Despite strong evidence for metronidazole, amoebiasis persists as a global burden, highlighting gaps in diagnostics and ...

Splenic plasma cell response and systemic antibody response to intestinal amoebiasis were studied in C3H/HeJ mice from 5 to 60 days post-inoculation with Entamoeba histolytica. At various time ...

Eh arginase Converts L-arginine, the precursor of NO, into L-ornithine and thus hinders NO production in the macrophage [29] β1 integrin-like receptors Interact with fibronectin and laminin of ...

The pathogenesis of a potentially fatal amoeba, Entamoeba histolytica (E. histolytica), has been discovered, showing that the organism uses a process coined as trogocytosis, to nibble sections of a ...

A heat-labile cytotoxin was isolated from virulent strains of axenically cultivated Entamoeba histolytica. Strains of E. histolytica representing a spectrum of virulence as determined in animal and in ...

Entamoeba histolytica kills human cells through trogocytosis or “cell nibbling” where amoebae bite off and ingest fragments of human cells. UC Davis researchers Katherine Ralston, Hannah ...

Amebiasis, also known as amoebic dysentery, is a serious parasitic infection. This condition can cause abdominal pain, diarrhea, and bloody stools, or it may cause no symptoms at all. The parasite ...

For decades scientists have been puzzled by a tiny parasite that affects millions worldwide, with the power to liquefy human organs and evade the immune system in ways that science hasn't been able to ...

ALA = Amoebic liver abscess; Eh = Entamoeba histolytica; EhCP = E. histolytica cysteine proteinase; Ehserp = E. histolytica serine proteinase; EhSTIRP = Serine threonine isoleucine-rich protein; KERP1 ...
