ABSTRACT

Apoptosis is a form of programmed cellular death described as an essencial mechanism in normal organogenesis and tissue development, as well as in functions of cell renovation system in adult organisms. Apoptosis preserves homeostasis, keeping a strict balance between cellular proliferation and death. It is described as a generalized biological phenomenon, found in multicellular and unicellular organisms. Induction mechanisms morphological patterns, and regulating systems of apoptosis are basically the same in these organisms. Protozoa are also affected by apoptosis, but they are able to i nduce or prevent it in host cells depending on their convenience. It is interestingthat the regulation mechanisms and cellular death machinery have been preserved along evolution. This paper is a review on the phenomenon of apoptosis in protozoa and apoptosis induced by protozoa in host cells.
