Jul 14, 2014 · However, the recent description of various nonpathogenic Entamoeba species like Entamoeba dispar, E. moshkovskii and the newly described Entamoeba bangladeshi as morphologically indistinguishable forms from E. histolytica has required the need for alternative diagnostic methods for differentiation. Since the last decade, molecular methods have ...

Introduction. Entamoeba histolytica, the enteric parasite, has a simple two-stage life cycle. It can exist as the motile, unicellular tropho-zoite in the human intestine or as the dormant quadri-nucleate cyst in the external environment. The trophozoite ranges in size from 20–40 μm.

Nov 1, 1999 · The eukaryotic nucleus is a chimera of genes from the eukaryotic host and those transferred from the endosymbiont. Many of the latter class are known to encode products that are imported into the mitochondria. Several genes recently found in the nucleus of E. histolytica have homologues that are targeted to the mitochondria of other eukaryotes ...

Abstract. Entamoeba histolytica, the protozoan responsible for human amoebiasis, has a complex genome, whose linear chromosomes and DNA circles have so far eluded detailed analysis. We report the detection by transmission electron microscopy of nuclear vesicles (0.05-0.3 microm in diameter) carrying DNA in E. histolytica trophozoites.

Entamoeba cells are small, with a single nucleus and typically a single lobose pseudopod taking the form of a clear anterior bulge. They have a simple life cycle. They have a simple life cycle. The trophozoite (feeding-dividing form) is approximately 10-20 μm in diameter and feeds primarily on bacteria.
Oct 31, 2022 · Thioredoxin is crucial as it has various functions: acting as an antioxidative defense, modulating the intracellular and extracellular signaling pathways, cell growth, regulating DNA synthesis and transcription factor, modulating the immune response, apoptosis, and involvement in post-translational redox modifications on the target protein [57 ...

Feb 19, 2010 · In mammals, DNA methylation is associated with gene silencing and transposon control. We have previously established the presence of methyl cytosine in the genome of Entamoeba histolytica, an important unicellular human pathogen. Ehmeth, an enzyme that belongs to the DNA methyltransferase 2 (Dnmt2) family, catalyzes DNA methylation in the parasite.
