Mastigophora is a subgroup of protozoa that includes parasitic organisms such as Giardia and Trichomonas, in addition to Trypanosoma and Leishmania. These organisms typically have flagella for movement and can cause infections in humans and animals. They have unique morphological and behavioral characteristics that distinguish them from other protozoa.
Yes, parasitic worms are generally larger than protozoa. Parasitic worms, such as tapeworms and roundworms, can range from a few millimeters to several meters in length, while protozoa are typically single-celled organisms that are usually microscopic, often measuring just a few micrometers. This significant size difference is one of the key distinctions between these two types of parasites.
The protozoa that are not capable of independent movement are called "sporozoans." They are parasitic organisms that rely on a host to move from one place to another.
Single-celled animal-like organisms are called protozoa. They are classified as eukaryotes and can be found in various aquatic and terrestrial environments. Protozoa exhibit a wide range of behaviors and morphologies, from parasitic to free-living forms.
The protozoan genera that are least parasitic are free-living, such as Amoeba and Paramecium. These protozoa primarily live in freshwater environments and feed on bacteria or other small organisms. They do not typically parasitize other organisms for their survival.
Only some protozoa are decomposers as giant Amoeba . Most protozoa are saprotrophic , some parasitic and some photosynthetic .

Malaria is transmitted through Mosquitoes. The saliva of the female anopheles mosquito contains a protozoa that infects the humans and animals with the malaria parasite.

Malaria is actually caused by a protist that belongs to the genus of Plasmodium.
The protozoan genera that are least parasitic are free-living, such as Amoeba and Paramecium. These protozoa primarily live in freshwater environments and feed on bacteria or other small organisms. They do not typically parasitize other organisms for their survival.
The group of protozoa that have flagella are called flagellates. Flagellates use their whip-like flagella for movement and are often found in aquatic environments like freshwater or marine habitats. Some flagellates are parasitic, while others are free-living.
The protozoa that are not capable of independent movement are called sporozoans. They are parasitic protozoa that typically have complex life cycles involving multiple hosts. Examples include Plasmodium, the parasite responsible for causing malaria, and Toxoplasma gondii, which causes toxoplasmosis.
Trichomoniasis is an infection caused by parasitic protozoa. In short, it's an STD. You can easily get it from having sex with an infected person, but an IUD won't cause it.
