3 days ago · Entamoeba histolytica , an anaerobic parasite protozoan, is the causative agent of amoebiasis, the bloody diarrhea, and liver abscesses in humans. Amoebiasis is more predominant in tropical areas with poor sanitation conditions, and it remains the fourth leading cause of death due to a protozoan infection. E. histolytica life cycle spans between an infective 'cyst stage' and an active disease ...

4 days ago · Methods: The use of various DNA extraction techniques in PCR assays for the identification and differentiation of the three-microscopy indistinguishable Entamoeba species in humans was investigated. The small-subunit rRNA gene's midsection was used to create a conserved forward primer, and reverse primers were created using signature sequences ...
