Diseases Caused by Protists Protists are not animals, plants or fungi, but they are single- or multi-celled eukaryotes. Eukaryotes are single- or multi-celled living organisms, each of which contains a nucleus surrounded by a membrane. Some of them are parasites, which live on or in their host, causing harm to that host.

Diseases Caused by Protists Video: Diseases Caused by Protists. Protists cause some truly devastating human diseases, which is saying a lot for a microscopic, simple organism that often needs help from other organisms to reach its human targets. Here, you will learn about protists and the diseases they cause.

- Amebiasis is a disease caused by Entamoeba histolytica, a unicellular eukaryotic parasite. E. histolytica belongs to thegenus Entamoeba, along with 5 other parasites: E. coli, E. hartamanni, E. dispar, E. gingivalis, and E. polecki.However, only E. histolytica causes Amebiasis.any carriers of Amebiasis have no symptoms, and eventually clear the infection without disease. However, 4-10% of asymptomatic carriers develop symptomatic infections within 1 year. For this reason, it is strongly suggested these asymptomatic individuals obtain treatment.

Is Malaria a parasite, virus, bacteria or fungi? Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease of humans and other animals caused by parasitic protozoans (a group of single-celled microorganism) belonging to the genus Plasmodium.he parasites travel to the liver where they mature and reproduce. Five species of Plasmodium can infect and be spread by humans. Most deaths are caused by P. falciparum because P. vivax, P. ovale, and P. malariae generally cause a milder form of malaria.

Diseases Caused by Protists The diseases that protists inflict on humans are caused by those that are parasitic--they feed on another organism, causing harm without benefiting their host. Often, parasites use another organism as a vehicle to gain access to the host. The go-betweens linking parasites and hosts are called vectors.

Protist Other protists include pathogenic species such as the kinetoplastid Trypanosoma brucei, which causes sleeping sickness and species of the apicomplexan Plasmodium which cause malaria.ome protists reproduce sexually using gametes, while others reproduce asexually by binary fission. Some species, for example Plasmodium falciparum, have extremely complex life cycles that involve multiple forms of the organism, some of which reproduce sexually and others asexually.

Thermometer basics: Taking your child's temperature 1 Rectal temperature. 2  Turn on the digital thermometer and lubricate the tip of the thermometer with petroleum jelly. 3  Lay your baby or child on his or her back, lift his or her thighs, and insert the lubricated thermometer 1/2 to 1 inch (1.3 to 2.5 centimeters) into the rectum. If you use another type of thermometer to take a young child's temperature and you're in doubt about the results, take a rectal temperature. 2  4 years and older. 3  By age 4, most kids can hold a digital thermometer under the tongue for the short time it takes to get a temperature reading.

Protist Some protists, sometimes called ambiregnal protists, have been considered to be both protozoa and algae or fungi (e.g., slime molds and flagellated algae), and names for these have been published under either or both of the ICN and the ICZN.ther protists include pathogenic species such as the kinetoplastid Trypanosoma brucei, which causes sleeping sickness and species of the apicomplexan Plasmodium which cause malaria.

8 Diseases from Protozoan 4. Leishmaniasis. This disease is caused by the Leishmania parasite. These parasites are found mainly in southern Europe, the tropics and subtropics. The most common form of this disease being spread is through the bite of a sand fly, which carries the parasite.frican Sleeping Sickness. African sleeping sickness is a disease caused by the protozoa, which are carried by the tsetse fly and are transmitted to humans through tsetse fly bites.

Protist However, in modern taxonomy the Protista are understood to be paraphyletic (not a clade), so the term remains in use only for convenience, similar to  invertebrate . An equivalent term Protoctista is used for these organisms by various organisations and institutions.ther protists include pathogenic species such as the kinetoplastid Trypanosoma brucei, which causes sleeping sickness and species of the apicomplexan Plasmodium which cause malaria.

- Human malaria is caused by four species of Plasmodium protozoa: Plasmodium falciparum, P.vivax, P. ovale and P.malariae. Malaria is a public health problem in over 100 countries worldwide, inhabited by some 40% of the world population, i.e. over 2 billion people.

Sleeping Sickness Human African trypanosomiasis. Sleeping sickness is caused by two germs (protozoa), Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense and Trypanosomoa brucei gambiense . The more severe form of the illness is caused by T. b. rhodesiense . Tsetse flies carry the infection. When an infected fly bites you, the infection spreads through your blood.

Chapter 3Infectious Diseases Related to Travel Malaria in humans is caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Plasmodium: Plasmodium falciparum, P. vivax, P. ovale, or P. malariae. In addition, P. knowlesi, a parasite of Old World (Eastern Hemisphere) monkeys, has been documented as a cause of human infections and some deaths in Southeast Asia.

Types of Protists Such protist pathogens may take up animals as well as plants as hosts and, as a result, make the latter diseased. The malaria-causing protist, Plasmodium falciparum is a prominent example of pathogenic protists.

Protist Other protists include pathogenic species such as the kinetoplastid Trypanosoma brucei, which causes sleeping sickness and species of the apicomplexan Plasmodium which cause malaria.ost eukaryotic algae are autotrophic, but the pigments were lost in some groups. Other protists are heterotrophic, and may present phagotrophy, osmotrophy, saprotrophy or parasitism. Some are mixotrophic. Many protists are flagellate, for example, and filter feeding can take place where the flagella find prey.

Unusual Fungal and Pseudofungal Infections of Humans Protothecosis.Protothecosis is an uncommon infection of humans and animals caused by an achlorophyllous algae of the genus Prototheca. Two species, P. wickerhamii and P. zopfii, are known to cause infection, though the majority of human infections are due to P. wickerhamii (47, 49).
