Protozoan Infections

1996
Abstract The bone marrow may be involved in several protozoan infections of man, including toxoplasmosis, visceral leishmaniasis, and malaria. Pneumocystis carinii, an organism of uncertain classification, has historically been classified with the protozoa and will also be considered in this group.

Protozoan Infections of the Gastrointestinal Tract

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2012
The review provides current views on human protozoan parasites of the gut. The recognition of the importance of cryptosporidium, cyclospora and microsporidia over the last three decades emphasises the possibility that more pathogenic intestinal protozoa are presently unrecognized.

[Parasitic infections in pregnancy and congenital protozoan infections. Part I.: Protozoan infections].

Zeitschrift fur Geburtshilfe und Neonatologie, 1999
Intestinal protozoan disease diagnosed in pregnancy is mostly controlled by symptomatic treatment. Specific therapy can be delayed until after delivery. Only severe cases, i.e. continued diarrhea leading to malnutrition of either mother or fetus, require an immediate specific drug therapy, which might be harmful to the fetus due to toxic and ...

Treatment of intestinal protozoan infections in children

Archives of Disease in Childhood, 2009
Intestinal protozoan infections are a worldwide problem in both industrialised and unindustrialised countries; in the latter they may be the cause of significant morbidity and mortality. Children, in particular, are more likely to experience considerable morbidity.

Intestinal Protozoan Infection in a Semicommunal Group

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1983
A survey was conducted to determine the prevalence of protozoan parasites in a large semicommunal group in Los Angeles. Protozoan parasites were observed in 151 (69%) of the 220 group members in the study. Parasites were observed in stool specimens from 105 (76%) of the 138 children and 46 (56%) of the 82 adults.

Targeting caspases in intracellular protozoan infections

Immunopharmacology and Immunotoxicology, 2009
Caspases are cysteine aspartases acting either as initiators (caspases 8, 9, and 10) or executioners (caspases 3, 6, and 7) to induce programmed cell death by apoptosis. Parasite infections by certain intracellular protozoans increase host cell life span by targeting caspase activation.

Human Waterborne Trematode and Protozoan Infections

2007
Waterborne trematode and protozoan infections inflict considerable morbidity on healthy, i.e., immunocompetent people, and may cause life-threatening diseases among immunocompromised and immunosuppressed populations. These infections are common, easily transmissible, and maintain a worldwide distribution, although waterborne trematode infections remain

Protozoan Parasitic Infection

Poultry has protozoa that are classified into multiple taxonomic groupings. In poultry, two types of parasites are significant: the coccidia and the mastiogophora (flagellates). Some parasites, which cause coccidiosis, have short, direct life cycles and are therefore preferred, while other parasites that involve intermediate hosts typically do not pose

The role of interferons in parasitic protozoan infection

Parasitology Today, 1986
Interferons are well-known for their role as a first line defence against viral attack, but they also modulate the host immune system in responses to protozoan infections. In this article, John Kelly explains what interferons are, and discusses their potential role against parasitic infection.

Therapy and Prophylaxis of Systemic Protozoan Infections

Drugs, 1990
This article summarises current therapy and prophylaxis for Pneumocystis carinii, Toxoplasma gondii, Leishmania species, African trypanosomes (Trypanosoma brucei gambiense and T. b. rhodesiense), and American trypanosome (Trypanosoma cruzi) infections. Each agent and the disease it causes is briefly reviewed, and current data on the structure, mode of ...
