Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba dispar are morphologically identical species. In bright-field microscopy, E. histolytica/E. dispar 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.

Life cycle of Entamoeba histolytica. 1 Cysts with 4 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 8 small amoebulae (i.e., metacystic trophozoites).
Aug 23, 2023 · Entamoeba coli is one of many non-pathogenic protozoa found in humans. [1] . It is transmitted through fecal-oral contact, and the mature cyst can be found in contaminated water. [2] . Typically, these protozoa inhabit the large intestinal tract and can be identified in diagnostic stool specimens. [3] .
