Discussion 2: Protozoan Parasites and
Disease
Although many protozoa are free-living, there are a variety of
pathogenic protozoa that parasitize animals. (Not all diseases are viral,
bacterial, or fungal.)
Initial post:
For the initial post, choose one example of a protozoan parasite and
address the following: common and binomial name of parasite, animal
hosts for the parasite, disease or condition caused by the parasite, and
common methods of transmission for the parasite. Also post a picture
(or two) of your animal.
You also need to cite your source(s) with intext citations. You should
have at least one reviewed source.
