites are technically complex;
however, they have high sensitivity, directly detect parasites independent of the …

Entamoeba histolytica, the causative agent of human amebiasis, remains a significant cause
of morbidity and mortality in developing countries and is responsible for up to 100,000 …

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 …

A small number of Entamoeba isolates from humans, the best known of which is the
'Laredo'strain, have the ability to grow at room temperature. This peculiarity, along with other …

cDNA libraries were constructed from pathogenic (HM-1: IMSS) and nonpathogenic (SAW
1734) isolates of Entamoeba histolytica. A cDNA clone (cEH-P1) specific for pathogenic …

Amoebiasis is caused by two distinct species, a pathogenic form (Entamoeba histolytica)
and a nonpathogenic form (Entamoeba dispar), which are morphologically identical …

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are DNA fibers decorated with histones and
antimicrobial proteins from cytoplasmic granules released into the extracellular space in a …

We have analyzed three independent genomic loci of the protozoan parasite Entamoeba
histolytica that contain coding regions for the iron-containing superoxide dismutase, the pore …

In most organisms, the nuclear ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes are highly repetitive and
arranged as tandem repeats on one or more chromosomes. In Entamoeba, however, these …
