apicomplexa taxonomy
kingdom- protistis
class- sar- eukaryotes
order- alveolata
family- apicomplexa
apicomplexa groups
- colpodellida
- conoidasida
- aconoidasida
conoidasida contains
- gregarinasina
- coccidiasina
aconoidasida contains
- haemospororida
- piroplasmorida
apicompexa- conoidasid taxonomy
kingdom- protistis class- sar- eukaryotes order- alveolata family- apicomplexa group- conoidasida
apicompexa- conoidasid movement
- movement of alveoli provide gliding motility (outer layers of men roll from front to back like thread on a tank)
- all have apical complex
apicompexa forms
- zoite
- sporozoites
- meroziotes
- schizozoites
- tachyzoites
- bradyzoites
zoite
fx unit (cigar shaped cell, migrates in host and invades cells, beginning and end of cycle)
sporozoites
- infective forms found in sporulated oocysts
- result of reduction division bc of fusion of gamates
merozoites or schizozoites
sporozoites invade host cells and form merozoites or schiozozoites through multiple internal fission called schizogony
tachyzoites
divide rapidly
bradyzoites
divide slowly
apicomplexa- conoidasida dx
- dx is present where schizonts multiply
