Quick Summary:

• Amebiasis is an infection caused by an amoeboid-protist, Entamoeba histolytica (single-celled microorganism). The infection is characterized by the presence of these protists in the gastrointestinal tract
• Amebiasis or Amebic Dysentery, is caused by exposure to infected feces. This may occur either through contaminated water, or through hand-to-mouth route
• Therefore, the prevalence of this disease is higher in those locations with poor sanitary conditions, like those found in developing nations, and which lack sufficient sources of clean and filtered water
• The amoeba, also thrives in warm moist conditions, favoring a longer lifespan without a host. This is one of the reasons, why Amebic Dysentery is concentrated in the tropical regions
• Many people are infected, without showing any signs and symptoms of the disease. These individuals are called the carriers of Amebiasis. Since, such carriers do not exhibit any signs and symptoms of the infection; it makes it difficult to track the number of individuals, carrying the disease-causing agent
• Blood tests and/or stool tests may be used to diagnose the condition, which can be treated using medications. The outcome on proper treatment, for Amebiasis, is generally good
