Question

Amoebiasis is transmitted by
A. Direct contact with dirty hands
B. Sexual contact
C. Faecal contamination of drinking water and food
D. All of these

Answer 1

Hint:
A person contracts amebiasis by putting anything in their mouth that has come into contact with contaminated faeces, as well as by consuming tainted food, water, or both. Additionally, it can be transmitted sexually through oral-anal contact.
Only 10% to 20% of those who contact E. histolytica get sick as a result of the infection. The signs can include loose stools, stomach aches, and cramping, but they are frequently relatively minor. A severe form of amebiasis called amebic dysentery is characterised by fever, bloody stools (poop), and stomach pain. E. histolytica is often diagnosed by microscopic examination of cysts and trophozoites in the faeces.

Complete answer:
A person contacts amebiasis by putting anything in their mouth that has come into contact with contaminated faeces, as well as by consuming tainted food, water, or both. Additionally, it can be transmitted sexually through oral-anal contact. Amebiasis is contracted when a person consumes contaminated food or water that contains the parasite's cyst stage. Additionally, it can be passed from person to person or sexually via oral-anal contact.
The parasites can then be transferred from contaminated hands to surfaces that may be handled by others as well as food that may be consumed by others.

Option ‘D’ is correct

Note:
Amoebiasis is typically spread through faecal-oral contact, although it can also spread inadvertently through contact with unclean hands or items or through anal-oral contact. Ingestion of the parasite's cyst form, a resilient and semi-dormant structure seen in faeces, transmits the infection.
Entamoeba histolytica is a parasite that causes the condition known as amebiasis. Anyone can get it, but those who live in tropical places with inadequate sanitation tend to get it more frequently.
