Amoebiasis
Amoebiasis is a protozoan disease caused by Entamoeba histolytica, which secretes enzymes that dissolve the host's tissues. Amoebiasis infection is spread by contact with feces, which can occur if water or food are contaminated, or if someone has oral contact with fecal matter. This condition can occur without symptoms, but some of the common signs and symptoms of amoebiasis include bloody diarrhea and inflammation of the colon.

As it is mentioned Amoebiasis is causes by Entamoeba histolytica which is actually a pathogenic(disease causing) microorganism.
It attacks the body tissues by secreting digestive enzymes that dissolve the host tissue which means that the host's tissue are actually food for it.
Next the way by which infection is spread is explained. The infection spreads to other host's by intake of contaminated food and water or by contact with the fecal matter of the infected person.
The disease in its initial stage stage is usually without symptoms. But some of the common symptoms are bloody diarrhea( watery stools with blood) , and inflammation of the colon( large intestine). This happens because the parasite actually resides in the large intestine of humans.
