Entamoeba (Life Cycle) (Product Code: SCL482/0208) is a laminated wall chart used to teach the life cycle of Entamoeba, the intestinal amoeba behind amoebic dysentery, in school and college biology classes. Printed on 75 x 100 cm polyart, it helps teachers show how a single-host parasite spreads through cysts in contaminated food and water. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India, as one of its biology teaching aids.

The chart supports a lesson built around the two forms of the parasite. The cyst, with a resistant wall and up to four nuclei when mature, is the infective stage: it survives outside the body and is swallowed with contaminated food or water. In the intestine the cyst wall breaks down and releases amoebae that become active trophozoites, which feed and multiply by binary fission in the large intestine, and in some infections invade the gut wall to cause the ulcers and bloody diarrhoea of amoebic dysentery. Further along the colon, trophozoites round up into new cysts that leave the body in the faeces and repeat the cycle.
Teachers often hang it beside a free-living Amoeba slide or model so students see that close relatives can be harmless or disease-causing. It also anchors a hygiene discussion: boiling or filtering drinking water, washing hands and protecting food from flies all break transmission at the cyst stage.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this Entamoeba life cycle chart. It is produced at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, rather than bought in from a trader, and is supplied factory-direct to schools, colleges, dealers and importers. For reorders or replacement copies of a worn chart, ask the manufacturer directly; the company profile has more about us.

Is Antamoeba the same as Entamoeba?
Yes. The Entamoeba (Life Cycle) chart was previously listed as Antamoeba, a misspelling of the genus name. The organism it teaches is Entamoeba, the intestinal amoeba whose species Entamoeba histolytica causes amoebic dysentery, and the product code SCL482/0208 stays the same.
How does the Entamoeba life cycle differ from that of Plasmodium?
Entamoeba completes its whole life cycle in one host, passing between people as cysts in contaminated food and water, while Plasmodium needs both humans and mosquitoes. The Entamoeba (Life Cycle) chart makes the single-host pattern clear, and our Plasmodium chart shows the contrast.
Why does the cyst stage matter in hygiene lessons?
The cyst survives outside the body, so it is the stage that carries infection through water and food. Teachers use the Entamoeba (Life Cycle) chart to show why safe drinking water, hand washing and covered food interrupt transmission at exactly this point.
What size and material is the Entamoeba (Life Cycle) chart?
The Entamoeba (Life Cycle) chart measures 75 x 100 cm and is made of polyart with a laminated finish, a wall-display format intended for school classrooms and laboratories where the whole class needs to see the diagram at once.
Who manufactures the Entamoeba (Life Cycle) chart?
The Entamoeba (Life Cycle) chart is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Quotations, repeat orders and replacement copies are handled directly by the manufacturer.
Can the chart be ordered with the matching slide, including for export?
Yes. The Entamoeba (Life Cycle) chart and the Entamoeba histolytica slide are listed separately; add both to the enquiry cart for one quotation. ScienceLab supplies schools, dealers and distributors in India and international markets.
Send your enquiry for the Entamoeba (Life Cycle) chart, with the number of copies you need, through the contact page or the enquiry cart. Quotations come direct from the manufacturer.
