Identification of Differentially Expressed Genes in Virulent and Nonvirulent<i>Entamoeba</i>Species: Potential Implications for Amebic Pathogenesis
20 Dec 2005
Abstract excerpt
Entamoeba histolytica is a protozoan parasite that causes colitis and liver abscesses. Several Entamoeba species and strains with differing levels of virulence have been identified. E. histolytica HM-1:IMSS is a virulent strain, E. histolytica Rahman is a nonvirulent strain, and Entamoeba dispar is a nonvirulent species. We used an E. histolytica DNA microarray consisting of 2,110 genes to assess the...
