pathogenic; anatomically
indistinguishable from E. histolytica.

population can be infected in different parts of the

Entamoeba gingivalis
Habitat: Mouth
Hosts: Humans, other primates,
dogs and cats.
Prevalence is from 50 to 95%.
Stage: Trophozoite, no cyst.
Entamoeba gingivalis
Trophozoite lives on the surface of teeth and gums.
Feed on epithelial cells of the mouth, bacteria, food
debris, and other cells available to them.

Organisms are more common in persons with
pyorrhea (gum disease) but they are not the cause of
the condition.

• Also occurs in monkeys.
Trophozoites are tiny
6-15 μm in diameter.
Large glycogen
vacuoles are often
present.

• Has a very high prevalence in pigs; 50%
of pigs are infected with this ameba in
France and Egypt; pigs are probably its
normal host.

Dientamoeba fragilis
Trophozoite
No Cyst
Nucleus
Dientamoeba fragilis
• LIFE CYCLE - it does not form cysts
and trophozoites cannot survive passage
through the small intestine.

• Humans probably get infected by this
endocommensal when they ingest
pinworm eggs!
Trophozoites small

binucleated.
