The Role of Protozoa in Cancer Development

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Infectious Agents and Cancer

Abstract

The role of protozoa in cancer development remains obscure, and to the moment of the publication of this book, no one of them were recognized IARC as a causative agent of human cancer. However, available information from original research and reviews reflects a possibility to cause cancer for certain Protozoa species. We start from Toxoplasma gondii through Cryptosporidium parvum to Trichomonas vaginalis.
