Amebiasis is one of the major neglected tropical diseases. Nearly 50 million people worldwide are infected with the pathogen Entamoeba histolytica, causing largescale morbidity and mortality particularly in developing countries. Unfortunately, there is not much awareness about the disease and the pathogen among clinicians, biomedical scientists, and students. In recent years there have been major advances in our understanding of the parasite and the disease as a result of rapid progress in genomic and other biomedical technologies, such as visualization of molecular processes. In order to increase awareness and understanding, an EMBO Lecture Course was organized March 2–3, 2012,
