Which protozoan group consists solely of parasitic forms?
The parasitic protozoan Plasmodium, which causes malaria, requires both a human host and a female Anopheles mosquito to complete its life cycle. In humans, the protozoan multiplies and causes symptoms, while in the mosquito, it undergoes a sexual phase necessary for transmission back to humans.
Protozoans belong to various genera including Plasmodium, Trypanosoma, Paramecium, and Amoeba. These genera encompass a wide range of protozoan species with diverse characteristics and lifestyles.
T. cruzi is short for Trypanosoma cruzi, which is a parasitic protozoan that causes Chagas disease in humans.
The protozoan parasite associated with AIDS that can lead to pneumonitis, hepatitis, and encephalitis is called Toxoplasma gondii. It is an opportunistic infection commonly seen in individuals with compromised immune systems, such as those with late-stage AIDS. Treatment typically involves a combination of anti-parasitic medications.

It is a tropical parasitic disease caused by flagellate protozoan Trypnosoma cruzi.
It is parasitic protozoan and moves by flagella .
Parasitic organisms are those that live at the expense of other organisms. Often, parasites feed on other animals. For example, mosquitos are parasites because they feed on the blood of other living things. Mosquitoes sometimes carry parasitic microorganisms too, like plasmodium falciparum, which is the protozoan that causes malaria.
Amoeba: A unicellular organism that moves using pseudopods and feeds mainly on bacteria and algae. Paramecium: A ciliated protozoan that feeds on bacteria and other small organisms. Trypanosoma: A parasitic protozoan that causes diseases such as sleeping sickness and Chagas disease. Plasmodium: The protozoan responsible for causing malaria in humans. Giardia: A flagellated protozoan that can cause gastrointestinal illness in humans and animals.
