Protozoan Infection Journals

Protozoan infections are responsible for diseases that affect several unusual types of organisms, including animals, plants and some marine life. Most common and deadly human diseases are caused by a protozoan infection, including African sleeping sickness, amoebic dysentery, and malaria. Common symptoms, seen one to three weeks after exposure, include nausea, stomach cramps, diarrhea, gas, greasy stool (because fat absorption is being blocked), and possible dehydration. The parasite does not cause systemic infection but remains in the colon. It can be spread through ingestion of cysts (the dormant life stage), sexual transmission, or through insect vectors. Protozoan GI infections are commonly transmitted through contaminated food or water, triggering vomiting and diarrhea that can lead to dehydration. Rehydration therapy is a significant aspect of treatment, but most protozoan GI infections can also be treated with drugs that target protozoans.
