The blood infection by Trypanosoma sp. in tuvira (Gymnotus aff. inaequilabiatus) from the Pantanal wetland was reported in this study. Ten fish from the Paraguay River in the Pantanal were evaluated for the presence of hemoflagellates. Trypomastigotes of Trypanosoma sp. were observed in blood smears from three fish (30% prevalence) and some forms were seen to be undergoing division. Using the diagnostic methods of fresh examination and blood centrifugation in hematocrit capillary tubes, the prevalence rate was 80%. This is the first report of Trypanosoma sp. in tuvira in Brazil.

(+info)Euglenozoa is a group of unicellular organisms that includes both free-living and parasitic species. Two major parasitic groups within Euglenozoa are the kinetoplastids, which include organisms such as Trypanosoma and Leishmania, and the diplonemids.
Trypanosoma infections can cause diseases such as African sleeping sickness (also known as human African trypanosomiasis) and Chagas disease (also known as American trypanosomiasis), while Leishmania infections can cause various forms of leishmaniasis, including cutaneous, mucocutaneous, and visceral leishmaniasis. These diseases are transmitted to humans through the bites of infected insect vectors, such as tsetse flies (in the case of African sleeping sickness) or sandflies (in the case of leishmaniasis and Chagas disease).
Diplonemid infections in humans have not been well-studied, and it is currently unclear whether these organisms are capable of causing disease in humans. However, diplonemids have been found to infect a wide range of marine and freshwater organisms, including fish, crustaceans, and other protists.
In general, euglenozoan infections can cause a variety of symptoms depending on the specific organism involved and the location of the infection within the body. Symptoms may include fever, swelling, skin lesions, anemia, and damage to various organs. Treatment for these infections typically involves the use of antiparasitic drugs, such as pentamidine, suramin, or benznidazole, although the specific treatment approach will depend on the organism involved and the severity of the infection.
Euglenozoa is a group of primarily unicellular organisms that includes both free-living and parasitic forms. It is a major clade within the eukaryotes, characterized by the presence of unique flagella with specialized structures called mastigonemes. This group includes two main classes: Euglenida, which are mostly free-living and photosynthetic; and Kinetoplastea, which include parasitic forms such as trypanosomes and leishmanias. The members of this group have diverse morphologies and life styles, ranging from free-living heterotrophs to phototrophs, and from parasites that cause serious diseases in humans and other animals to saprophytes.
Euglenida is a group of unicellular organisms that are characterized by having a flexible, elongated shape and a pair of flagella used for movement. They belong to the kingdom Protista and can be found in various aquatic environments. Some members of this group have chloroplasts and can perform photosynthesis, while others are heterotrophic and obtain their nutrients by consuming other organisms or organic matter.
Euglenids are known for their ability to change their shape and movement patterns in response to environmental stimuli, such as light and chemicals. They have a unique eyespot that detects light and helps them to navigate towards sources of light. Some euglenids also have the ability to form temporary cysts to survive unfavorable conditions.
Euglenida is a diverse group with over 700 species, some of which are important members of the plankton community in aquatic ecosystems. While they are generally harmless to humans and other animals, some species can produce toxins that can be harmful to other organisms in their environment.
Kinetoplastida is a group of flagellated protozoan parasites, which are characterized by the presence of a unique structure called the kinetoplast, a DNA-containing region within the single, large mitochondrion. The kinetoplast contains numerous maxicircles and minicircles that encode essential components for energy metabolism.
This order includes several medically important genera such as Trypanosoma and Leishmania, which are responsible for causing various diseases in humans and animals. Trypanosoma species cause diseases like African sleeping sickness (Trypanosoma brucei) and Chagas disease (Trypanosoma cruzi), while Leishmania species are the causative agents of leishmaniasis.
These parasites have complex life cycles involving different hosts and developmental stages, often exhibiting morphological and biochemical changes during their life cycle. They can be transmitted to humans through insect vectors such as tsetse flies (African trypanosomiasis) and sandflies (leishmaniasis).
The medical significance of Kinetoplastida lies in the understanding of their biology, pathogenesis, and epidemiology, which are crucial for developing effective control strategies and treatments against the diseases they cause.
Eukaryota is a domain that consists of organisms whose cells have a true nucleus and complex organelles. This domain includes animals, plants, fungi, and protists. The term "eukaryote" comes from the Greek words "eu," meaning true or good, and "karyon," meaning nut or kernel. In eukaryotic cells, the genetic material is housed within a membrane-bound nucleus, and the DNA is organized into chromosomes. This is in contrast to prokaryotic cells, which do not have a true nucleus and have their genetic material dispersed throughout the cytoplasm.
Eukaryotic cells are generally larger and more complex than prokaryotic cells. They have many different organelles, including mitochondria, chloroplasts, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus, that perform specific functions to support the cell's metabolism and survival. Eukaryotic cells also have a cytoskeleton made up of microtubules, actin filaments, and intermediate filaments, which provide structure and shape to the cell and allow for movement of organelles and other cellular components.
Eukaryotes are diverse and can be found in many different environments, ranging from single-celled organisms that live in water or soil to multicellular organisms that live on land or in aquatic habitats. Some eukaryotes are unicellular, meaning they consist of a single cell, while others are multicellular, meaning they consist of many cells that work together to form tissues and organs.
In summary, Eukaryota is a domain of organisms whose cells have a true nucleus and complex organelles. This domain includes animals, plants, fungi, and protists, and the eukaryotic cells are generally larger and more complex than prokaryotic cells.
Phylogeny is the evolutionary history and relationship among biological entities, such as species or genes, based on their shared characteristics. In other words, it refers to the branching pattern of evolution that shows how various organisms have descended from a common ancestor over time. Phylogenetic analysis involves constructing a tree-like diagram called a phylogenetic tree, which depicts the inferred evolutionary relationships among organisms or genes based on molecular sequence data or other types of characters. This information is crucial for understanding the diversity and distribution of life on Earth, as well as for studying the emergence and spread of diseases.
