Abstract:
Entamoeba is a zoonotic protozoan that can parasitize in the intestine and other organs in human and animals . There are many species in this genus ,but only Entamoeba histolytica can cause amebic colitis and liver abscess ,and even death .The cysts and trophozoits are difficult to be discriminated for pathogenic and nonpathogenic Entamoeba .And there is al-so difference in the pathogenicity ,infectivity etc .,even in the same species .Therefore ,it is difficult to confirm the Entamoeba species according to traditional method ,thus affecting the use of medicine .In this article ,the research progress of molecular examination and genotyping method about entamoeba are reviewed .
