| [report on the first nationwide survey of the distribution of human parasites in china. 1. regional distribution of parasite species]. | a nationwide (taiwan province not included) survey of the distribution of human parasites in china during 1988-1992 was conducted under the auspices of the ministry of public health, with stratified masses randomly sampling. a total of 2,848 pilot sites in 726 counties with a population of 1,477,742 were surveyed, according to unified standard, unified diagnostic method and control quality. the overall infection rate of parasites was 62. 632%. among them, the infection rate was over 50% in 17 pr ... | 1994 | 7720194 |
| 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 |
| primary pathogenicity analysis of a chinese entamoeba histolytica isolate. | this study is the first to isolate an entamoeba histolytica strain from chinese amoebic patients and to conduct a detailed examination of its virulence. a fecal sample that contains cysts of e. histolytica was obtained from guangxi province. the sample was cultured axenically and then cloned by limiting dilution, and named as xlac. in vitro and in vivo tests were conducted to evaluate the virulence of the entamoeba isolate. the e. histolytica strain xlac was successfully cloned and cultured axen ... | 2013 | 23612076 |
