A pathogen is an agent that can cause diseases.
Protozoa are microscopic, motile, eukaryotic organisms, which include organisms such as amoebas. They mainly live in water, but can also be found in soil.
Examples of protozoa that can cause disease, and so are "pathogenic protozoa" are Cryptosporidium which can cause Crytosporidiosis, and Giardia lamblia which can cause Giardiasis. Plasmodium is another example of pathogenic protozoa, as Plasmodium vivax is the main cause of malaria.
What else can I help you with?
How does protozoa reproduce?
Protozoa can reproduce through asexual methods such as binary fission, where the cell divides into two daughter cells, or through sexual reproduction, where genetic material is exchanged between individuals. Some protozoa can also reproduce through multiple fission, budding, or sporulation.
Beneficial effects of protozoa?
Protozoa play a crucial role in the ecosystem as they contribute to nutrient cycling, decompose organic matter, and serve as food for other organisms. Some protozoa also form symbiotic relationships with plants, helping in nutrient uptake and enhancing plant growth. Additionally, certain protozoa are used in bioremediation to clean up pollutants in the environment.
How is pathogenic bacteria spread?
There are many ways they spread -- you can pass them via contact or droplets, and some can be airborne. Some are spread via vectors (ie mosquitos), and some are in water or food that are ingested. It really depends on what type of pathogenic bacteria you are speaking of.
What is the scientific name for the phylum Protozoa?
The scientific name for the phylum Protozoa is Protozoa.
What is a synonym for disease causing?
Pathogenic.

Treatment of pathogenic diseases?
you can use simple antibiotics, medicines and of course seek medicinal help, Professional best, but not all pathogenic diseases are curable.

Is coccidiosis contagious?
No, it does not pass from animal to animal. It is a protozoa parasite that lives in the intestines of all healthy cattle, and only causes damage when animals are very stressed or have overwhelming numbers of protozoa. There are 15 kinds of coccidia that live in cattle, but there are only 2 that are pathogenic.
