Abstract

There has been a resurgence of interest in medical protozoology in the last twenty years or so mainly as a result of the recognition of HIV infection and the opportunistic protozoan infections associated with it. Many new species of microsporidia have been recognised as parasites causing human disease and several rare infections, such as isosporiasis, have become more commonly recognised, even in temperate climates. Some of the infections seen in temperate regions have arrived through foreign travel (tourism, work or immigration), sometimes exacerbated by immunosuppression (due to HIV, organ transplantation or malignancy). Importation of food from around the world and climate change (global warming) may also be contributing to the increase in previously rare protozoan infections now being seen in temperate regions. This article reviews the current status of these new and re-emerging human protozoan infections in temperate, rather than tropical locations.

欧洲温带气候中新出现的人类原生动物感染。
在过去的二十年里,人们对医学原生动物学的兴趣重新燃起,这主要是由于认识到艾滋病毒感染和与之相关的机会性原生动物感染。许多新的微孢子虫物种已被确认为引起人类疾病的寄生虫,而一些罕见的感染,如等孢子虫病,即使在温带气候中也已得到更普遍的认识。在温带地区看到的一些感染是通过国外旅行(旅游、工作或移民)到达的,有时因免疫抑制(由于艾滋病毒、器官移植或恶性肿瘤)而加剧。从世界各地进口食品和气候变化(全球变暖)也可能导致温带地区以前罕见的原生动物感染增加。这篇文章回顾了这些新的和重新出现的人类原生动物感染在温带地区的现状,而不是热带地区。
