An amebicide (or amoebicide) is an agent used in the treatment of amoebozoa infections.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dorlands Medical Dictionary:amebicide )〕 Among these agents are the following, linked to the infections they are used to treat: Although ''Naegleria'' is sometimes considered amoeboid, it is not closely related to the Amoebozoa (it is much more closely related to ''Trypanosoma''), and agents used to treat ''Naegleria'' infections (such as Amphotericin B) are usually addressed separately. ==Entamoeba== * Metronidazole, or a related drug such as Tinidazole, Secnidazole or Ornidazole, is used to destroy amoebae that have invaded tissue. * Several drugs are available for treating intestinal infections, the most effective of which has been shown to be Paromomycin (also known as Humatin). ''E. histolytica'' infections occur in both the intestine and (in people with symptoms) in tissue of the intestine and/or liver. As a result, both tissue and luminal drugs are needed to treat the infection, one for each location. Metronidazole is usually given first, followed by Paromomycin or Diloxanide. ''E. dispar'' does not require treatment, but many laboratories (even in the developed world) do not have the facilities to distinguish this from ''E. histolytica''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Amebicide」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
