Zusammenfassung

Protozoen, die zur großen Gruppe der Parasiten gehören, sind eukaryotische Organismen mit einem einzigen Nukleus, deren Zellmasse sehr unterschiedlich ist. Resistente Zysten können auch ungünstige Verhältnisse lange Zeit überleben. Der pathogene Effekt, der meist durch Ingestion aufgenommenen Erreger hängt sehr von deren Virulenz ab. Während diese einerseits den Organismus nur unbedeutend schädigen, können sie aber andererseits auch schwerverlaufende Erkrankungen hervorgerufen. Eine Anpassung an den Wirt ist möglich, jedoch kann es bei Störungen der Immunabwehr zu hoch akuten, nicht selten tödlich verlaufenden Erkrankungen kommen.
