Abstract
The study aimed to detect the presence of Entamoeba histolytica in organic fertilizer and liquid supplements from selected farms in Luzon. A total of thirty (30) samples, composed of fifteen (15) organic fertilizer and fifteen (15) liquid supplements were collected and subjected to conventional (Microscopy) and molecular (Polymerase chain reaction). In addition, assessment of the laboratory technique used was also done. However, both laboratory test methods did not yield any positive results for Entamoeba histolytica in all of the samples.
