Human Intestinal Protozoa in Amazonas

Cell death and human intestinal protozoa: a brief overview.

Protozoan programmed cell death or apoptosis is an important factor in the survival of the parasite and its pathogenicity. The most amazing aspect of protozoan cell death is in its molecular architecture. To date, protozoa lack most of the components of the highly complex cell death machinery studied in multicellular organisms. Hence the unique apoptotic machinery in protozoa can be exploited f...

Detection of intestinal protozoa in the clinical laboratory.

Despite recent advances in diagnostic technology, microscopic examination of stool specimens remains central to the diagnosis of most pathogenic intestinal protozoa. Microscopy is, however, labor-intensive and requires a skilled technologist. New, highly sensitive diagnostic methods have been developed for protozoa endemic to developed countries, including Giardia lamblia (syn. G. intestinalis/...
