Here is a list of seven major protozoan diseases: 1. Toxoplasma Gondii 2. Plasmodium 3. Balantidium Coli 4. Trichomonas Vaginalis 5. Giardia Lamblia 6. Trypanosoma 7. Entamoeba Histolytica. Protozoan Disease # 1. Toxoplasma Gondii: Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular parasitic sporozoan (Fig. 24.1). It causes a disease known as toxoplasmosis when transmitted either from soil or other animals (e.g. domestic [...]
In this article we will discuss about the life cycle of plasmodium vivax. Malaria is associated with a mosquito vector, Anopheles. The life cycle of Plasmodium is very complex. The mosquito carries the inocula of P. vivax where it multiplies and produces the sporozoites. After mosquito bite, the sporozoites present in sahva are dehvered in the blood of human. Thirty [...]
In this article we will discuss about the role of cellular biology in eukaryotic interaction. By 1980s it became clear that bacterial infection may result in human death. Development of antibiotic resistance in bacteria continued resulting in the emergence of new bacterial diseases. In 1940s, Staphylococcus aureus was discovered as penicillin-resistant commensal bacterium. Now this bacterium is resistant to all [...]
