Entamoeba polecki is a single-celled parasite that is found in intestines, mainly in pigs and monkeys.[1] Other animals that it can be found in are cattle, goats, sheep, dogs, and humans.[2] The way humans get infected is by swallowing the parasite.[3] The parasite is sometimes confused with Entamoeba histolytica.[4] The parasite was discovered in 1912 in Czechoslovakia by Von Prowazek.[5]
