Eight nuclei
- The cysts are distinguished by noticing the eight nuclei found in the mature form. To diagnose for E. coli, a stool sample is usually tested. This is the best method to check to see if the parasite is E. coli and not E. histolytica. This usually involves checking the cysts for the size, shape, and the number of nuclei.

Oct 6, 2022 · When the cyst of E.histolytica reaches caecum or lower part of ileum excystation occurs and an amoeba with four nuclei emerges and that divides by binary fission to form eight trophozoites. Trophozoites migrate to the large intestine and lodge into the submucosal tissue.
Mature Entamoeba histolytica/Entamoeba dispar cysts have 4 nuclei that characteristically have centrally-located karyosomes and fine, uniformly distributed peripheral chromatin. Cysts usually measure 12 to 15 µm.
Cysts of Entamoeba hartmanni are similar to those of E. histolytica but smaller, measuring 5–10 µm. Mature cysts contain four nuclei that have a small, discrete, centrally located karyosome and evenly distributed peripheral chromatin.
cysts are spherical and usually measure 12 to 15 µm (range may be 10 to 20 µm). A mature cyst has 4 nuclei while an immature cyst may contain only 1 to 3 nuclei.

Apr 17, 2023 · Entamoeba histolytica is a protozoan that causes intestinal amebiasis as well as extra-intestinal manifestations. Although 90 percent of E. histolytica infections are asymptomatic, nearly 50 million people become symptomatic, with about 100,000 deaths yearly.

Immature cysts typically have a large glycogen vacuole and two nuclei. Mature cysts have eight nuclei, with hypernucleate forms having 16 or more nuclei. The presence of an Entamoeba cyst in human stool with more than four nuclei is pathognomonic for E. coli (Ash and Orihel, 2007).
Cyst Stage: Chromatoidal body 'Cigar' shaped bodies (made up of crystalline ribosomes) Number of nuclei: 1 in early stages, 4 when mature Pathognomonic/diagnostic feature 'Ring and dot' nucleus and chromatoid bodies
