Parasitic protozoa comprise a large number of species, some of which are agents of important diseases. They are also of interest from the point of view of cell biology since they contain special organelles and structures. This review analyses our present knowledge of (1). the glycosomes, found in members of the Kinetoplastida order, (2). the hydrogenosomes found in some anaerobic protozoa, especially in trichomonads, (3). the acidocalcisomes, recently described in several protozoa, and (4). structures and organelles participating in the endocytic pathway in trypanosomatids.
寄生原生动物包含大量物种,其中一些是重要疾病的病原体。从细胞生物学角度来看,它们也很有趣,因为它们含有特殊的细胞器和结构。本综述分析了我们目前对以下内容的了解:(1)动质体目成员中发现的糖体;(2)一些厌氧原生动物,特别是滴虫中发现的氢化酶体;(3)最近在几种原生动物中描述的酸性钙小体;以及(4)锥虫内吞途径中参与的结构和细胞器。
