Abstract

Amoebiasis is a widespread disease with the diffusion of the parasite
varying more with hygienic than geopraphic conditions. The incidence
varies from country to country. Soysa (1971) has estimated that ten per cent of the world-population suffers from amoebiasis. Udani et al. (1971) said that "it will not he an exaggaration to state that everyhody in a developing country either had, has or will have amoebic infection". In
Indonesia, the incidence varies according to environmental, socia-economic, hygienic and sanitary conditions (Pudjiadi, 1971).
