Entamoeba gingivalis:- It is the causative agent of Trichomonas. In pyorrhoea it is the infection which increases and makes it more critical.
Entamoeba coli:- It is seen in colon. It works as a commensal in them.
Pelomyxa:- It is known as Chaos-Chaos. It is the multinucleated amoeba. Also it is the largest amoeba.
