Amoebic dysentery caused by amoeba and bacillary disentery caused by Bacteria `shigella'
Dysentery is an intestinal infection that results in severe diarrhea. Bacterial infections, such as Shigella, E. coli and Salmonella, are the most common causes of dysentery.
One very important impact protists have on the living world is a pathogens (disease causers). Case in point is Endaomeba histolytica a causative agent of dysentery. In many organisms they aid in the gut digesting food. The shells of Sarcodina (Radioloaia) are used as an abrasive. Plasmodium vivax causes malaria.
