Cytozoon

/ˌsaɪtəˈzoʊɑn/ noun

Definition

A singular organism, especially a parasite or protozoan, that lives inside a cell.

Etymology

From cyto- (Greek kytos, 'cell') + zoon (Greek zōion, 'animal'). The singular form of cytozoa, used in older scientific literature and some modern parasitology texts.

Kelly Says

Each individual Plasmodium falciparum cell living in your red blood cells is technically a cytozoon—recognizing that these are distinct living organisms with their own biology, not just disease symptoms, was crucial to developing antimalarial treatments. Respecting your enemy's individuality helps you defeat it.
