Entamoeba gingivalis is an opportunistic Amoebozoa and is the first amoeba in humans to be described. It is found in the mouth inside the gingival pocket biofilm near the base of the teeth, and in periodontal pockets.

E. gingivalis is a monogenetic parasite. Human beings are their only host, however occasionally the parasite has also been reported from the mouth of dogs, cats, horses and captive monkeys. Only trophozoite stage exists during the life cycle. The size of the trophozoite ranges from 5 to 30 diameters however, the usual size is from 10 to 20 µ.


The single celled trophozoite is differentiated into outer clear ectoplasm and inner granular endoplasm. During non motile condition, ectoplasm is hardly visible but during motile stage it appears as a thick layer comprising about one half of the volume of the actively motile animal.
