The Taxonomy of the Genus <em>Entamoeba</em> (Archamoebea: Endamoebidae): A Historical and Nomenclatural Review

2026-02-02

Abstract excerpt

Throughout history, species within the genus Entamoeba have been described using a set of criteria that have not always been applied consistently, resulting in a taxonomy that is often confusing and controversial. Several factors have influenced the application of these criteria, including the limited number of morphological characters useful for taxonomic studies, overlapping host ranges among many species, the o...
