INTRODUCTION Protozoa are unicellular microscopic eukaryotes that have a relatively complex internal structure and carry out complex metabolic activities. Some protozoa have structure for propulsion or other types of movement. The protozoa are considered to be a sub kingdom of the kingdom Protista, although in the classical system they were placed in the kingdom Animalia. More than 65,000 species have been described, most of which are free living organisms. Protozoa are found in almost every possible habitat. Anton van Leeuweenhoek was the first person to see protozoa, using microscopes he constructed with simple lenses. Protozoa are among the most fascinating organisms that can be studied in the laboratory. The Protista Kingdom has 7 groups that are divided into fifteen Phyla, these subdivisions show the wide range of morphology and function that demonstrate the basic properties of living matter. The different phyla are distinguished from one another by such features as structure, means of locomotion, and formation of spores, although the locomotory organelles are the primary distinguishing feature. There are three main locomotory organelles found in the different classes of protozoa, and they are pseudopodia, cilia, and flagella. Protozoa is one of the zoonotic agents and it can be transmitted from animals to humans either directly or indirectly. Indirect transmission means that the agents are passed from

  • The Stem Cell Revolution Revealing Protozoan Parasites' Secrets And
    Review The Stem Cell Revolution Revealing Protozoan Parasites’ Secrets and Paving the Way towards Vaccine Development Alena Pance The Wellcome Sanger Institute, Genome Campus, Hinxton Cambridgeshire CB10 1SA, UK; [email protected] Abstract: Protozoan infections are leading causes of morbidity and mortality in humans and some of the most important neglected diseases in the world. Despite relentless efforts devoted to vaccine and drug development, adequate tools to treat and prevent most of these diseases are still lacking. One of the greatest hurdles is the lack of understanding of host–parasite interactions. This gap in our knowledge comes from the fact that these parasites have complex life cycles, during which they infect a variety of specific cell types that are difficult to access or model in vitro. Even in those cases when host cells are readily available, these are generally terminally differentiated and difficult or impossible to manipulate genetically, which prevents assessing the role of human factors in these diseases. The advent of stem cell technology has opened exciting new possibilities to advance our knowledge in this field. The capacity to culture Embryonic Stem Cells, derive Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells from people and the development of protocols for differentiation into an ever-increasing variety of cell types and organoids, together with advances in genome editing, represent a huge resource to finally crack the mysteries protozoan parasites hold and unveil novel targets for prevention and treatment. Keywords: protozoan parasites; stem cells; induced pluripotent stem cells; organoids; vaccines; treatments Citation: Pance, A. The Stem Cell Revolution Revealing Protozoan 1.

Dr.Shaikh Isakh Maheboob Asso. Prof and Head Dept, of Zoology, DSM college Jintur, Dist-Parbhani. Abstract Parasites show a high degree of reproduce and specialization at a quicker rate than their hosts. The parasitic worms form the most important portion of biodiversity on earth. Fish harbor a diversity of parasites viz. protozoan’s, trematode, cestode and nematode. In the current study, we collected freshwater fishes of species, , Channa marulius, Mastacembels armatus, Channa punctatus, Clarius batrachus from different sites of the Siddheshwar dam of Hingoli district during the all three season i.e. summer season, monsoon season and winter season respectively. During the study time August 2018 to July 202019 we observed high helminthes parasitic infection i.e Senga, , Procamellenus, Circumoncobothrium in the fishes during summer season as compared to the monsoon season and winter season. Keywords: Seasonal study, Freshwater fish, Helminth parasites. Introduction India is one of the large biodiversity countries in the world and occupying ninth rank items of freshwater biodiversity. For the last few decades, fishes have been widely used as food for human consumption in the Indian subcontinent and thus contribute essential role in its economy. In India it is predictable that near about ten million tons of fish are required to meet the yearly demand of fish proteins as compared to as an actual yearly production of just 3.5 million tons. These edible fishes are known to harbour a various helminth parasites which cause deterioration in their health, hence their nutritive and market value is affected.

Amebiasis is responsible for approximately 70,000 deaths annually every year. High prevalence is found especially in endemic area which had poor hygiene and sanitation or crowded population. Human is the main reservoir, while the disease can be transmited by mechanical vector such as cokckroach and flies. Making diagnosis of intestinal amebiasis sometimes can be a problem. Clinical presentation and disease severity may be varied. Complication due to late management of the disease can be fatal. Lifestyle education, early diagnosis
