Abstract excerpt

Entamoeba nuttalli is genetically the closest to Entamoeba histolytica, the causative agent of human amebiasis. E. nuttalli is found in Macaca species, exhibiting no symptoms while potentially virulent. Using comparative genomics of Entamoeba species, we identified a gene encoding an E. nuttalli-specific protein containing 42 repeats of an octapeptide (PTORS). In the present study, we analyzed the genes in...
