Entamoeba stage conversion: progress and new insights.
Entamoeba stage conversion: progress and new insights. Current opinion in microbiology Manna, D. n., Ehrenkaufer, G. M., Lozano-Amado, D. n., Singh, U. n. 2020; 58: 62–68Abstract
Entamoeba histolytica, an anaerobic protozoan, is an important global health problem. This parasite has a biphasic life cycle consisting of a dormant cyst stage which is environmentally resistant and transmits the infection, and the proliferative trophozoite stage which is motile and causes invasive disease. The stage conversion process remains poorly understood despite being central to amoebic biology. In this review, we will highlight recent progress in our understanding of Entamoeba stage conversion including dissecting transcriptome analysis in development, characterization of transcriptional networks, demonstration of epigenetic regulation, and role of small molecules that regulate Entamoeba development.
