Description for Structures and Organelles in Pathogenic Protists
Hardback. Parasitic protozoa, including agents of human and veterinary disease, have special cytoplasmic structures and organelles. This work examines cytoskeletal structures such as the trichomonads' mastigont system and sub-pellicular microtubules in trypanosomatids. Series: Microbiology Monographs. Num Pages: 324 pages, 59 black & white illustrations, 19 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PSG. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 23. Weight in Grams: 728.
Parasitic protozoa, including some which are agents of human and veterinary diseases, display special cytoplasmic structures and organelles. Metabolic pathways have been discovered in these organelles which open up new possibilities for drug targets. This work presents reviews dealing with cytoskeletal structures such as the mastigont system found in trichomonads, the sub-pellicular microtubules in trypanosomatids and the paraflagellar rod. Further chapters cover structures involved in the synthesis, secretion and uptake of molecules, including the flagellar pocket of trypanosomatids, the reservosome of Trypanosoma and the megasome found in Leishmania, the traffic of vesicles in Entamoeba histolytica, secretory organelles and the secretory ...
