Entamoeb

a dispar

morphologically identical to E. histolytica. It must be

separated by isoenzymatic, immunologic or molecular

analyses.

Entamoeb

a

hartmanni

some consider this a separate species.

It differs from E. histolytica by being smaller in size.

Entamoeb

a coli

distinguished from E. histolytica by having an eccentric

endosome, mature cysts with 8 nuclei.

chromatoidal bodies have splintered ends,

rather than rounded as in E. histolytica.

Endolimax

nana

A very small amoeba (6-15um) with a large, eccentric

endosome and thin nuclear envelope.

Mature cysts contain 4 nuclei.

Iodamoeb

a butschlii

both the trophozoite and cyst have one nucleus with a large

endosome. The cyst contains a large glycogen vacuole that

stains darkly with iodine.
