malaria and toxoplasmosis are caused by protozoa of the genus Plasmodium and Toxoplasma, respectively.
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.
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 protist was a member of a diverse group of microorganisms.
Malaria parasite is a protozoan.
The phylum group of protozoans that are often parasites include the Apicomplexa, also known as the Sporozoans. These parasites are known for causing diseases such as malaria, toxoplasmosis, and cryptosporidiosis. They have complex life cycles that involve both sexual and asexual reproduction.

Toxoplasmosis was first discovered in 1908 by the French scientist Charles Nicolle. He identified the parasite responsible for the disease, Toxoplasma gondii, and its transmission through cats and other mammals.
Malaria is a vector-borne infectious disease that is widespread in tropical and subtropical regions, including parts of the Americas, Asia, and Africa. Each year, it causes disease in approximately 650 million people and kills between one and three million, most of them young children in Sub-Saharan Africa. Malaria is commonly-associated with poverty, but is also a cause of poverty and a major hindrance to economic development. Malaria is one of the most common infectious diseases and an enormous public-health problem. The disease is caused by protozoanparasites of the genusPlasmodium. The most serious forms of the disease are caused by Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax, but other related species (Plasmodium ovale, Plasmodium malariae, and sometimes Plasmodium knowlesi) can also infect humans. This group of human-pathogenic Plasmodiumspecies is usually referred to as malaria parasites. [1]1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaria
While there is no exact definition for the term protozoa, it often refers to a unicellular (one cell) heterotrophic (non-plants) protist , such as the amoeba and ciliates.
