Orphaned references in Amoebiasis

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Amoebiasis's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Sherris":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 12:55, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

These are all formatting variants of references to the same book. However some include page numbers for specific information, one of the problems with citing large reference works. Entamoeba (talk) 13:08, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Proposed merger

The term Entamoebiasis is synonymous with Amoebiasis, and the former article reads more like an entry from Wiktionary than something you would expect here. Enix150 (talk) 18:58, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

I have no problem with them being merged as long as anyone searching for Entamoebiasis or Entamebiasis is automatically forwarded to Amoebiasis. The history is that someone moved everything under Entamebiasis a couple of years back and this was the compromise. Entamoeba (talk) 19:19, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

I have completed the merge. The page Entamebiasis now redirects here. LT90001 (talk) 13:34, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

Changes[1]

• Not sure why this bit was removed "but may not reliably exclude infection"?

• "unless proven to be E. histolytica" implies treatment of E histolytica is always needed. Not supported by the source.
• Amoebiasis is not just E histolytica
