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 · Precyst. It is the intermediate stage that exist between trophozoite and cyst. It is smaller in size; 10-20µ. It is slightly ovoid and round with blunt pseudopodium projecting from periphery. No food material or RBC are found on its endoplasm.
Pathogenic Entamoeba species must be differentiated from other intestinal protozoa such as the nonpathogenic amebae (Entamoeba coli, E. hartmanni, E. gingivalis, Endolimax nana, Iodamoeba buetschlii) and the flagellate Dientamoeba fragilis. Morphologic differentiation among these is possible, but potentially complicated, based on morphologic ...
Oct 6, 2022 · Entamoeba histolytica is an enteric protozoan parasite with worldwide distribution. It is responsible for amoebic dysentery (bloody diarrhea) and invasive extraintestinal amebiasis (such as liver abscess, peritonitis, and pleuropulmonary abscess). Other species of Entamoeba; Entamoeba hartmanii, Entamoeba coli, and Entamoeba dispar do not cause ...
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 ...
Nov 22, 2023 · 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.
