ENTERIC AMOEBAE
Intestinal amoebiasis is a potentially serious infection, although trophozoites may inhabit the intestines for years without causing damage or symptoms, during which time the person infected is an asymptomatic carrier.
These two organisms are found worldwide, especially in tropical countries and in those with low sanitation standards. As many as 50 million new cases of amoebiasis appear per year in the world, which result in the death of possibly up to 100,000 people .
