This has been attributed to a multitude of ...
Life cycle of Entamoeba histolytica.1 Cysts with four nuclei (i.e. metacysts) are ingested orally with contaminated food or drinking water (A–C).2–4 After excysting in the small intestine, both the cytoplasm and nuclei divide to form eight small amebulae (i.e. metacystic trophozoites).5, 6 Mature trophozoites (i.e. minuta forms) reproduce by constant binary fission.
This condition is characterized by severe dysentery, generally without fever. Ingestion of Entamoeba histolytica usually is a result of fecal-contaminated food, water, or hands. The infective stage of the entamoebia histolytica is the cyst that must be swallowed for the life cycle to begin. Passage of the cysts occurs in the small intestine ...
