animal-like
malaria and african sleeping sickness
Some protozoans are harmful to animals because they are parasites. They either feed directly off of the animal or cause disease in the animal. Malaria and sleeping sickness are two diseases caused by protists.
Most protists are parasitic in nature, so after they invade a host, they will continue to thrive off the host's body until expelled by treatment, or the host dies. Some diseases caused by protists are Malaria, African Sleeping Sickness, and Amoebic Dysentery.
Sleeping sickness (Eastern Equine Encephalitis) is spread by biting insects that have fed off an infected animal.
The tsetse fly is the primary carrier of Trypanosoma brucei. T. brucei are a parasitic, single flagella protozoa that causes African trypanosomiasis(sleeping sickness) in humans and Nagana (animal African trypanosomiasis). T. brucei produces the chemical Tryptophol during the neurological phase of the disease that induces sleep.
African sleeping sickness is primarily caused by the Trypanosoma brucei parasite, which is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected tsetse flies. There are two main forms of the disease: Trypanosoma brucei gambiense, which is prevalent in West and Central Africa, and Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, found in East Africa. The disease can lead to severe neurological symptoms if not treated promptly.
Animal-like protists are autotrophic, while plant-like protists are heterotrophic.
animal-like protists
Animal-like protists are autotrophic, while plant-like protists are heterotrophic.
Animal-like protists are unicellular~
Animal-like protists live in moist and damp places
No. Malaria is an animal disease that affects humans and is caused by a protozoan parasite, therefore in the biological kingdom, Protista, and not Fungi. It is spread by certain types of mosquito.
