Amebiasis.

29 Sep 2008 Amebiasis is defined as infection with Entamoeba histolytica, regardless of associated symptomatology. In resource-rich nations, this parasitic protozoan is seen primarily in travelers to and emigrants from endemic areas. Infections range from ... Read more...

The putrescine analogue 1,4-diamino-2-butanone affects polyamine synthesis, transport, ultrastructure and intracellular survival in Leishmania amazonensis.

29 Sep 2008 Polyamines are important regulators of growth and differentiation in a variety of cells, including parasitic protozoa. Promastigotes of Leishmania species have high levels of putrescine and spermidine and their growth can be inhibited by polyamine ... Read more...

Current world status of Balantidium coli.

29 Sep 2008 Balantidium coli is a cosmopolitan parasitic-opportunistic pathogen that can be found throughout the world. Pigs are its reservoir hosts, and humans become infected through direct or indirect contact with pigs. In rural areas and in some developing ... Read more...
