Recent advances in Entamoeba biology: RNA interference, drug discovery, and gut microbiome

2016-10-26

Abstract excerpt

In recent years, substantial progress has been made in understanding the molecular and cell biology of the human parasite Entamoeba histolytica , an important pathogen with significant global impact. This review outlines some recent advances in the Entamoeba field in the last five years, focusing on areas that have not recently been discussed in detail: (i) molecular mechanisms regulating parasite gene expression,...
