Hepatic amebiasis in spider monkeys.

H L Amyx, D M Asher, T E Nash

    The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene
    |September 1, 1978

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Researchers discovered a natural model for studying invasive amebiasis. An outbreak in spider monkeys demonstrated Entamoeba histolytica susceptibility, offering a new avenue for visceral amebiasis research.

    Area of Science:

    • * Infectious Diseases
    • * Parasitology
    • * Veterinary Medicine

    Background:

    • * Previous models for hepatic amebiasis required artificial induction of parasites in animal livers.
    • * A natural model for visceral amebiasis in humans has been notably absent.
    • * Investigating invasive amebiasis requires a suitable animal model that mimics human disease progression.
