    Algae and Protozoa

    Uploaded by

    Mar Donna Dei Cabrera
    This document provides information on various algae and protozoa, including their modes of transmission, causes, clinical manifestations, and treatments. It begins by discussing brownian motion and true motility in microorganisms. Later sections describe specific protozoans like amoeba, giardia, cryptosporidia, trichomonas, toxoplasma, plasmodium, leishmania, and trypanosoma. For each, it outlines their causative agent, mode of transmission, associated clinical manifestations, and available treatments. The document thus serves as an informative reference on key characteristics of numerous algae and protozoan parasites.
