1. Introduction to Protozoa • 65,000 species • more than 40 are medical Protozoa ---is an unicellular eukaryote animals with whole physiological functions
2. Morphology size--- 2 μm 200μm shape--- round, ellipse, pear like, erose
Morphology Protozoa Cell membrane Matrix Organelle Cytoplasm (Basic structure) Nourishment materials Nucleus
Nucleus (1)The vesicular nucleus round in shape with 1 karyosome, with little of chromatin (2)The compact nucleus 2 or more karyosomes , full of chromatin
3. Life cycle Three types of life cycle 1. Person-to-person transfer (direct or indirect) a single host only ① Trophozoite only: e.g. Trichomonas vaginalis ② Trophozoite --active feeding stage, reproductive stage, pathogenic stage Cyst---resting stage, resistant form, infective stage e.g. E. histolytica
2. Circulating transfer more than one vertebrate with sexual and asexual reproduction e.g. Toxoplasma gondii
3. Arthropod (vector) transfer need insect person to insect and insect to person
4. Physiology 1. Locomotion 2. Reproduction 1)Asexual Reproduction ①Binary fission– resulting in 2 daughter cells ②Multiple fission-- resulting in a number of cells ③Budding
2) Sexual Reproduction ①Conjugation– exchange of nuclear material of 2( ciliates only) ②Gametogony --- ♀♂gametes zygote • Alternation of generations
5. Pathological Characteristics of Protozoa 1. Proliferation 2. Transmission( diffusion and invasion) 3. Opportunistic pathogenicity (immunodeficiency persons)
Classification Generally, according to their locomotion organelles, protozoa can be divided into 4 groups: Amoebae Ciliates Flagellates Sporozoan
Amoebae Ciliates Flagellates Sporozoan
Cell membrane • receptors, enzymes, ligand • strong antigenicity • associating with ingestion, excretion, • locomotion, invasion
Cytoplasm Matrix Ectoplasm gel state with function of protection, locomotion, sensation, etc Endoplasm sol state with granules
Ectoplasm Nucleus Endoplasm
Organelle ①Membranous organelles mitochondria, Golgi body, kinetoplast etc ② Locomotory organelles Pseudopodium Flagellum Cilium ③Intake of food organelles cytostome cytopharynx
Pseudopodium Flagellum Cilium
cytostome cytopharynx cytoproct ( Balantidium coli )
Nourishment materials food vacuole glycongen vacuole
vesicular nucleus nuclear membrane central karyosome chromatin granules
compact nucleus ( Balantidium coli )
Binary fission Multiple fission
Trichomonas Vaginalis Trophozoite
Trophozoite E. histolytica Cyst
Helmith nematode trematode cestode Protozoa
