Humans may be infected with three morphologically identical Entamoeba species; pathogenic E. histolytica, commensal E. moshkowskii and E. dispar. The aim of the present study was to determine the true prevalence of the E. histolytica using native lugol, trichrome staining and a monoclonal antigen detection kit (ELISA kit E. histolytica-II; Techlab, Inc., Blacksburg, VA) among primary school children living in the rural areas around Sivas.
