Amoebasis

/ˌæmoʊˈbeɪəsɪs/ noun

Definition

A disease or condition caused by infection with amoebas, such as dysentery caused by the amoeba Entamoeba histolytica.

Etymology

From 'amoeba' plus medical suffix '-iasis' (indicating a diseased condition or infestation). This medical term follows the standard pattern for naming diseases caused by specific parasites.

Kelly Says

Amoebasis (specifically amoebic dysentery) is a major global health problem affecting hundreds of millions of people, especially in areas with contaminated water—it's why access to clean water is literally a life-or-death issue.
