They are single-celled parasites that are commonly found in the intestine but never cause illness. They do not harm the body, even in people with weak immune systems. The nonpathogenic intestinal protozoa include: Chilomastix mesnili. Endolimax nana. Entamoeba coli. Entamoeba dispar. Entamoeba hartmanni. Entamoeba polecki.
Nov 4, 2015 · Abstract. Of the so-called nonpathogenic intestinal protozoa, Endolimax nana belongs to the ones least well described. Most data on E. nana have emerged from general surveys of intestinal parasites in selected cohorts and mostly in the absence of any particular focus on Endolimax.
Endolimax is a genus of amoebozoa [1] that are found in the intestines of various animals, including the species E. nana found in humans. Originally thought to be non-pathogenic, studies suggest it can cause intermittent or chronic diarrhea.
Symptomatic people who are found to have these protozoa in their stool should be examined for other causes of their symptoms. The nonpathogenic intestinal protozoa include: Chilomastix mesnili. Endolimax nana. Entamoeba coli. Entamoeba dispar. Entamoeba hartmanni. Entamoeba polecki. Iodamoeba buetschlii.
