Immunology and Molecular Biology of Protozoan Infections
The protozoan parasites, which cause important diseases affecting million of people worldwide especially in the tropical and subtropical areas, are responsible for high mortality and morbidity. Most of these parasites are transmitted by insect vectors and invade a range of different tissues in their mammalian hosts. Prophylactic and therapeutic strategies are far from satisfactory. Indeed, alth...
متن کاملBiology of Select Zoonotic Protozoan Infections of Domestic Animals
In this overview, the basic biology of select protozoan parasites of veterinary importance was covered. These include the Apicomplexans, Eimeria, Theileria, Cryptosporidium, and the Flagellates Giardia and African trypanosomes. Available information was synthesized into a relatively simple information guide of potential interest to a wide reading audience. Where appropriate, references are made...
متن کاملMolecular Biology Can Change the Classic Laboratory Approach for Intestinal Protozoan Infections
For many years microscopy has been considered the mainstay of the diagnosis of parasitic infections. In our laboratory, before the advent of molecular biology, the approach for the identification of parasitic infections in stools was the microscopic exam of three samples. Once we adopted molecular biology, a real-time PCR on one single sample was added to the classical coproparasitological exam...
