Communities from cities located in four Brazilian biomes were selected: Cachoeiras de Macacu (CAM) in the state of Rio de Janeiro (Atlantic Forest biome), Teresina (TER) and São João do Piauí (SJPI) in Piauí (Cerrado and Caatinga biomes, respectively), and Santa Isabel do Rio Negro (SIRN) in Amazonas and Bagre (BAG) in Pará (Amazon biome) (Fig. 1)....
Fecal samples positive on light microscopy were subjected to molecular analyses for species characterization and phylogenetic studies. In addition, some Entamoeba spp.-negative samples on microscopy were selected, randomly or when another individual from the same household was positive, to be tested by PCR. This was performed in order to improve th...
The obtained sequences were edited and analyzed using BioEdit version 7.2.5 software . The Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLASTn; NCBI https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/) was used to verify similarity with Entamoeba species. The obtained sequences were deposited in GenBank under accession numbers MW026735–MW026794. BioEdit version 7.2.5 was used to...
