Table 1: Protozoans Spp. "CYSTS" Size Number OF Nuclei Karyosome Peripheral Chromatin Cytoplas M and Inclusion

1. The document provides information on 10 protozoan species including their size, number of nuclei, karyosome features, cytoplasmic inclusions, and pathogenicity. 2. It describes morphological characteristics like size, motility, nuclear features, and cytoplasmic contents that can be used to identify different protozoan species under the microscope. 3. Certain species like Entamoeba histolytica and Naegleria fowleri are identified as pathogenic parasites while others such as Entamoeba hartmanii are typically non-pathogenic.
