Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba dispar Utilize Externalized Phosphatidylserine for Recognition and Phagocytosis of Erythrocytes

Amebic erythrophagocytosis is characteristic of invasive amebiasis, and mutants deficient in erythrocyte ingestion are avirulent. We sought to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying erythrocyte phagocytosis by Entamoeba histolytica. Following adherence to amebae, erythrocytes became round an...
