Antimicrobial therapies against fungal or protozoan pathogens are challenging to develop because these microbes have eukaryotic cells just as humans do. However, differences do exist between animal cells and the cells of these microbes which provide the opportunity to develop therapies which target these unique structures or molecules. Describe three cellular components of fungal and/or protozoan cells which are not found in animal cells which could be potential targets for drug therapy.
