Caption:
This illustration presents a comparative montage highlighting morphologic differences among three parasitic amoebae. On the left are trophozoite stages, and on the right are the corresponding cyst stages, with enlarged views of nuclei included for each. From top to bottom: Entamoeba histolytica (trophozoite, nucleus, and cyst), E. coli (trophozoite, nucleus, and cyst), and E. gingivalis (trophozoite and nucleus only). Note that E. gingivalis does not have a cyst stage.
