| isolation and characterization of a potentially virulent species entamoeba nuttalli from captive japanese macaques. | we have recently proposed revival of the name entamoeba nuttalli castellani, 1908 for a virulent amoeba (p19-061405 strain) isolated from a rhesus monkey (macaca mulatta) and located phylogenetically between e. histolytica and e. dispar. in this study, e. nuttalli was isolated from feces of captive japanese macaques (m. fuscata) in an open-air corral in japan. the sequence of the 18s rrna gene in the isolates differed from the p19-061405 strain in 2 nucleotide positions, but was identical to the ... | 2009 | 19635174 |
| entamoeba histolytica and e. dispar infections in captive macaques (macaca fascicularis) in the philippines. | entamoeba histolytica is a protozoan parasite that infects man and animals. this parasite has a global distribution and the disease it causes is usually characterized by diarrhea. in order to detect the parasite, it is necessary to differentiate it from entamoeba dispar. e. dispar appears morphologically similar to e. histolytica but does not cause disease and tissue invasion. this study reports on the prevalence of e. histolytica and e. dispar among captive macaques in a primate facility in the ... | 2010 | 19862480 |
| high prevalence of entamoeba infections in captive long-tailed macaques in china. | long-tailed macaques (macaca fascicularis) are bred in china for export and for use in experiments. entamoeba infections in captive long-tailed macaques were surveyed in one of the biggest colonies located in guangxi province, china. one stool sample was obtained from each of the 152 different cages representing >3,000 macaques in the colony. the samples were examined by pcr for five entamoeba species. the number of detected entamoeba coli infections comprised 94% of the samples, 93% for entamoe ... | 2011 | 21484347 |
| prevalence and genetic diversity of entamoeba species infecting macaques in southwest china. | many colonies of macaques (macaca fascicularis and macaca mulatta) are maintained in china, especially in guangxi and guizhou. a total of 803 fresh stool samples infected with entamoeba were obtained from three big colonies of macaques located in southwest china. the samples were examined for the presence of five entamoeba species using pcr. entamoeba nuttalli, entamoeba dispar, entamoeba coli, and entamoeba chattoni infections were detected, but entamoeba histolytica infection was not. this stu ... | 2013 | 23354942 |
