“…For instance, prevalence of Ascaris ova in soil ranged from 8.8% at Umuji in Nigeria (Chukwuma et al, 2009) to 84.4% in Turkey (Ulukanligil et al, 2001). The corresponding prevalence range for other media were for faecal matter 29.6% in Nigeria (Odu et al, 2013) to 88.5% in Turkey (Ulukanligil et al, 2001); water samples 5.0% in Pesing Polgar (Subahar and Sutanto, 2008) to 60.8% in Turkey (Ulukanligil et al, 2001). Other media where Ascaris ova were recorded included vegetables (14%), manure 30% (at the middle heap) to 88.0% (at the bottom heap), human nails (65%) and hands (60%).…”

“…This may be related to the characteristics of parasites which very rarely encysts in the intestinal lumen of animals [42]. Three important pathways that contribute to the spread and spread of E. histolytica are 1) person to person transmission; 2) water and foodborne transmission and 3) borne transmission vector [32,33,45]. Other factors that can also increase the risk of disease transmission are malnutrition, poverty, low education, population density, inadequate water supply, and poor sanitation [44,15].…”

Amoebiasis caused by Entamoeba histolytica is an important issue in world public health because it is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Entamoeba histolytica is the only species of its genus that commonly causes mild irritation, injury, to inflammation of the walls of the colon and cecum. In some cases, parasites also invade other organs, especially the liver, lungs, kidneys, and brain. Methods: Our article search uses the help of four search engines namely Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct, and Springer. Results: Entamoeba histolytica is not easily transmitted from animals to humans, due to the fact that this parasite rarely encysts in the intestinal lumen of animals which is an important factor in the transmission of this parasite. And conversely, subclinical amebiasis in humans acts as the dominant host for transmission of this parasite either from human to human or from human to animal.
