Title: [Relevance of Entamoeba dispar in amebiasis].
Abstract: Entamoeba histolytica was redefined to recognize the existence of two morphologically indistinguishable species but genetically distinct: E. histolytica and E. dispar. The former is a pathogen responsible for amebiasis while the latter is a commensal. This redefinition has dramatically changed the understanding of amebiasis and its clinical management.
