Having left their natural predators behind, it seems all is perfect for them. But from our diversity comes a new predator for cane toads aka invasive colonic entamoebiasis, from #Entamoeba species CT1. Its not pretty, but a reminder, everything in jungle is food for something. No exceptions.
Infected pt #entamoeba histolytica pass noninfectious trophozoites & infectious cysts
Infection spread when cysts in stool are ingested in contaminated food or water

Traditional teaching is #Entamoeba dispar is not pathogenic. In this cluster of symptomatic MSM in NYC, E dispar was identified by PCR. None of the samples were positive for E histolytica
