Asymptomatic carriage of Entamoeba in the large intestine – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/973493353

Entamoeba histolytica can live in the large intestine (colon) without causing damage to the intestines. Other protozoan such as Entamoeba coli, E. hartmanni, E. polecki, Endolimax nana, and Iodamoeba buetschlii are generally considered nonpathogenic and reside in the large intestine of the human host.
