  191. 191What are parabasalia?-mainly host dependent and include parasitic forms
    -found in invertebrates birds and mammals
    -anaerobes, possess hydrogenosomes
  192. 192What are diplomonads?-many are host dependent and include
    -possess hydrogenosomes or mitoses
  193. 193What are euglenozoa?-free living and parasitic forms
    -some possess secondary plastids
    some possess complex mitochondria genomes -kinetoplasts -10 -20% of total DNA present in a cell
  194. 194How does african trypanosomes causes disease?Human african trypanosomiasis by tsetse fly
  195. 195How does trypanosome cruzi cause disease?causes chaga's disease by triatomine bugs
  196. 196How does leishmania species causes disease in humans?disease leishmaniasis by sand fly
  197. 197What is chana's disease?acute stage, typically asymptomatic , , decades of latency, followed by chronic symptoms
  198. 198What is the life cycle of trypanosome cruz?1. triatomine bug takes a blood meal
    2.metacylic trypomastigotes penetrate various cells at bite wound site and transform into amastigotes
    3. amastigotes multiply by binary fission in cells of infected tissues
    4. intracellular amastigotes transform into trypomastigotes then burst out of the cell and enter the blood stream
    5. triatomine bug takes a blood meal
    6.epimastigotes in midgut
    7.multiply in midgut
    8.metcyclic trypomastigotes in handgun
  199. 199How does trypanosome cruz invade host cells?1. attachment to host cell surface receptors
    2. calcium signal recruits lysosomes
    3. fusion of lysosomes with plasma membrane
    4.invasion
    5. secretion of pore-forming protein
    6.lysis of surrounding membrane release of pathogen
  200. 200What are the properties of giardia lamb?worldwide distribution- higher prevalence in developing countries
    most common protozoa found in human stools
    giardiasis -often asymptomatic, acute or chronic diarrhoea
    decal-oral life cycle, extracellular parasite
    has mitosomes
