Results: The results of epidemiological study showed that the total number infected with Entamoeba Histolytica parasite was (168) positive samples with total percentage of (84%) in both of Al-Kindy Teaching Hospital and Medical City Teaching Hospital with a percentage of (100%,and 68%) respectively, followed by Blastocystis Hominis with total number of (22) positive samples and a percentage of (11%), and then Giardia lamblia with total number of (10) positive samples and a percentage of (5%). Males showed higher number and percentage of infection with E. histolytica, (97) case with percentage of (48.5%), while females were (71) case with percentage of (35.5%), while number and percentage of infection with B. hominis in males were (17) case with percentage of (8.5%), and females were (5) case with percentage of (2.5%), finally number and percentage of infection with G. lamblia in male (5) case with percentage of (2.5%), equal females were (5) case with percentage of (2.5%). The highest percentage of infection occurred among age group (20-29) years with percentage of (36%), while the lowest percentage of infection occurred among age group (1-9) years, and age group (60-69) years with percentage (1%), were detected in Medical City Teaching Hospital.
