Disease caused by protozoa

Explanation:

A microorganism or microbe is a microscopic organism, which may exist in its single-celled form or in a colony of cells. Bacteria, Fungi like yeasts and molds, viruses, protozoans, and algae are all micro-organisms. Pathogenic, or harmful, microbes can invade other organisms and cause disease. Protozoans are single-celled microscopic animals such as amoeba or flagellate.

Malaria is an infectious disease that can affect humans and other animals. Malaria is caused by protozoan parasites that belong to the Plasmodium family. It can be transmitted by anopheles mosquitoes or by contaminated needle or transfusion.

African Trypanosomiasis or sleeping sickness is caused by protozoan parasites of the species Trypanosoma brucei. It is transmitted by the tsetse fly, which is found only in rural Africa.
