Entamoeba histolytica is a protozoan parasite and the causative agent of amebiasis. It is
estimated approximately 1% of humans are infected with E. histolytica, resulting in an …

Entamoeba histolytica is the third-leading cause of parasitic mortality globally. E. histolytica
infection generally does not cause symptoms, but the parasite has potent pathogenic …

Background To establish an infection in the vagina, Trichomonas vaginalis must adapt to
various environmental cues for survival and further replication. Nutrient competition by …

Entamoeba histolytica is the pathogenic amoeba responsible for amoebiasis, an infectious
disease targeting human tissues. Amoebiasis arises when virulent trophozoites start to …

Human infections with Entamoeba histolytica sporadically become pathogenic, unknown
triggers converting the parasite to its invasive phenotype. Parasite virulence results from …

Background The genus Paracoccidioides comprises human thermal dimorphic fungi, which
