Entamoeba histolytica, human, parasite, InfestationAbstract
The parasite Entamoeba histolytica is widespread worldwide, and it is increasingly prevalent in poor countries, causing amoebic dysentery. The parasite is transmitted to humans, by eating or drinking water contaminated with the parasite. It spreads to all ages and both sexes. The parasite has two stages, the Trophozoite stage and the cystic stage. The youngest patient was 10 months old and the oldest was 80 years old. The Rate of parasite infestation is 34%. For children under the age of 15 years, the infestation rate was 53%, while the percentage was 24% for those whose ages ranged between 15-30 years, while the percentage was 5.5% for those whose ages ranged between 30-45 years; while the percentage Was 18% for those who were they are over 45 years old. The infection rate in males only was 37% and in females, only the rate was 31%. There are no differences between the averages of infection during the study months (1-8) Months
