- The pre-cyst form begins when the trophozoite starts to slightly change its shape, becoming more spherical and containing two nuclei. The cyst is typically 10 to 35 μm in diameter and is a colorless spherical shape.

Aug 23, 2023 · Entamoeba coli, similar to other Entamoeba specifies, has three distinct morphological forms: trophozoite, pre-cystic stage, and cystic stage. The trophozoite form, which measures 20 to 25 μm, is minimally mobile. The core of the trophozoite is slightly oval in shape with a nucleus surrounded by a thick membrane.

Introduction. Entamoeba histolytica is a unicellular, protozoon parasite of humans. It moves by a jelly-like tongue-like protrusion of the cytoplasm “pseudopodium. Infection with E. histolytica may. ” be the cause of a variety of symptoms, beginning from no symptoms to severe fulminating intestinal and/or life-threatening extraintestinal disease.

May 8, 2012 · Here we present for the first time the identification of 417 proteins (representing ∼5.1% of all 8201 predicted proteins) in the purified cyst samples. Out of the 417 proteins identified, 195 have never been detected in the E. histolytica trophozoite specific proteome or EST databases.

E. histolytica has 2 main stages during its life cycle: the trophozoite and the cyst stage. The infectious agent is the cyst and is transmitted through the oral–fecal route via contaminated food or water. Animal models are not available for this stage interconversion, which is essential for disease propagation and pathogenesis. Excystation
