Protists are unicellular organisms that are not animals, fungi or plants. Instead, they are a diverse group of eukaryotic microorganisms. Protists tend to remain in environments containing liquid water. Their natural function of these organisms is to serve as primary producers in ecosystems, especially in oceans. On the other hand, they also cause certain diseases in humans. Malaria is an infectious disease caused by protists of the Plasmodium genus. This mosquito-borne disease is prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions, particularly the areas below the Sahara Dessert in Africa.
Pathogenic diseases are caused by what is called a pathogen. Pathogens are parasitic organisms that cause disease int heir host.There are five different groups of pathogens: â¦ Viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoans and parasitic worms.Deficiency diseases are just as the name suggests. They are caused by a deficiency of a particular nutrient in the diet.Hereditary diseases are passed on through generations via their genes. For example, haemophilia and sickle cell disease.here are five different groups of pathogens: â¦ Viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoans and parasitic worms. Deficiency diseases are just as the name suggests. They are caused by a deficiency of a particular nutrient in the diet. Hereditary diseases are passed on through generations via their genes.
