Presentation transcript:

Protozoa Polyphyletic group of unicellular heterotrophic eukaryotes; not a single Kingdom. Protista is used in the five kingdom scheme and includes unicellular algae types. Ecologically these are saprotrophic, predatory, or parasitic (some mixotrophs) Traditional taxonomy; 7 phyla; based on intracellular structure, life cycle, and motility. Phylogeny by 18SrRNA gene sequence analysis; more phyla.

“Archeozoan” Flagellates (The lack mitochondria suggests they may have evolved prior to endosymbiotic events.) Parablastilids e.g. Trichonympha spp in termite hindgut

Diplomonads Oxymonads: Include some anaerobic flagellates with spirochete symbionts.

Microspora No mitochondria. All obligate intracellular parasites of animals (ca 1000 spp known). complex tri-laminar spore coat with long filament and small spore. Microsporidiosis in humans. Nosema bombycis is an silkworm parasite; infect endothelial cells of intestine.

Kinetoplastic Flagellates Trypanosoma spp. are hemoflagellates, transmitted by insect bites; insects are host: Tsetse fly an African sleeping sickness (T. brucei gambiense); Chagas’ disease by “kissing bug” causes legions (T. cruzi).

Euglenids (mixotrophic)

Sarcodina “Amoebae” Some naked; some with hard test of calcium carbonate; silicon; or chitin. Many predators; some parasitic. Entamoebae histolytica is the cause of amoebic dysentery.

Apicomplexa (“sporozoan”) Possess a spore forming stage of life cycle; parasitic. Cryptosporidiasis. Toxoplasmosis caused by Toxoplasma gondii is transmitted by cats; may cause fetal death or blindness in immunocompromised. Malaria is caused by Plasmodium vivax.

Ciliates Predators of bacteria Sexual reproduction by conjugation; micronucleus transfer. Very diverse morphology; some are colonial; free and attached forms.
