Food contaminating vectors such as flies and cockroaches transmit the disease by going to foods that are left unattended. For example, Flies might have landed on garbage, feces, and rotting matter. They can then contaminate the food by transferring the microbes.  The 6 jointed legs of a housefly can transfer germs from one surface to another. In addition, the fly itself can be a threat to food safety. Ingestion of faecally contaminated food containing amoebic cysts can lead to Amoebiasis.
