Entamoeba salpae , E. gadi , and E. molae were described from marine fish species, whereas E. pimelodi , E. ctenopharyngodoni and E. chiangraiensis have been described from freshwater fish. Excluding Entamoeba , most members of Archamoeba are not well studied, probably due to the relatively minor clinical importance and the difficulties ...

Causes: Aeromonas, Pseudomonas, Mycobacterium, and Vibrio. Transmission: The bacteria are commonly found in the water and will invade a wound or skin injury on an otherwise healthy fish. Predisposing factors: Previously damaged skin, poor water conditions, and stress can all lead to an increase in ulcers. Treatment: Antibiotic baths coupled ...
Entamoeba coli, Entamoeba hartmanni, and Endolimax nana, as well as a number of other organisms, may be identified in fecal specimens, but are nonpathogenic. En. histolytica is the most frequent parasitic cause of life-threatening gastrointestinal disease, resulting in an estimated 100,000 deaths per year throughout the world.
