(intestinal parasite of pigs and monkeys)

A

Entamoeba polecki

26
Q

morphologically similar to E.histolytica but
DNA and RNA content is different

A

Entamoeba dispar

27
Q

also similar to E.histolytica but is smaller
in cysts (5-10 um) and is quadrinucleated, also has coarse cytoplasm
and chromatoidal bars are thin/bar like and with tapered ends/blunt.
Trophozoites can also have either a central or eccentric karyosome but
has a fine peripheral chromatin, has non progressive motility.

A

Entamoeba hartmanni
