Amoebiasis is infection by a protozoan, typically Entamoeba histolytica. It is usually contracted by ingesting water or food contaminated by amoebic cysts. Is usually included between the waterborne diseases. Amoebiasis most commonly affects young to middle-aged adults.
Transmission
Amoebiasis is transmitted by fecal contamination of drinking water and foods, but also by direct contact with dirty hands or objects as well as by sexual contact. Additionally, geophagy is a common route of infection in certain cultures.
