    Abstract Trypanosoma cruzi is a pathogenic protozoan of the Trypanosomatidade Family, which is the etiological agent of Chagas' disease. Chagas' disease stands out for being endemic among countries in Latin America, affecting about 15 million people. Recently, Chagas has become remarkable in European countries as well due to cases of transmission via infected blood transfusion. An important factor that has exacerbated the epidemiological picture in Brazil, Colombia and Venezuela is infection after the oral intake of contaminated foods such as sugar cane, açai and bacaba juices. Trypanosoma cruzi is an intracellular protozoan that exhibits a complex life cycle, involving multiple developmental stages found in both vertebrate and invertebrate hosts. In vertebrate hosts, the trypomastigote form invades a large variety of nucleated cells using multiple mechanisms.-

    The invasion process involves several steps: (a) attraction of the protozoan to interact with the host cell surface; (b) parasite-host cell recognition; (c) adhesion of the parasite to the host cell surface; (d) cell signalling events that culminate in the internalization of the parasite through endocytic processes; (e) biogenesis of a large vacuole where the parasite is initially located, and is also known as parasitophorous vacuole (PV); (f) participation of endocytic pathway components in the internalization process; (g) participation of cytoskeleton components in the internalization process; (h) transformation of the trypomastigote into the amastigote form within the PV; (i) lysis of the membrane of the PV; (j) multiplication of amastigotes within the host cell in direct contact with cell structures and organelles; (k) transformation of amastigotes into trypomastigotes, and (l) rupture of the host cell releasing trypomastigotes into the extracellular space.-

    The kinetics of the interaction process and even the fate of the parasite within the cell vary according to the nature of the host cell and its state of immunological activation

    Abstract Trichomonas vaginalis is an extracellular flagellate protozoan and the etiological agent of human trichomoniasis, a sexually transmitted infection (STI) with a high incidence. Several reports have shown that this protozoan releases microvesicles into the culture medium, which show high potential in modulating cell-to-cell communication and the host response to infections. However, the biogenesis of these vesicles has not been analyzed in detail. In the present study, high-resolution ion scanning microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to analyze the surface of control cells and cells incubated in the presence of Ca

    Abstract A infecção por Toxoplasma gondii é hoje muito disseminada ao redor do mundo, especialmente no Brasil. A coletânea parte da história da descoberta desse parasita e da doença por ele causada, a toxoplasmose, e visita os diferentes aspectos relacionados ao tema. São apresentados o ciclo evolutivo, a epidemiologia, o diagnóstico, o quadro clínico e o tratamento, em uma ampla revisão sobre o assunto, provavelmente a mais completa já realizada. Somente nos anos 1970 desvendou-se o ciclo de vida desse protozoário, do qual o gato é hospedeiro definitivo. Outros animais de sangue quente, entre eles o ser humano, são hospedeiros intermediários. Muitos indivíduos infectados pelo T. gondii não apresentam sintomas, mas, quando a doença se manifesta, pode ter diferentes configurações, afetando gânglios, olhos, coração, pulmões, fígado, cérebro e meninges, ou articulações. Além de uma completa revisão, a obra também traz para o leitor o que há de mais atual no conhecimento científico acerca da toxoplasmose e do T. gondii. O livro cobre praticamente todos os campos do conhecimento sobre o agente etiológico e a doença, apresentando novos aspectos, particularmente em relação à bioquímica, à interação entre o parasita e a célula hospedeira e à resposta imunológica à infecção

    Abstract Giardia intestinalis has unique characteristics, even in the absence of certain organelles. For instance, Golgi and mitochondria are not found. On the other hand, there is a network of peripheral vacuoles (PVs) and mitosomes. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER), nuclear membrane, peroxisomes, and lipid bodies are present. The peripheral vacuole system seems to play several simultaneous roles. It is involved in the endocytic activity of the trophozoite but also has characteristics of early and late endosomes and even lysosomes, establishing a connection with the ER. Some of the PVs contain small vesicles, acting as multivesicular bodies, including the release of exosomes. The mitosomes are surrounded by two membranes, divide during mitosis, and are distributed throughout the cell. They do not contain DNA, enzymes involved in the citric acid cycle, respiratory chain, or ATP synthesis. However, they contain the iron-sulfur complex and transporters as TOM and TIM. Some mitosomes are linked to flagellar axonemes through a fibrillar connection. During encystation, two types of larger cytoplasmic vesicles appear. One originating from the ER contains the cyst wall proteins. Another contains carbohydrates. Both migrate to the cell periphery and fuse with plasma membrane secreting their contents to give rise to the cell wall.
