Anaerobic parasitic protozoa cause medically and economically
important diseases - such as dysentery, sexually transmitted
infections, and gastroenteritis - that annually affect millions of
people worldwide. Recently, the genomes of the three key anaerobic
protozoa - Trichomonas, Giardia, and Entamoeba - have been
determined. The availability of these genomic data and the use of
post-genomic analyses have provided fascinating new insights into
the biology of these important parasites. They will be important
for the design of novel anti-protozoan drugs and the development of
effective vaccines. In this book, internationally acclaimed
researchers critically review the most important aspects of
research on anaerobic parasitic protozoa, providing the first
coherent picture of their genomics and molecular biology since the
publication of the genomes. Chapters are written from a molecular
and genomic perspective and contain speculative models upon which
future research efforts can be based. Topics include: the genomes
of Entamoeba histolytica, Trichomonas vaginalis, Giardia, and other
diplomonads; the cytoskeletons of Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia
lamblia, and Trichomonas vaginalis; genomic analyses and
manipulation of gene expression in Entamoeba histolytica; nuclear
and chromosomal structure and replication in Giardia; and the
mitochondrion-like organelles of a fourth anaerobe, Blastocystis.
The book is essential reading for all researchers working with
these protozoa and related organisms and with eukaryotic model
organisms. It is recommended for all parasitology laboratories.
