Caption:
This illustration presents a comparative montage highlighting morphologic differences among three parasitic amoebae. On the left are trophozoite (motile) stages, and on the right are the corresponding cyst stages, with enlarged views of nuclei included. From top to bottom: Iodamoeba bütschlii (buetschlii) (trophozoite, nucleus, and cyst), Endolimax nana (trophozoite, nucleus, and cyst), and Dientamoeba fragilis (trophozoite and nucleus only). Note that D. fragilis does not have a cyst stage.
