Oct 6, 2022 · Entamoeba histolytica is an enteric protozoan parasite with worldwide distribution. It is responsible for amoebic dysentery (bloody diarrhea) and invasive extraintestinal amebiasis (such as liver abscess, peritonitis, and pleuropulmonary abscess). Other species of Entamoeba; Entamoeba hartmanii, Entamoeba coli, and Entamoeba dispar do not cause ...

Amoebiasis is a disease caused by the cosmopolite parasitic protozoa E. histolytica; it has been estimated that the 10% of the world population is infected by this protozoa, which represents ...
Nov 22, 2023 · Intestinal amebiasis is caused by the protozoan Entamoeba histolytica. There are four species of intestinal amebae with identical morphologic characteristics: E. histolytica, E. dispar, E. moshkovskii, and E. bangladeshi [ 1,2 ]. Most symptomatic disease is caused by E. histolytica; E. dispar is generally considered nonpathogenic.
Jan 1, 2014 · The life cycle of E. histolytica has been described by Dobell (1928) and comprises an infective cyst form, metacystic trophozoite, invasive motile feeding trophozoite, precyst and metacyst stages. Infection occurs following ingestion of mature cysts (10–16 μm) which contain up to four nuclei, in faecally contaminated food, water, on hands or ...
