Hello. I have gone through your question and understood your query. Entamoeba histologic is also known as meiosis. It is an infection acquired through food or water. It can be easily treated by oral medicines. Infection can be prevented by avoiding feeding bottles or proper sterilization of feeding bottles. handwashing with soap before preparing feed or prior to feeding baby. Also use phenol contains disinfectant for floor. Person feeding child should be screened for amoeba histologic as well.
