Nov 12, 2020 · Entamoeba histolytica is an extracellular enteric eukaryotic parasite. Globally, an average of 50 million cases and 55,000 to 100,000 deaths are due to E. histolytica infection each year, primarily impacting the developing world [ 1, 2 ]. The world is widely unprepared for an outbreak of E. histolytica due to the lack of a vaccine and the use ...
Jun 3, 2020 · Entamoeba histolytica is a protozoan parasite responsible for amoebiasis, a disease with a high prevalence in developing countries. Establishing an amoebic infection involves interplay between pathogenic factors for invasion and tissue damage, and immune responses for protecting the host. Here, we review the pathogenicity of E. histolytica and summarize the latest knowledge on immune response ...

The trophozoites of E. histolytica typically have a diameter of 15 to 20 µm. They exhibit narrow pseudopods. The image below left is an iron-hematoxylin stain (1000x). The image below right a wet mount of E. histolytica with a "finger-like" projection and ingested red blood cells (1000x).
Dec 1, 2016 · The parasite Entamoeba histolytica is responsible for amoebiasis, an infectious disease that affects the digestive tract and the liver in humans [1]. After malaria, amoebiasis is the second leading cause of death due to parasitic disease. E. histolytica has a two-stage life cycle, with an infective cyst stage and an invasive trophozoite stage ...

Feb 1, 2008 · Entamoeba histolytica trophozoites from the HM1-IMSS strain were cultured at 36 °C in TYI-S-33 culture medium supplemented with 10% bovine serum and vitamin mixture. Cell division was stimulated by subcultivation of parasites in the log phase of growth (72 h) in fresh culture medium ( Gómez-Conde et al., 1998 ).
