Genomic DNA microarrays for Entamoeba histolytica: Applications for use in expression profiling and strain genotyping 2nd EMBO Workshop on Pathogenesis and Amoebiasis Macfarlane, R., Bhattacharya, D., Singh, U. ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE. 2005: 196–202

Abstract

The parasite Entamoeba histolytica is a causative agent of dysentery and liver abscesses. Found predominantly in developing countries, this parasitic infection is responsible for significant morbidity and mortality. We have developed a genomic DNA microarray for E. histolytica. The array composed of 11,328 clones contains >2000 unique genes and was utilized for expression profiling and comparative genomic hybridizations of Entamoeba strains. We present a synopsis of our results to date and potential future applications of microarray technology for the study of Entamoeba biology.
