Entamoeba Histolytica

Entamoeba Histolytica

This is a parasite that can cause disease- specifically Amebiasis. The effect of Entamoeba Histolytica can take months and even years to surface after a human has been exposed to it. This parasite can enter the human body through contact with contaminated materials especially through food or water. Mature Entamoeba Histolytica can also be transmitted through a kind of sexual contact that exposes a person to foecal matter. Prevention can start by making sure everything, as much as possible, is clean and sterilized as Entamoeba Histolytica can survive up to a couple of weeks outside the human body. Entamoeba Histolytica when left untreated can cause death, which is estimated to grow as much as 100,000 in a year.
