What is the difference between trophozoites and cysts in Entamoeba histolytica?
Infection with Entamoeba histolytica (and E.dispar) occurs via ingestion of mature cysts from fecally contaminated food, water, or hands. Exposure to infectious cysts and trophozoites in fecal matter during sexual contact may also occur.
Nov 29, 2013 · Entamoeba histolytica must be differentiated from other intestinal protozoa including: E. coli, E. hartmanni, E. gingivalis, Endolimax nana, and Iodamoeba buetschlii (the nonpathogenic amebae); Dientamoeba fragilis (which is a flagellate not an ameba); and the possibly pathogenic Entamoeba polecki. Differentiation is possible, but not always ...

Nov 22, 2023 · INTRODUCTION. Intestinal amebiasis is caused by the protozoan Entamoeba histolytica. There are four species of intestinal amebae with identical morphologic characteristics: E. histolytica, E. dispar, E. moshkovskii, and E. bangladeshi [ 1,2 ]. Most symptomatic disease is caused by E. histolytica; E. dispar is generally considered nonpathogenic.
Nov 12, 2020 · 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.
