A disease caused by parasitic amoebae of the endameba genus, characterized by intestinal inflammation and dysentery.
From endameba + -iasis (Greek suffix meaning condition or disease). This is an alternative term for amebiasis or amoebiasis.
Endamebiasis kills around 40,000 people yearly worldwide, mostly in areas with contaminated water—it's one of the most common parasitic diseases, yet most people have never heard of it.
