The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of electromagnetic radiation of a digital Global System for Mobile Communication mobile telephone (900 MHz) on Entamoeba histolytica (E. histolytica) and Entamoeba dispar (E. dispar) (cysts or trophozoites, or both) in a 24-hour period.
This study was carried out from April 2004 to May 2004 at the Department of Parasitology, Medical Faculty of Dokuz Eylul University in Izmir, Turkey. The cultivated isolate tubes, which were exposed to electromagnetic field at 37 degrees C, were evaluated as study group, whereas the tubes without exposure were assessed as control group. Finally, only living parasites in all tubes were counted using a hemacytometer. The effect of the temperature was evaluated for both control and study groups.
The influence of electromagnetic field and temperature was assessed separately for the study group. The parasite number of E. histolytica decreased after exposure at 37 degrees C and room temperature (p=0.009) compared to the decrease in the control group (p=0.009). The parasite number of E. dispar also decreased after exposure at 37 degrees C and room temperature (p=0.009). In comparison to control tubes, this was a significant decrease (p=0.008). In the case of exposure of E. histolytica the results did not reveal any significant difference between temperature degrees to magnetic field (p=0.459) and E. dispar (p=0.172).
Our findings show that exposure to electromagnetic field for a certain period of time may cause damage that can lead to death in single-cell organisms.
本研究旨在调查数字全球移动通信系统移动电话（900兆赫）的电磁辐射在24小时内对溶组织内阿米巴（溶组织内阿米巴）和迪斯帕内阿米巴（迪斯帕内阿米巴）（包囊或滋养体，或两者）的影响。
本研究于2004年4月至2004年5月在土耳其伊兹密尔多库兹艾吕尔大学医学院寄生虫学系进行。在37摄氏度下暴露于电磁场的培养分离管作为研究组进行评估，而未暴露的管作为对照组进行评估。最后，使用血细胞计数器对所有管中的活寄生虫进行计数。对对照组和研究组的温度影响进行了评估。
对研究组分别评估了电磁场和温度的影响。与对照组相比，溶组织内阿米巴在37摄氏度和室温下暴露后的寄生虫数量减少（p=0.009），对照组的减少率为（p=0.009）。迪斯帕内阿米巴在37摄氏度和室温下暴露后的寄生虫数量也减少了（p=0.009）。与对照管相比，这是一个显著的减少（p=0.008）。在溶组织内阿米巴暴露的情况下，结果显示温度与磁场之间（p=0.459）和迪斯帕内阿米巴（p=0.172）之间没有显著差异。
我们的研究结果表明，在一段时间内暴露于电磁场可能会对单细胞生物造成损害，导致其死亡。
