- Cysts are typically found in formed stool, whereas trophozoites are typically found in diarrheal stool. Colonization of the nonpathogenic amebae occurs after ingestion of mature cysts in fecally-contaminated food, water, or fomites. Excystation occurs in the small intestine and trophozoites are released, which migrate to the large intestine.

What is the difference between cysts and trophozoites?
Cysts are typically found in formed stool, whereas trophozoites are typically found in diarrheal stool. Infection with Entamoeba histolytica (and E.dispar ) occurs via ingestion of mature cysts from fecally contaminated food, water, or hands.
Cyst. The motile trophozoites feed on bacteria and tissue, reproduce, colonize the lumen and the mucosa of the large intestine, and sometimes invade tissues and organs. Trophozoites predominate in liquid stools but rapidly die outside the body and, if ingested, would be killed by gastric acids.
Feb 16, 2024 · Stool examination (see the images below) for trophozoites or cysts is the traditional method for diagnosing giardiasis. At least three stools taken at 2-day intervals should be examined for ova and...
Ingested cysts of E histolytica excyst in the small intestine (Figs 79-1 and 79-2). Trophozoites are carried to the colon, where they mature and reproduce. The parasite may lead a commensal existence on the mucosal surface and in the crypts of the colon.
May 4, 2022 · Most infections caused by E. histolytica are cyst passer and asymptomatic (carrier), but in some cases, the trophozoites invade the intestinal mucosa and cause cramping, abdominal pain, dysentery, and ulcers that may threaten the patients’ lives.
