Given below are two statements.

Statement I : Entamoeba histolytica is a bacterium which causes amoebiasis.

Statement II : Entamoeba histolytica completes its life cycle in man and housefly.

In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Both statement I and statement II are incorrect.

Statement I is false. Entamoeba histolytica is not a bacterium; it is a protozoan parasite that causes amoebiasis, a disease characterised by gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fever.

Statement II is also false.Entamoeba histolytica does not complete its life cycle in humans and houseflies. The life cycle of Entamoeba histolytica involves two main stages: the cyst stage, which is the infective form excreted in feces, and the trophozoite stage, which is the active form in the intestine causing infection. While humans serve as the primary host for Entamoeba histolytica, the parasite does not complete its life cycle in houseflies. Houseflies can serve as mechanical vectors for the transmission of Entamoeba histolytica cysts, but they do not play a role in the completion of its life cycle.
