The Apicomplexa are a large group of protozoa, characterized by the presence of an apical complex at some point in their life-cycle. They are exclusively parasitic, and completely lack flagella or pseudopods except for certain gamete stages. Diseases caused by Apicomplexa include: ...more on Wikipedia about "Apicomplexa"

Cryptosporidiosis is a parasitic disease affecting the intestines of mammals that is caused by Cryptosporidium, a protozoan parasite in the phylum Apicomplexa. It is a disease spread through the fecal-oral route; the main symptom is self-limiting diarrhea in people with intact immune system. In immunocompromised individuals, such as AIDS patients, infection can cause permanent & life-threatening diarrhea. Despite not being identified until 1976 it is one of the most common waterborne diseases and is found worldwide. The disease and parasite name are sometimes abbreviated to just Crypto. ...more on Wikipedia about "Cryptosporidiosis"

Malaria ,derived from mala aria ( Italian: "bad air") and formerly called ague or marsh fever in English) is an infectious disease which causes about 350-500 million infections with humans and approximately 1.3 million deaths annually, mainly in the tropics. Sub-Saharan Africa accounts for 85% of these fatalities. ...more on Wikipedia about "Malaria"
A merozoite is a daughter cell of protozoan parasites. Merozoites are the result of asexual reproduction (schizogony, merogony). – In coccidiosis merozoites form the first phase of the internal life cycle of coccidian. ...more on Wikipedia about "Merozoite"
Perkinsus marinus is a prevalent pathogen of oysters, causing massive mortality in oyster populations. The disease it causes is known as "Dermo", and is characterized by proteolytic degradation of oyster tissues. Due to its negative impact on the oyster industry, parasitologists interested in helping oyster farmers are trying to find novel strategies to combat the disease. P. marinus are found in marine water, and grow especially well in warm waters during the summer months. ...more on Wikipedia about "Perkinsus marinus"
The Plasmodiidae are a family of apicomplexan parasites, including the genus Plasmodium, which is responsible for malaria. They are given their own order, Haemosporida. ...more on Wikipedia about "Plasmodiidae"
'Plasmodium' is a genus of parasitic protozoa, four species of which cause malaria in humans. Other species infect other animals, including birds, reptiles and rodents. In 1898 Ronald Ross demonstrated the existence of Plasmodium in the stomach of the Anopheles mosquito. For this discovery he won the Nobel Prize in 1902. However some credit must also be given to the Italian professor, Giovanni Battista Grassi, who showed that human malaria could only be transmitted by Anopheles mosquitoes. ...more on Wikipedia about "Plasmodium"

Plasmodium falciparum is a protozoan parasite, one of the species of Plasmodium that cause malaria in humans. It is transmitted by Anopheles mosquitoes. P. falciparum is the most dangerous of these infections as P. falciparum malaria has the highest rates of complications and mortality. In addition it accounts for 80% of all human malarial infections and 90% of the deaths. It is more prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa than in other regions of the world. ...more on Wikipedia about "Plasmodium falciparum"

Plasmodium malariae is a parasitic protozoa that causes quartan malaria in humans. It is closely related to Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax which are responsible for most malarial infection. Quartan malaria is a so-called " benign malaria" and is not nearly as dangerous as that produced by P. falciform or P. vivax. ...more on Wikipedia about "Plasmodium malariae" This text is made on shortopedia
