Wily parasite kills human cells and wears their remains as disguise

1. Our animal shelters are usually on the ball with re: to this parasite and dogs brought in from Mexico & elsewhere

in areas where the organism infests contaminated water and some food. That said, there are apparently some issues with private fosters not getting these dogs treated sufficiently quickly so as not to pose risks to others, including humans--from contaminated fecal transmission. That said, the early stages (trophozoites) are readily cleared with drugs like metronidazole. But that is if they are treated early at the diarrheal stage. That said, the complications discussed in the article are relatively rare--in both humans and animals, but serious.
