Bazı parazitik protozoonlarda viral endosimbiyontlar ve virüs benzeri partiküller keşfedilmiştir. Bunların protozoonlara etkisi ve konaktaki şekillenen enfeksiyondaki rolü dikkati çekmektedir. Viral endosimbiyontların protozoonların konakta oluşturduğu patojeniteye katkısına dair bazı veriler mevcuttur. Bu derlemede; protozoonlarda bulunan viral endosimbiyontlar hakkında bilgi vermek amaçlanmıştır.

Viral endosymbionts and virus-like particles have been detected in some parasitic protozoans. The effect of them on protozoa and their role in the infection in the host is remarkable. There are some data on the contribution of viral endosymbionts to the pathogenicity of protozoa in the host. It is aimed to give information about viral endosymbionts in protozoa in the review.
