Under the name of programmed cell death (PCD) are included
diverse molecular mechanism of cell suicide which play an essential
role in the development of multicellular organisms. The best known
PCD mechanism in multicellular organisms is called apoptosis.
However, recent studies indicate that PCD is also present in
protozoa and unicellular eukaryotes. The eleven chapters of this
book give the reader a comprehensive update of the progress in the
understanding of the mechanisms of PCD in protozoa. The chapters
have been written by experts in this field of research and are
arranged following an evolutionary point of view starting with PCD
in protists and ending with PCD in ciliated protozoa.
