Maintenance of intracellular hypoxia and adequate heat shock response are essential requirements for pathogenicity and virulence ofEntamoeba histolytica

Abstract excerpt
Adhesion to cells, cytotoxicity and proteolysis are functions required for virulence and pathogenicity of Entamoeba histolytica. However, there was no correlation between these in vitro functions and the early elimination of non-pathogenic E. dispar and non-virulent E. histolytica (nvEh) in experimental amoebic liver abscesses developed in hamsters. Thus, additional functions may be involved in amoebic...
