Molecular characterisation of virulence in Entamoeba histolytica

2015-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Entamoeba histolytica is a parasitic protozoan that infects the human digestive tract. Infection results from ingestion of cyst-contaminated food or water. To date, E. histolytica infection remains a major worldwide public health problem in worldwide endemic areas. The spectrum of clinical manifestations ranges from asymptomatic carrier to mucous and bloody diarrhea or even extraintestinal amoebiasis, usually amoe...
