Intestinal Protozoal Diseases - Although all infectious agents of humans are parasites, by convention, parasitic diseases are defined as those caused by protozoa or helminths.The old classification, in which a single phylum of protozoa encompassed all unicellular eukaryotic microorganisms, is no longer valid because of new ultrastructural and molecular taxonomic information. For instance, Giardia lamblia has been shown to lack mitochondria and to contain ribosomal ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequences that resemble bacteria. These protozoa have been proposed to represent an ...

Isosporiasis - Isosporiasis is an uncommon diarrheal illness caused by the protozoan Isospora belli. Humans are the only known hosts for I belli, and there is no known animal reservoir. Isospora has worldwide distribution, although it is more common in tropical and subtropical climates. In 1860, Virchow first described Isospora. In 1915, the first case of human infection with I belli was described. Isospora is related closely to Cryptosporidium, Cyclospora, and ...

Sarcosporidiosis - Sarcosporidiosis (Sarcocystis infection) is caused by an intracellular protozoan parasite that predominantly affects animals. It can rarely be found in human skeletal and cardiac muscle when humans are the intermediate or accidental host. Humans can also serve as the definitive host for this parasite after ingesting the cysts in raw or undercooked beef or pork. After invasion of the GI tract, the infective sporozoites replicate and are subsequently eliminated in the stool. These oocysts are ingested by an ...
