| Trophozoites of Entamoeba histolytica were isolated from a stool sample, and then cultivated and maintained axenically by using Locke-egg medium (LEM). The effect of supplementation of two different milk sources on the growth and activity of the parasite was investigated. The first source which is an animal (bovine milk) and the second is plant source (coconut & soybean milk). Different concentrations of milk (1, 5, and 10 %) have been added to the Locke-egg medium that is specified to the growth of E. histolytica. The ability of these three types of milk in inhibiting the E. histolytica growth was examined after 24 and 48h of incubation in addition to morphological changes that parasites underwent were observed. The results showed that bovine & soybean milk were active in the inhibition of the | ||
