Mar 12, 2021 · Abstract. Amebiasis is a disease caused by the unicellular parasite Entamoeba histolytica. In most cases, the infection is asymptomatic but when symptomatic, the infection can cause dysentery and invasive extraintestinal complications. In the gut, E. histolytica feeds on bacteria. Increasing evidences support the role of the gut microbiota in ...

Abstract. Entamoeba histolytica represents one of the leading causes of parasitic death worldwide. Although identified as the causative agent of amebiasis since 1875, the molecular mechanisms by which the parasite causes disease are still not fully understood. Studying Entamoeba reveals insights into a eukaryotic cell that differs in many ways ...

Apr 1, 2022 · Increased goblet cells indicated that the immunity increased in the mucosa of the colon as well as the production of anti-microbial antibodies. Both events showed that this extract is a good indicator for curing patients with E. histolytica infection. Another natural product used against E. histolytica is a Camellia sinensis extract.

Entamoeba histolytica is an anaerobic parasitic amoebozoan, part of the genus Entamoeba. [1] Predominantly infecting humans and other primates causing amoebiasis, E. histolytica is estimated to infect about 35-50 million people worldwide. [1] E. histolytica infection is estimated to kill more than 55,000 people each year. [2]

Entamoeba histolytica occurs in the following forms, the tro-phozoites,precyst,cyst,metacyst,andmetacystictrophozoite. The trophozoite is about 10–60 μm in size with a clear finely granular cytoplasm and a spherical nucleus that shows aggre-gation of chromatin beads at the nuclear membrane and a centrally located karyosome.

Jul 4, 2021 · Protozoan species, genus Entamoeba. E. histolytica is morphologically similar to E. dispar, E. moshkovskii, and E. bangladeshi. Histolytic - histo + lyein (Greek) to loosen, trophozoites contain cytolytic and proteolytic enzymes, including collagenase and proteinases, and lyze neutrophils and macrophages. Cysts are ingested; excystation occurs ...
