  1. Aug 28, 2024 · Entamoeba histolytica is the second most deadly eukaryotic parasite to affect humans. It causes amoebiasis, a disease in which the parasite induces dysentery and diarrhoea. If untreated, the infection can then develop into tissue damage, with the amoeba inducing abscesses in tissues such as the liver.

  2. Aug 28, 2024 · The high motility of the pathogenic amoeba Entamoeba histolytica is a decisive factor in its ability to cross the human colonic barrier. We used quantitative live imaging techniques to study the migration of this parasite on fibronectin, a key tissue component.

  3. Aug 29, 2024 · Intestinal amoebiasis is caused by Entamoeba histolytica, one of the deadliest human-infective parasites. Central to its pathogenicity is its binding to mucosal carbohydrates, which precedes tissue damage by trogocytosis.

  4. Aug 28, 2024 · All known representatives are naked (without any cell coverings), exhibit a tendency to form filose pseudopodia, and possess a two-part life history, comprised of the amoeboid stage (=trophozoite) and an obligatory digestive cyst stage (Hess & Suthaus, 2022). As revealed by SSU rRNA gene phylogenies, the vampyrellids can be subdivided in ...

  5. Aug 26, 2024 · We found that the ancestors of species that evolved multiple worker castes had colony sizes that were more than 3.5 times larger compared with the ancestors of species that retained one worker ...

  6. Aug 27, 2024 · Metronidazole resistance in the protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica is associated with increased expression of iron-containing superoxide dismutase and peroxiredoxin and decreased expression of ferredoxin 1 and flavin reductase.

    Sep 5, 2024 · Infectious agent of amoebiasis. Amoebiasis is caused by the parasite Entamoeba histolytica. The parasite exists in two forms: an infective cyst and a potentially pathogenic trophozoite. It should not be confused with the morphologically identical non-pathogenic E. dispar and E. moshkovskii.
