| Answer: Amoebae are often picked up
and transported by birds, e.g. ducks and other animals that move
from pond to pond. Amoebae need only a small volume of water
to be transported and so, simply touching the water may result
in some amoebae being transferred. Some species will live in
an animal's gut after contaminated water has been drunk. These
will be passed out of the gut on defaecation into other water
areas where they will establish new colonies. Some of these forms
cause the disease Amoebic dysentery in humans. |
