What are Sporozoans give one example?
Sporozoans are organisms that are characterized by being one-celled, non-motile, parasitic, and spore-forming. Most of them have an alternation of sexual and asexual stages in their life cycle. An example of sporozoan is the Plasmodium falciparum, which is the causative agent of malaria.
Is Plasmodium an Apicomplexa?
The Apicomplexa are a phylum of diverse obligate intracellular parasites including Plasmodium spp., the cause of malaria; Toxoplasma gondii and Cryptosporidium parvum, opportunistic pathogens of immunocompromised individuals; and Eimeria spp.
Why are Plasmodium like protozoans called Sporozoans?
The plasmodium like protozoans are called as ‘sporozoans’ because they form reproductive cells which is known as spores. EXPLANATION: The several species belonging to “obligate intracellular protozoanparasites” are classified as Sporozoans or Sporozoa.

What is the genus Trypanosoma?
Trypanosoma is a genus of kinetoplastids (class Trypanosomatidae), a monophyletic group of unicellular parasitic flagellate protozoa. Trypanosoma is part of the phylum Sarcomastigophora. The name is derived from the Greek trypano- (borer) and soma (body) because of their corkscrew-like motion.
What species is Trypanosoma?
It is generally accepted that subgenus Trypanozoon is divided into 3 species: Trypanosoma brucei, T. evansi and T. equiperdum, with T. brucei further subdivided into 3 subspecies defined by pathogenicity, distribution and host range [1].
Is Trypanosoma a genus or a species?
Trypanosoma is a genus of kinetoplastids (class Trypanosomatidae), a monophyletic group of unicellular parasitic flagellate protozoa. Trypanosoma is part of the phylum Sarcomastigophora.
What genus is Trypanosoma?
genus Trypansoma
Trypanosomes are microscopic unicellular protozoan flagellates in the genus Trypansoma. They are obligatory parasites of vertebrates, and infect fish and amphibian species, reptiles, birds and mammals. The morphology and life cycle of trypanosomes have been described by Itard (1989).
