malaria and toxoplasmosis are caused by protozoa of the genus Plasmodium and Toxoplasma, respectively.
Plasmodia
Toxoplasmosis is a parasitic disease caused by the protozoan Toxoplasma gondii. Malaria is caused by plasmodium, which is a genus of Apicomplexan parasites.
There are a number of types of protists that are considered parasites. The Leishmania group is one, and the group Plasmodium, whose members cause malaria, is another.
The group Apicomplexa consists entirely of parasitic forms. They include the genus Plasmodium, which causes malaria, and Toxoplasma gondii, which causes toxoplasmosis. These protists have complex life cycles often involving multiple hosts.
Plasmodium is a member of the sporozoan group of protists. It is the causative agent of malaria and has a complex life cycle involving both mosquito and human hosts.
No. Mosquitoes transmit protists through biting, which is where diseases like malaria come from.
Dinoflangellates.
dinoflagellates
Dinoflagellates are a group of protists that can glow in the dark, a phenomenon known as bioluminescence. Some dinoflagellates also produce toxins that can cause harmful algal blooms, known as red tides, which can be toxic to marine life and humans when ingested.
Many glow in the dark; Euglenoids
Malaria parasite is a protozoan.
Dinoflagellates are the group of protists that can glow in the dark and cause toxic red tides. The bioluminescent glow is due to a chemical reaction within their cells. These organisms can produce toxins that can be harmful to marine life and humans when a red tide occurs.
