Dysentery is a generic term meaning "large volume diarrhea, often with blood and/or mucus in the feces". Dysentery can be caused by amoebas, bacteria, viruses or parasites, and the vector changes depending upon the pathogen causing the illness.
The type of pathogen that causes amoebic dysentery is known as shingellosis. This is also referred to as bacillary dysentery.
Amoebic dysentery is caused by the protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica, not a vector in the traditional sense like insects. The infection is typically transmitted through contaminated water or food, often in areas with poor sanitation. Individuals can also spread the cysts through fecal-oral transmission. Thus, while there is no specific vector, contaminated sources play a crucial role in the transmission of the disease.
