Apr 17, 2023 · Entamoeba histolytica is a protozoan that causes intestinal amebiasis as well as extraintestinal manifestations. Although 90 percent of E. histolytica infections are asymptomatic, nearly 50 million people become symptomatic, with about 100,000 deaths yearly.[1] Amebic infections are more prevalent in countries with lower socioeconomic conditions.[2]

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]

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 ...

Aug 1, 2012 · The protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica (E. histolytica) is a human pathogen and one of the leading parasitic burdens in developing countries, contributing to an estimated 100 000 deaths annually [1]. E. histolytica spreads by the fecal–oral route mainly in areas where water sanitation is poor [2]. The parasite has a simple two-stage ...
Jan 31, 2022 · Entamoeba dispar, an ameba morphologically similar to E. histolytica, also colonizes the human gut and is a separate species with no invasive potential. The distinction between the two species of amebas has had profound implications for the epidemiology of amebiasis, since most asymptomatic infections found worldwide are attributed to E. dispar.
