Protozoan infection Protozoan infections are parasitic diseases caused by organisms formerly classified in the Kingdom Protozoa. They include organisms classified in Amoebozoa, Excavata, and Chromalveolata. Examples include Entamoeba histolytica, Plasmodium (some of which cause malaria), and Giardia lamblia. Trypanosoma brucei, transmitted by the tsetse fly and the cause of African sleeping sickness, is another example.

Human Diseases Caused by Protists African Sleeping Sickness: Caused by the protist protozoa Trypanosoma brucei, this disease exhibits symptoms like fever and headaches in the initial stages, which may be accompanied by vital organ dysfunction, followed by swelling of the lymph nodes in the second stage.

Giardia cysts can be transmitted on coming in contact with an infected person, who does not maintain proper personal hygiene, or by coming in contact with contaminated water.

Waterborne diseases Microorganisms causing diseases that characteristically are waterborne prominently include protozoa and bacteria, many of which are intestinal parasites, or invade the tissues or circulatory system through walls of the digestive tract. Various other waterborne diseases are caused by viruses.

Diseases caused by protozoa • This is a protozoan disease of animals and humans caused by parasites of the genus Trypanosoma, which are found in blood plasma, various body tissues and fluids. Transmission: • Trypanosoma are transmitted primarily by the Glossina spp., tsetse fly, Stomoxys, tabanid and reduviid bugs, and by venereal contact.

Malaria Malaria Causes. Malaria is caused by protozoa of the genus Plasmodium and is transmitted to humans by mosquitoes. The history of malaria shows that it was difficult to determine the disease's mode of transmission.

Share this: On this day in 1946, an undersea earthquake off the Alaskan coast triggers a massive tsunami that kills 159 people in Hawaii. In the middle of the night, 13,000 feet beneath the ocean surface, a 7.4-magnitude tremor was recorded in the North Pacific.

dysentery 1 Amebic dysentery, which is also called intestinal amebiasis and amebic colitis, is caused by a protozoon, Entamoeba histolytica. 2  E. histolytica, whose scientific name means tissue-dissolving, is second only to the organism that causes malaria as a protozoal cause of death.

8 Diseases from Protozoan What Is Protozoa? Protozoa are one of the three main classes of parasites that cause diseases in humans. They are single-celled organism, and can only be seen under a microscope. When they invade a human they are able to multiply easily, which causes them to be at a great advantage and puts humans at a disadvantage.

Protozoa Primitive, single-celled, microscopic animals able to move by amoeboid action or by means of CILIA or whip-like appendages (flagella). Many protozoa are parasitic on humans and are of medical importance. These include the organisms that cause AMOEBIASIS, BALANTIDIASIS, CRYPTOSPORIDIOSIS, GIARDIASIS, ISOSPORIDIOSIS, LEISHMANIASIS, MALARIA, SLEEPING SICKNESS, TOXOPLASMOSIS and TRICHOMONIASIS.

- List of diseases caused by bacteria in humans include: Face – Acne or pimples are caused by Propionibacterium acnes. Ear: Otitis is an ear infection which caused by pneumococcus, Haemophilus influenzae, and Moraxella catarrhalis. Eyes: Conjunctivitis is an eye infection leading to soreness of eyes.ist of Diseases Caused by Bacteria & Protozoa. Infectious diseases are caused by small microbes invisible to the eye. The microbes include bacteria, protozoans, fungi, yeast and virus. Of them bacteria and protozoans are the most common disease causing agents.

8 Diseases from Protozoan Infections caused by protozoa are contagious. Those protozoa that have inhabited the human intestine can be transmitted from one human to the other via the fecal-oral route, such as through sharing food the infected person has touched and through direct person to person contact.

Parasitic disease Terminology [edit]. Although organisms such as bacteria function as parasites, the usage of the term parasitic disease is usually more restricted. The three main types of organisms causing these conditions are protozoa (causing protozoan infection), helminths (helminthiasis), and ectoparasites.

malaria Many sporozoans cause disease. Of all the diseases caused by protozoa, the deadliest is malaria, caused by the sporozoan Plasmodium. When a female Anopheles mosquito bites a human, it is able to transmit Plasmodium into the bloodstream.

- A few of the protozoa of medical importance include Plasmodium (the cause of malaria); Entamoeba histolytica (the cause of amebiasis, amebic dysentery) and Trichomonas vaginalis (a cause of vaginal infection); and Pneumocystis carinii (a common cause of pneumonia [PCP] in immunodeficient persons).

- Disease Etiology: Malaria is a protozoan disease, which are a group of eukaryotic single-celled organisms that infect humans and inhabit the body as parasites. Malaria is caused by four species of the protozoan genus Plasmodium, P falciparum, P vivax, P malariae, and P ovale.

8 Diseases from Protozoan Symptoms include mucusy stools, diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain and upset stomach. African sleeping sickness is a disease caused by the protozoa, which are carried by the tsetse fly and are transmitted to humans through tsetse fly bites. This disease is fairly damaging to the human body and can cause serious illness.richomoniasis. This disease is caused by the protozoan parasite, Trichomonas vaginalis. This disease is most commonly transmitted sexually. It is a dangerous parasite as it can also help along HIV transmission. Symptoms of this disease differ per gender.

Protozoan Diseases List Protozoa are one-celled organisms that can cause diseases ranging in severity from mild to deadly. These organisms can be classified as parasitic or free-living. Parasitic protozoa are found in organisms such as ticks, flies and mosquitoes. Free-living protozoa are found in water that is contaminated with fecal matter and other wastes.
