Praveen Kumar

Entamoeba histolytica represent one of the leading causes of parasitic diseases. Invasive Amoebiasis caused by
Entamoeba histolytica is a global health problem. In the present study a survey was carried out from urban and rural
population of Meerut District. For this present study the samples of stool were collected. The collected stool specimens
were examined microscopically for the presence of eggs, cysts and trophozoites of intestinal parasites, using direct
saline smear and concentration method for the confirmation of parasitic positive patients. The persons having any
cysts/ova/trophozoites/whole parasite were treated as parasitic positive. Parasitic positive patients were subjected for
hematological and biochemical examination. T-Square test was applied for analyzing the data. This study would also
helpful in the designing antiparasitic agents in the terms of malnourished patients with single of concurrent infections
and fulfilling the national needs and human health hazards which are the most urgent and serious problem to tackled
at the present-day conditions.
