- There is no known cyst stage for Entamoeba gingivalis; trophozoites live in the oral cavity of humans, residing in the gingival pockets near the base of the teeth. They are not considered pathogenic, and feed on bacteria and other debris. Trophozoites are transmitted person-to-person orally by kissing or fomites (such as eating utensils).

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. [23]

Entamoeba coli, E. hartmanni, E. polecki, Endolimax nana, and Iodamoeba buetschlii are generally considered nonpathogenic and reside in the lumen of the large intestine in the human host. Both cysts and trophozoites of these species are passed in stool and are considered diagnostic .
Entamoeba species all come in monogenetic forms, or having one generation lifecycles. E. coli has "three distinct morphological forms exist airing the life cycle-Trophozoite, Pre-cystic stage and Cystic stage". This lifecycle gives rise to the general way of how Entamoeba species form.

Cysts and trophozoites are passed in feces . 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.
To date, no sexual forms of the parasite have been identified. The life cycle of E. histolytica consists of an infectious quadri-nucleate cyst and an invasive trophozoite form. The infectious cyst form is 10 to 16 μm in diameter and contains four, in mature cysts, or fewer nuclei, in immature forms ( Figure 263-1A ).
May 3, 2016 · Nuclei of trophozoites are visible in formalin-fixed material but are usually not sufficiently distinctive for species identification. Chromatoid bodies are more easily seen in unstained wet mounts than in iodine preparations.

Aug 23, 2023 · Excerpt. Entamoeba coli is one of many non-pathogenic protozoa found in humans. It is transmitted through fecal-oral contact, and the mature cyst can be found in contaminated water. Typically, these protozoa inhabit the large intestinal tract and can be identified in diagnostic stool specimens.
