==Overview==
==History and Symptoms==
Entamoeba coli, E. hartmanni, E. polecki, Endolimax nana, and Iodamoeba buetschlii are generally considered nonpathogenic, although they have been found in the stool of patients presenting with diarrhea where no known pathogens were identified.  Their presence in stool can be an indicator of fecal contamination of a food or water source, and does not rule-out the presence of other parasites.  Entamoeba gingivalis is also considered nonpathogenic, but is found in about 95% of patients with gum disease and about 50% of patients with healthy gums.
