    Entamoeba histolytica causes amoebiasis (amoebic dysentery), with symptoms including abdominal pain, cramps, and stools with excess mucus and blood clots. Ascaris, an intestinal parasite, causes ascariasis with symptoms like blockage of the intestine, internal bleeding, and anemia. Both Entamoeba histolytica and Ascaris are protozoan parasites transmitted through contaminated food, water, or soil.
