Microorganisms can be good or bad. In their good form they assist humans with digestion. In their bad form, they cause viral infections or diseases.
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.
