A genus of parasitic amoeba that lives within the intestines or tissues of hosts; an alternative spelling of Entamoeba.
From endo- (within) + amoeba (from Greek amoibē, change). This is an alternative or older spelling of the standard genus name Entamoeba.
These single-celled parasites have caused dysentery epidemics throughout human history, and it took scientists until the late 1800s to even realize they were alive and causing disease.
