Their vunerability may depend upon their being prokaryotic or eucarotic. If they have a nuclear membrane, they are probably not succeptable to CS. Does anyone know?

Because amoebas and other parasites go through a single stage cell it may be assumed that CS will kill them by virtue of the fact that they are single cells. However these cells use a different enzyme system than anaerobes to incorporate and utilize oxygen. If the mechanism of action of CS is to inactivate the enzyme responsible for anaerobic respiration it follows that it would not work on a different enzyme system in an aerobic organism. I do not know if CS kills amoebas or other parasties at the single cell stage or not, but these are some of my thoughts on it.
