Protists
They are caused by protozoa. Amoebic dysentery is caused by Entamoeba hystolytica. Malaria is caused by one of the four Plasmodium species.
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.
All the diseases, which are mentioned above are caused by protozoa.
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.
Certain types of protists are parasites. malaria is s protist that causes a disease state in humans. Amebic Dysentery is another protist parasite. Others include Cryptosporidium, Giardiasis, and African Sleeping Sickness.
No. It is primarily a protozoan parasite of the gastrointestinal tract that causes amoebic dysentry. Bloodstream protozoan parasites include Plasmodium (malaria) or Trypanosoma (African sleeping sickness).

Protozoa range in size from 1/5,000 to 1/50 of an inch (5 to 500 micrometers) in diameter. They are microscopic. The term protozoa means first animal. They are found everywhere and they eat bacteria, algae and other protozoans. Examples that are interesting to us are the flagellate Trypanosoma, which causes African sleeping sickness; the amoeba Entamoeba histolytica, which can attack the intestinal wall and cause amoebic dysentery, and the sporozoans of the Plasmodium species, which cause malaria.
Protozoa are one celled organisms. Many protozoans are responsible for diseases in humans. Some of these are: dysentery, malaria, toxoplasmosis, and sleeping sickness.
Examples of human diseases caused by protozoa: malaria, amoebias , giardiasis , toxoplasmosis , cryptosporidiosis, trichomoniasis , leishmaniasis , sleeping sickness , dysentery,
