Identification of the Virulence Landscape Essential for Entamoeba histolytica Invasion of the Human Colon

Amoebiasis arises when virulent trophozoites start to destroy the muco-epithelial barrier by first crossing the mucus, then killing host cells, triggering inflammation and subsequently causing dysentery.
