Summary Introduction

To enlist:

A disease caused by each of the four types of protozoa.

Concept introduction:

All protozoan organisms are commonly unicellular organisms that can be categorized into three groups on the basis of their mode of motility-pseudopodia-using sarcodina, cilia-using ciliophora, and flagella-using mastigophora. Non-motile protozoa are called sporozoa. Protozoa are dependent on locomotion for their transmission to host organisms, and also for feeding.
