Abstract: The genus Entamoeba includes a variety of widely distributed species adapted to live in the digestive tracts of humans and a large variety of animals of different classes. The objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence, distribution, and molecular epidemiology of Entamoeba spp. in different classes of hosts in Brazil. Studies that analyzed hosts from several classes, including humans and domestic, wild, or captive animals, were considered. The pooled prevalence of Entamoeba spp. was calculated u… Show more

“…Up to now, seven ( E. bangladeshi , E. histolytica , E. dispar , E. coli , E. moshkovskii , E. hartmanni , and E. polecki ) and three ( E. polecki , E. suis and E. histolytica ) species of Entamoeba spp. have been identified in humans and pigs, respectively [ 6 , 7 , 8 ]. Most of them are considered harmless, but some species can cause serious intestinal diseases [ 9 , 10 ].…”

“…Most of them are considered harmless, but some species can cause serious intestinal diseases [ 9 , 10 ]. Sometimes, E. histolytica causes more serious diseases, and relatively more research has been conducted concerning E. histolytica worldwide, and hygiene conditions are closely related to the disease [ 6 , 11 ]. E. histolytica can invade not only the liver and colon tissue of the host, causing colon ulcers and liver abscesses, but also the lungs, skin, genitourinary tract, brain and spleen, causing other severe diseases [ 6 , 12 ].…”
