Alternative definition : KEGG: Entamoeba histolytica, an extracellular protozoan parasite, is a human pathogen that invades the intestinal epithelium. Infection occurs upon ingestion of contaminated water and food. The pathogenesis of amoebiasis begins with parasite attachment and disruption of the intestinal mucus layer, followed by apoptosis of host epithelial cells. Intestinal tissue destruction causes severe dysentery and ulcerations in amoebic colitis. Several amoebic proteins such as lectins, cysteine proteinases, and amoebapores are associated with the invasion process. The parasite can cause extraintestinal infection, like amoebic liver abscess, by evading the immune response.;
