It causes many digestive complications including diarrhea , and fever(2). it transmits through bloodstream forming abscesses in the brain, eye, liver and other vital organs and tissues or even lead to death in some cases . Some individuals have no symptom of the disease but transmit the infection to others(4) It is well- established that E. histolytica leads to invasive disease in humans. Although both E. dispar and E. moshkovskii are still considered to be non pathogenic and free-living amoebas, respectively, some reports suggest their potential role in provoking disease in humans (5) Cysts of E.dispar , E.moshkovskii and E.hartmanni can be confused with E.histolytica. cysts in the parasitological examination(6) The molecular assays, is preferable as it detects E. histolytica , differentiates it from other species and monitors its true prevalence for better treatment and effective control (2)
