Protozoan Infection Journals

 Protozoan infections are caused by a parasite called a protozoa, which are tiny, one-celled organisms that can live and multiply in the body.  The different types protozoa have evolved to live in different parts of the body and the way you become infected with a protozoa is dependant on where in the body the protozoa lives. Intestinal protozoa infection is through the fecal-oral route whereby food or water that is contaminated is ingested, or there is person-to person contact with an infected person.  For protozoa that live in blood or tissue these protozoa infections can be transmitted to other people by being bitten by infected insects such as mosquitoes and sandflies. Some protozoa inhabit the genital area and can be sexually transmitted by any form of genital touching. All cells have a plasma layer. In a protist, the plasma layer is otherwise called the plasmalemma. Just underneath the plasma layer, and in the inward liquid area, cytoplasm can be found. The pellicle structure in the protist is a slender layer of protein that furnishes the cell with some help and security. Notwithstanding the plasma film, protists contain two unique kinds of vacuoles. Contractile vacuoles help to look after osmoregulation, and phagocytic vacuoles permit select protists to ingest food. In certain protists, flagella as well as cilia might be available to help with motility and supplement consumption. The flagella/cilia make water flows that help with taking care of and breath. Vitality admission is important for protists' endurance. Oxygen consuming chemoorganotrophic protists produce vitality using their mitochondria. The mitochondria then produces vitality for the protist to stay aware of cell life capacities. Photosynthetic protists produce vitality using their mitochondria and chloroplasts. At last, anaerobic chemoorganotrophs produce vitality using hydrogenosomes, which is a film encased organelle that discharges atomic hydrogen (H2)
