    Classification of Veterinary Protozoans

    Uploaded by

    This document classifies and describes various veterinary protozoans. It divides protozoans into four main phyla: Sarcomastigophora, Ciliophora, Sporozoa, and Microspora. Within these phyla are classes, genera, and species. Sarcomastigophora includes amoeboid and flagellate protozoans like Entamoeba and Trypanosoma. Ciliophora contains Balantidium which uses cilia for locomotion. Sporozoa are obligate intracellular parasites like Babesia and Plasmodium with complex life cycles. Microspora are also intracellular but have limited veterinary significance. An undetermined protozoan

     Locomotion by Pseudopodia and flagellates
    Sarcomastigophora  When amoeboid movement by pseudopodia, such protozoan
    are placed in Class Sarcodina (Genus: Entamoeba)
     They Entamoeba has specie Entamoeba histolytica
     When the protozoan have one or more flagella, they are
    placed
    in Class Mastigophora (Genus: Trypanosoma, Leishmaina,
    Trichomnas, Histomonas, Hexamita, Gardia)
     The flagellates reproduce by binary fission
     Flagellates are found in variety of host such as mammals
    including humans, pigeons, cattle, chicken, gallinaceous birds
    etc.
    Possesses cilia for locomotion in the tropozoite stage
    Cilliophora
    Possess two types of nuclei i.e. Macronuclei and
    Micronuclei

    They form cyst that are resistant to external


    environmental condition

    They include Balantidium (Balantidium coli)

    Balantidium coli is found in pigs, rats, dogs and


    primates
     Also called Apicomplexa

    Sporozoa 

    Locomotion is by gliding
    Obligatory intracellular parasite
     Multiply through strict sequence of asexual and
    sexual reproduction
     May have direct and indirect lifecycle
     They include protozoan of class Coccidia,
    Piroplasmida and Haemosporidia
     They have a wide host range including animal like
    ruminants, horses, dogs, Cattle, cats, sheep, goat,
    mammals including humans, opossums
     Little veterinary significance
    Microspora  All are intracellular parasites with a schizogonous
    and sporogonous stage
     Multiplies asexually
     Most are parasite of fish but also disease are
    reported in man, dog, blue fox, rodents an other
    mammals
     Example is Encephalitozoon cuniculi
