10 to 35 μm
- 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.

Mature Entamoeba histolytica/Entamoeba dispar cysts have 4 nuclei that characteristically have centrally-located karyosomes and fine, uniformly distributed peripheral chromatin. Cysts usually measure 12 to 15 µm.
Precystic (minuta Form): It is smaller, spherical and non- pathogenic stage. Normally, it lives in the lumen of the intestine and rarely found in tissues. It undergoes encystations and helps in transmission of parasites from one host to other. Life cycle:
Entamoeba histolytica occurs in the following forms, the tro-phozoites,precyst,cyst,metacyst,andmetacystictrophozoite. The trophozoite is about 10–60 μm in size with a clear finely granular cytoplasm and a spherical nucleus that shows aggre-gation of chromatin beads at the nuclear membrane and a centrally located karyosome.

Dec 23, 2016 · This amoeba may occur in three different stages inside the intestine of humans (Figs. 2, 3, 4, and 5 ). Life cycle of Entamoeba histolytica. 1 Cysts with 4 nuclei (i.e., metacysts) are ingested orally with contaminated food or drinking water ( a-c ). 2 – 4 After excysting in the small intestine, both the cytoplasm and nuclei divide to form 8 ...

Feb 13, 2017 · Entamoeba histolytica occurs in the following forms, the trophozoites, precyst, cyst, metacyst, and metacystic trophozoite. The trophozoite is about 10–60 μm in size with a clear finely granular cytoplasm and a spherical nucleus that shows aggregation of chromatin beads at the nuclear membrane and a centrally located karyosome.
Feb 9, 2024 · It is the growing and feeding stage of parasite that is the only form which is present in tissues. Shape: It is irregular in shape. Size : ranging from 12-60 µm; average being 20-30 µm (it is large and actively motile in freshly passed stool, while smaller in convalescent and carrier.)
