Similar findings on amoebiasis are reported from Taiwan, with MSM at increased risk for invasive amoebiasis and intestinal colonisation with E. histolytica.<ref>[http://www.mja.com.au/public/issues/185_08_161006/sta10803_fm.html ''Letter to the editor - Locally acquired infection with Entamoeba histolytica in men who have sex with men in Australia'', Damien J Stark, Rashmi Fotedar, John T Ellis and John L Harkness, MJA 2006; 185 (8): 417]</ref>}}

Sexual behavior such as analingus or fellatio after anal-genital intercourse can lead to infection.<ref>[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2780057/ ''Sexually Transmitted Parasitic Diseases''] by Andrew A.
