Aug 23, 2023 · Testing via microscopy will show the presence of protozoa; however, it is essential to differentiate between Entamoeba coli and the pathogenic amoeba, Entamoeba histolytica. Stool examination via ova and parasite testing is the most common form of analysis and evaluation.

The dormant (non-feeding) stage of Entamoeba coli is mostly present in semi-formed, formed. Both of them (cyst and trophozoite) can be detected in soft fecal specimens. The trophozoite is characterized by sluggish motility, single nucleus and eccentric endosome.

E. coli trophozoites can be distinguished by their wide and tapered pseudopodia. They are often mistaken for E. histolytica due to their overlap in size. 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.
Trophozoites of E. coli measure 15–50 μm and have a single nucleus with irregular peripheral chromatin and a usually eccentric karyosome. The cytoplasm is often described as “dirty” and may contain vacuoles and ingested food particles, including bacteria, yeast, and even other intestinal protozoa. Cysts are 10–35 μm in diameter.
Aug 17, 2018 · The infectious cycle of Entamoeba begins with the ingestion of the cyst, which undergoes excystation in the small intestine to produce the invasive trophozoite form. Trophozoites invade tissue and cause disease symptoms of colitis and liver abscess.

Feb 13, 2017 · In fresh-stool examined under the microscope, the trophozoite moves actively by a finger-like protrusion of the ectoplasm “pseudopodium,” into which the cytoplasm is pulled moving the whole body of the organism in its direction.
Molecular methods are currently recommended for distinguishing pathogenic Entamoeba species. Microscopic Detection. Microscopic identification of cysts and trophozoites in the stool is the common method for diagnosing pathogenic Entamoeba species. This can be accomplished using:
