Entamoeba histolytica is a parasitic amoeba belonging to the phylum Sarcomastigophora, which has an environmentally resistant infectious stage, known as a cyst. In the intestine, cysts undergo excystation, and the intestinal stage, known as a trophozoite, is released and begins to multiply asexually.
Jan 1, 2014 · Entamoeba histolytica has a feeding, replicative trophozoite stage, and a dormant cyst stage morphologically indistinguishable from the non-pathogenic E. dispar and E. moshkovskii. Differentiation may therefore not be made in routine clinical diagnosis, which traditionally relies on bright field microscopy.
Apr 8, 2022 · Next: Pathophysiology. Amebiasis is caused by Entamoeba histolytica (see the image below), a protozoan that is found worldwide (see Etiology).
