Life Cycle of Trypanosoma gambiense | Parasitic Protozoa

In this article we will discuss about the life cycle of trypanosoma gambiense. Trypanosoma gambiense is digenetic; i.e., it completes its life cycle in two hosts. The primary or definitive host is man. The mammals, like pigs, buffaloes, antelopes often act as reservoir hosts harbouring the parasite. The intermediate host is blood sucking insect called tsetse fly (Glossina palpalis). Life [...]

Classification of Parasitic Protozoa

Parasitic protozoa are classified mainly into four groups. They are: (a) Rhizopoda (Plasmodroma): The organisms of this group move by producing pseudo­podia. They multiply by binary fission and form cysts, as in E. histolytica. (b) Mastigophora: The organisms move by means of flagella, binary fission takes place by longitudinal division e.g., Trypano­soma, Leptomonad etc. (c) Sporozoa: They move by amoeboid [...]
