[Relevance of Entamoeba dispar in amebiasis]
Investigacion Clinica
|September 13, 2001
Abstract:
Entamoeba histolytica was redefined to recognize the existence of two morphologically indistinguishable species but genetically distinct: E. histolytica and E. dispar. The former is a pathogen responsible for amebiasis while the latter is a commensal. This redefinition has dramatically changed the understanding of amebiasis and its clinical management.
