Learn about Endolimax nana, a nonpathogenic intestinal amoeba that infects humans and forms cysts. Find out how to identify, distinguish, and treat it in immigrants and refugees.
In this review, we seek to provide an overview of the work that has been performed on the parasite since the genus Endolimax was described by Kuenen and Swellengrebel in 1917 and suggest activities that may pave the way for a better understanding of E. nana in a clinical and public health context.
