Susceptibility testing of Entamoeba histolytica

Entamoeba histolytica, technique for in vitro screening of drugs with potential antiamebic activity based on uptake of [3H]thymidine, method should permit evaluation of much larger number of potential agents and allow for better definition of both metabolism of parasite and effects of antiamebic age...
