Epidemiological and diagnostic studies for the surveillance of Entamoeba moshkovskii

Abstract

Entamoeba moshkovskii is species of the big genus Entamoeba. This type of parasite rarely causes disease in humans. However, this has been more changed recently. The purpose of the current study was to review all obtainable published data regarding E. moshkovskii infections around the world and provides essential information on the epidemiology, incidence, diagnosis and microbiological information of E. moshkovskii at present, trying to understand if it can be considered as important risk diarrhoeal pathogen. Only studies that depending on polymerase chain reaction as a definitive diagnosis of E. moshkovskii have been included because E. moshkovskii is undistinguished from E. histolytica and E. depress morphologically, so very little information is available concerning the epidemiology and prevalence of E. moshkovskii because few searches have been used molecular diagnostic techniques to identify it. The ability of E. moshkovskii to grow and adapt to the various environmental hard conditions may make its risk of infection higher than the risk of E. histolytica. Reasons beyond E. moshkovskii differentiation from other Entamoeba complexes for stopping dispensable medications in patients infected with nonpathogenic amoebiasis. All E. moshkovskii infections were gastrointestinal tract diseases associated with infectious diarrhea, From available data in this review, E. moshkovskii considered an important and potential risk pathogen with a high rate of residence and prevalence worldwide.
