| | Infection can lead to amoebic dysentery, resulting from trophozoites invading the intestinal wall, and amoebic liver abscess and other extraintestinal lesions, resulting from spread of trophozoites from the intestine via the bloodstream. | | | Entamoeba histolytica is the third leading cause of morbidity and mortality due to parasitic disease in humans (after malaria and schistosomiasis) and is estimated to be responsible for between 50,000 and 100,000 deaths every year. | | | There are very few morphological criteria on which Entamoeba species identification can be based. |
