Host–Parasite interactions in Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba dispar: what have we learned from their genomes?
2 Aug 2011
Abstract excerpt
Invasive amoebiasis caused by Entamoeba histolytica is a major global health problem. Virulence is a rare outcome of infection, occurring in fewer than 1 in 10 infections. Not all strains of the parasite are equally virulent, and understanding the mechanisms and causes of virulence is an important goal of Entamoeba research. The sequencing of the genome of E. histolytica and the related avirulent species...
