Protozoan infection Protozoan infections are parasitic diseases caused by organisms formerly classified in the Kingdom Protozoa.They include organisms classified in Amoebozoa, Excavata, and Chromalveolata. Examples include Entamoeba histolytica, Plasmodium (some of which cause malaria), and Giardia lamblia.Trypanosoma brucei, transmitted by the tsetse fly and the cause of African sleeping sickness, is another example.hey include organisms classified in Amoebozoa, Excavata, and Chromalveolata.

Protozoa Protozoa are an exceedingly diverse group of single celled, eukaryotic organisms. Pathogenic protozoa are referred to as parasites and cause a wide array of clinical diseases. They are broadly divided into: Intestinal protozoa e.g.Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia lamblia and Cryptosporidium parvum.athogenic protozoa are referred to as parasites and cause a wide array of clinical diseases.

- From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Human parasites include various protozoa and worms which may infect humans, causing parasitic diseases. Human parasites are divided into endoparasites, which cause infection inside the body, and ectoparasites, which cause infection superficially within the skin.uman parasites include various protozoa and worms which may infect humans, causing parasitic diseases.

Background Giardiasis is a major diarrheal disease found throughout the world. The flagellate protozoan Giardia intestinalis­­ (previously known as G lamblia), its causative agent, is the most commonly identified intestinal parasite in the United States and the most common protozoal intestinal parasite isolated worldwide.

- Lesson Summary • Most protist diseases in humans are caused by protozoa. Protozoa make humans sick when they become human parasites. Trypanosoma protozoa cause Chagas disease and sleeping sickness. Giardia protozoa cause giardiasis, and Plasmodium protozoa cause malaria. Identify three ways fungi can make humans sick. Vocabulary • athlete's foot • candidasis • giardiasis • malaria • ringworm Introduction Protists and fungi may seem defenseless, but they can be deadly. Both are important causes of disease and death in other living things—including humans.

- Protozoa are non-phototrophic, unicellular, eukaryotic microorganisms with no cell walls. This diverse group of over 65,000 species generally share these basic attributes. Looking deeper, this group can be extremely complex and variable.his group can often have complex lifecycles that require multiple host species. Many sporozoans cause disease. Of all the diseases caused by protozoa, the deadliest is malaria, caused by the sporozoan Plasmodium. When a female Anopheles mosquito bites a human, it is able to transmit Plasmodium into the bloodstream.

Protozoan Diseases List Amoebiasis. Amoebiasis is a protozoan disease caused by Entamoeba histolytica, which secretes enzymes that dissolve the host's tissues. Amoebiasis infection is spread by contact with feces, which can occur if water or food are contaminated, or if someone has oral contact with fecal matter.eishmaniasis. Leishmaniasis is caused by the Leishmania parasite, which is found in southern Europe, the subtropics and the tropics. This disease is spread by the bites of sand flies that are infected with the parasite.

- In the United States, B. microti is the most common strain associated with humans. Other species infect cattle, livestock, and occasionally domestic animals. People who contract babesiosis suffer from malaria-like symptoms. As a result, malaria is a common misdiagnosis for the disease.abesia (also called Nuttallia) is a genus of protozoan apicomplexan piroplasms which was discovered by the Romanian bacteriologist Victor Babeș, that infect the blood and cause a parasitic, hemolytic disease known as babesiosis.

Protozoan Diseases List African sleeping sickness is caused by protozoa in the Trypanosoma genus. These organisms are carried by the tsetse fly and transmitted to humans via tsetse fly bites. According to the World Health Organization, Trypanosoma brucei gambiense causes more than 90 percent of African sleeping sickness cases.

Protozoa Primitive, single-celled, microscopic animals able to move by amoeboid action or by means of CILIA or whip-like appendages (flagella). Many protozoa are parasitic on humans and are of medical importance. These include the organisms that cause AMOEBIASIS, BALANTIDIASIS, CRYPTOSPORIDIOSIS, GIARDIASIS, ISOSPORIDIOSIS, LEISHMANIASIS, MALARIA, SLEEPING SICKNESS, TOXOPLASMOSIS and TRICHOMONIASIS.
