Abstract
Summary The ability of 3 laboratory strains of Entamoeba histolytica (K-9, 103 and 200) to lyse the red blood cells of the human and the ox was studied. It was found that the K-9 strain lysed ox, but not human RBC; the 103 strain lysed human, but not ox RBC; the 200 strain lysed both human and ox RBC. This selective hemolysis of the RBC of different species by separate strains of E. histolytica appears to constitute a distinct strain variation in these amebae.Keywords
