2020, Acta TropicaCitation Excerpt :Entamoeba is a free-living protozoan parasitic species that can infect a variety of vertebrate and invertebrate hosts (Matsubayashi et al., 2015; Kawano et al., 2017). There are up to 24 species of Entamoeba described worldwide, but only several species such as Entamoeba histolytica, E. coli, E. dispar, E. moshkovskii, E. hartmanni and E. polecki reside in the human intestinal lumen (Petri et al., 2000). Entamoeba infections can result in either harmless intestinal colonization, or invasion of the colonic wall that damages other tissues, such as liver, lung and brain.
