Molecular characterization of entamoeba histolytica tRNA genes
BACKGROUND: Entamoeba histolytica is a eukaryotic protozoan parasite responsible for the disease called amoebiasis. Amoebiasis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the developing world. It is well established that about 500 million people are infected worldwide, resulting in up to 100,000 …

High MUC2 Biosynthesis and Production Augment Pro-Inflammatory Responses in Colonic Goblet Cells
… human intestinal protozoan parasite, Entamoeba histolytica, goblet cells hypersecrete and become depleted of MUC2 mucin, impairing the protective mucus barrier to allow the parasite to contact the colonic epithelium and induce a robust pro-inflammatory cytokine response. While colonic absorptive …

Composition and Dynamics of the Plasma Membrane of Entamoeba Histolytica
… unique biochemical pathways. Furthermore, E. histolytica displays several interesting phenomena, including immune avoidance and contact dependent cytotoxicity, which have yet to be explained. Finally, amoebic dysentery, the disease caused by infection with E.histolytica, remains a problem both …

Development and Evaluation of a Multiplex Suspension Array Protocol for the Detection of Enteric Pathogens from Clinical Specimens
… cayetanensis, Cryptosporidium parvum, Entamoeba histolytica) and six virulence determinants of shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC), enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC), enteroinvasive Escherichia coli (EIEC) and Shigella spp. Precision and limits of detections were established for …

Biochemical analysis of a potential drug target in the human protozoal pathogen Trichomonas vaginalis
… Auranofin derivatives that were effective on E. histolytica recombinant TrxR were also tested to compare their effects on T. vaginalis recombinant TrxR. The results showed that auranofin effectively inhibits recombinant TvTrxR. Aurnofin derivatives were also shown to have different effects on …

Avaliação da etiologia das infecções enteroparasitárias em diferentes grupos pediátricos e genotipagem de isolados de Giardia duodenalis
… sp., Giardia duodenalis and Entamoeba histolytica by ELISA. Seventy-one fecal samples positive for Giardia duodenalis from day care centers children were subjected to genotyping by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of the target genes β-giardina and Gdh, followed by Analysis of …

SNARE-mediated exocytosis of MUC2 from intestinal goblet cells
… of the intestinal pathogen Entamoeba histolytica. The SNARE complex is the classical exocytosis machinery as the effector mechanism governing mucin secretion. In this model, exocytosis is carried out by specialized members of the Soluble NSF (N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor) …
