Protozoa are eukaryotic micro-organisms, many of which are capable of infecting humans and directly causing disease. Other protozoa affect humans indirectly by causing diseases in animals or via ecological influences. Protozoa--despite their small size and unicellularness--often exhibit complex and unique biological features. They also serve as experimental models in a variety of cellular, molecular, biochemical, and ecological research. The primary purpose of this website is a resource for Medical Protozoology (TRMD 607) taught at the Tulane University School Public Health.
