description What is already known about this topic? Amebiasis is caused by infection with Entamoeba histolytica. As a severe sequence in amebiasis, amoebic dysentery is tracked by China’s National Notifiable Disease Reporting System. What is added by this report? From 2005 to 2019, a total of 28,229 cases of amoebic dysentery and 7 resulting deaths were reported in China. The annual incidence rate had significantly decreased from 0.26/100,000 in 2006 to 0.06/100,000 in 2019, and most cases were reported from southern China and in children. What are the implications for public health practice? Amoebic dysentery has significantly decreased in China. Continued efforts are expected to further control amoebic dysentery, and southern areas and children should be high priority groups.
