Waterborne protozoan pathogens.
Protozoan parasites were the most frequently identified etiologic agents in waterborne disease outbreak from 1991 to 1994. The waterborne parasites Giardia lamblia, Naegleria fowleri, Acanthamoeba spp., Entamoeba histolytica, Cryptosporidium parvum, Cyclospora cayetanesis, Isospora belli, and the microsporidia are reviewed. For each parasite, the review includes history, life cycle, incidence, ...
متن کاملKinetoplastids: related protozoan pathogens, different diseases.
Kinetoplastids are a group of flagellated protozoans that include the species Trypanosoma and Leishmania, which are human pathogens with devastating health and economic effects. The sequencing of the genomes of some of these species has highlighted their genetic relatedness and underlined differences in the diseases that they cause. As we discuss in this Review, steady progress using a combinat...
متن کاملParasite Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases as Drug Discovery Targets to Treat Human Protozoan Pathogens
Protozoan pathogens are a highly diverse group of unicellular organisms, several of which are significant human pathogens. One group of protozoan pathogens includes obligate intracellular parasites such as agents of malaria, leishmaniasis, babesiosis, and toxoplasmosis. The other group includes extracellular pathogens such as agents of giardiasis and amebiasis. An unfortunate unifying theme for...
متن کاملPolyamines in inflammation
esults on page 257 by Soulet and Rivest implicate polyamines in controlling immune responses in the brain. Their results suggest that polyamine synthesis, if left unchecked, can cause damaging inflammatory responses reminiscent of neurodegenerative disorders. Recognition of bacterial and viral pathogens by microglial cells, the brain’s equivalent of macrophages, elicits a cascade of gene expres...
متن کاملPolyamines in intestinal growth.
The total cellular mass of the small intestine is well controlled and can adapt, with hypo- or hyperplasia, to a wide variety of stimuli. Luminal nutrients, hormonal factors and pancreatic and biliary secretions have all been implicated in the regulation of intestinal mucosal growth. The polyamines (putrescine, spermidine and spermine) and the key enzyme controlling their synthesis (ornithine d...
