General Life Cycle: Hemoflagellates

• Leishmania Life Cycle

  Vector Stage: A ----- P

  = Infective Stage: Amastigote

  Human Stage: P ----- A

  = Infective Stage: Promastigote
• Stages of Flagellates Multiply in MACROPHAGES

  + As it Phagocitis by Macrophages it will then invade the RETICULOENDOTHELIAL CELL. Then it will transform into that stage
• Trypanosoma Life Cycle (It has all the stages of Flagellates)

  Vector Stage: T -- A -- P -- E -- T

  = Infective Stage: Trypomastigote

  Human Stage: T -- A -- P -- E -- T

  = Infective Stage: Trypomastigote
• Life cycle Note:

  Leishmania

  + Only Amastigote and Promastigote stages are present

  + Amastigote divides by BINARY FISION

  - Hind gut, Mid gut and Also Proboscis (Feeding Tube)
• Life cycle Note:

  Trypanosoma

  + T. cruzi only inhibits the four stages of the developmental stage Life Cycle, While the other Trypanosoma only has EPIMASTIGOTE and TRYPOMASTIGOT.

  + Divide by BINARY FISION
