For protozoa counting, 2 ml samples of fermenter fluid were taken daily, immediately before the substrate exchange.
Clonal structures have often been reported for protozoa.
In this respect the transmission resembles that of many intestinal protozoa.
In addition, studies in animal models should include parasite interaction with protozoa and viruses.
One unit of study, which is commonly employed to investigate the population ecology of microparasitic organisms (the viruses, bacteria and protozoa), is the infected host.
Thus, heterotrophic protozoa may act as an essential pathway for dissolved organic matter and as important consumers of bacteria in tank bromeliads.
Infections with intraerythrocytic protozoa, therefore, have an adverse effect on concomitant nematode infections.
Towards an integrated genetic epidemiology of parasitic protozoa and other pathogens.
