Endolimax nana. Endolimax nana ( Fig. 4-1) is the smallest of the intestine-dwelling amoebae infecting humans, its trophozoite averaging only 8 μm in diameter (range, 6-15 μm). The trophozoite lives in the host's colon and is generally considered to be nonpathogenic. According to some surveys, prevalence may be as high as 30% in some Endolimax is a genus of amoebozoa that are found in the intestines of various animals, including the species E. nana found in humans. Originally thought to be non-pathogenic, studies suggest it can cause intermittent or chronic diarrhea. Additionally, it is very significant in medicine because it can provide false positives for other tests, notably the similar species Entamoeba histolytica Blastocystis species is a parasite found in the colon and cecum with clinical significance of gastrointestinal infections presenting with diarrhea and non-specific findings of nausea and vomiting.Endolimax nana resides in the colon but can also be found in the appendix. There is limited evidence regarding pathogenicity for these protozoan.Transmission is proposed to be fecal-oral. Última edición el 21 de agosto de 2022 . El Endolimax nana es una ameba intestinal que parásita exclusivamente el intestino de los humanos. Sin embargo, es un parásito comensal no patógeno, lo que quiere decir que no le ocasiona daño considerable al ser humano. An overview of the work that has been performed on the parasite since the genus Endolimax was described by Kuenen and Swellengrebel in 1917 is sought to suggest activities that may pave the way for a better understanding of E. nana in a clinical and public health context. Of the so-called nonpathogenic intestinal protozoa, Endolimax nana belongs to the ones least well described.
