Veterinary Protozoology Flashcards
Study of protozoa (unicellular organisms) in which all physiological functions are carried out by the organelles of the cell.
PROTOZOOLOGY
6 Morphology of KINGDOM PROTISTA
✓ Diverse collection of eukaryotic organisms
which lack tissue differentiation
✓
Single celled
✓ Move independently
✓ Many are free living, – low host spothers are parasites
✓ Parasitic protozoa – complex life cycles that take place in the cells, bloodstream and tissues of the host
✓ Most are zoonoticecificity
