Eukaryotic Pathogens: Algae and ProtozoansWhat types of eukaryotic organisms are pathogenic, and how do they differ from bacteria?
• Algae: dinoflagellates and saxitoxin
• Protozoans
• Classification and special structures
• Pseudopodia, flagella, cilia
• Pellicles, cysts
• Important protozoan pathogens
• Amoebic dysentery
• Balantidiasis (Balantidium dysentary)
• Giardia, Trichomoniasis, Trypanosomiasis
• Malaria, CryptosporidiumEukaryotic pathogens are mostly parasitic and are difficult to target selectively with drugs since their cells are so similar to human cells.

• Cellulose in plasma membrane
• Unicellular
• Algal “blooms” cause “red tides”
• Shellfish ingest dinoflagellates; toxin concentrated through food chain
• Neurotoxin (saxitoxin) causes paralytic shellfish poisoning

• Eukaryotic
• Unicellular
• Chemoheterotrophs
• Vegetative form is a trophozoite
• Some produce cysts, or dormant forms (often the infective agent)
• Some have an outer support layer: pellicle
• Asexual reproduction by fission, budding, or schizogony;
• Sexual reproduction by conjugation

Pathogenic Protozoans
Protozoans can be studied according to their type of locomotion:• Amoebas (sarcodines) move using pseudopodia
• Ciliates (ciliates) move using beds of cilia
• Flagellates (mastigophorans) move using one or more flagella
• Apicomplexans are non-motile, intracellular parasites

Sporozoites undergo schizogony in liver cell; merozoites are produced
Merozoites released into bloodsteam from liver may infect new red blood cells
Merozoites are released when red blood cell ruptures; some merozoites infect new red blood cells, and some develop into male and female gametocytes
