Protozoa kya hai

The word protozoa comes from the word protos, Greek for "first," and zoia, which meant "animal." It was first coined in the 1800s. Before then, the microscopic protozoa, defined by their organelles, could not be fully appreciated. Protozoan Diseases Common infectious diseases caused by protozoans include: Common protozoan infectious diseases include malaria, giardia, and toxoplasmosis. Less common diseases include African trypanosomiasis and Amoebic dysentery. Each condition affects the body differently. Detecting Infections Unlike other pathogens, cultures do not identify protozoa. However, sometimes you can see them under a microscope inside red blood cells (as in malaria) or in the stool (as in giardia and E. histolytica). Summary Protozoa are single-celled organisms that can sometimes cause diseases. Common protozoan diseases include malaria, giardia, and toxoplasmosis. Diagnosing protozoan illness may involve blood tests, stool tests, or biopsies, depending on which protozoa a healthcare provider suspects. Treatment varies based on the cause. • Capela R, Moreira R, Lopes F. Int J Mol Sci. 2019 Nov;20(22):5748. doi:10.3390/ijms20225748 • Hooshyar H, Rostamkhani P, Arbabi M, Delavari M.
