Published in 2020 at "Infection and Immunity"

DOI: 10.1128/iai.00903-19

Abstract: Entamoeba histolytica and its reptilian counterpart and encystation model Entamoeba invadens formed a polarized monopodial morphology when treated with pentoxifylline. This morphology was propelled by retrograde flow of the cell surface resulting from a cyclic… read more here.

Published in 2022 at "PLoS ONE"

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0271640

Abstract: Entamoeba are amoeboid extracellular parasites that represent an important group of organisms for which the regulatory networks must be examined to better understand how genes and functional processes are interrelated. In this work, we inferred… read more here.

Published in 2022 at "Annals of parasitology"

DOI: 10.17420/ap6803.456

Abstract: Liver abscesses are known to be trophozoites of the amoeba parasite. They are devoured by the neutrophil cells in the liver and become large assemblies because these white cells do not eliminate the parasite and… read more here.
