24
Q

Only has trophozoite and no cyst
- Inhabits the oral cavity
- Associated with gum infections

A

Entamoeba gingivalis

25
(intestinal parasite of pigs and monkeys)
Entamoeba polecki
26
morphologically similar to E.histolytica but DNA and RNA content is different
Entamoeba dispar
27
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.
Entamoeba hartmanni
28
hyaline-foot like extrusions from ectoplasm called
pseudopodia
