The pathogens discussed cause diseases like toxoplasmosis, malaria, cryptosporidiosis, leishmaniasis, amoebiasis, trichomoniasis, and giardiasis. Readers from microbiology will appreciate the special focus on protist cell biology. As demonstrated in several of the chapters, these parasites are characterized by peculiar structures and organelles that cannot be found in mammalian cells ? even though both are eukaryotic. The book employs light and electron microscopy to display the changing morphology in various stages of parasitic development. In turn, the results are supplemented by transcriptome and proteome profiles that help to describe how these changes take place on a molecular level. Both researchers and clinicians from tropical medicine will find essential and practically applicable background information on these increasingly important pathogens. 410 0$aMicrobiology Monographs,$x1862-5584 ;$v35 606 $aParasitology 606 $aVeterinary microbiology 606 $aMicrobiology 606 $aMedical microbiology 606 $aParasitology 606 $aVeterinary Microbiology 606 $aMicrobiology 606 $aMedical Microbiology 615 0$aParasitology. 615 0$aVeterinary microbiology. 615 0$aMicrobiology. 615 0$aMedical microbiology. 615 14$aParasitology. 615 24$aVeterinary Microbiology. 615 24$aMicrobiology. 615 24$aMedical Microbiology. 676 $a616.96 676 $a616.96 702 $aSouza$b Wanderley de 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910522570403321 996 $aLifecycles of Pathogenic Protists in Humans$92596915 997 $aUNINA
