Protozoan infections are also known as parasitic diseases.
They are caused by small organisms that were formerly categorized in the Kingdom Protozoa.
They include organisms like Amoebozoa, Excavata, and Chromalveolata. The examples are Entamoeba histolytica, Plasmodium that at times also causes malaria, and Giardia lamblia.
Trypanosoma brucei is transmitted by the tsetse fly and is also the cause of African sleeping sickness. Therefore the correct answer is “A”
