However, the parasite and the host factors contributing to the development of the disease, remain undetermined. It is also unclear why certain individuals develop extra-intestinal amebiasis without exhibiting apparent intestinal symptoms. An outbreak of amebic liver abscess...
The DNA content of Entamoeba parasites appears to be regulated by an unusual mechanism. This conclusion, however, was based on experiments that examined parasites grown in media that did not contain short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) normally found in the colonic lumen.
