What are 2 diseases caused by protoza?

Answer 1

Amoebic dysentery, caused by the protozoa Entameba hystolytica, is estimated to infect 50 million people worldwide. It causes severe diarrhoea and in severe cases liver damage. Infection is spread when water is used for bathing and preparing food that is contaminated with sewage containing the cysts. The protozoa can be successfully treated with medicines but often re-infection occurs if the drinking water supply is not kept free from the Entameba.

Trypanosomiasis, or sleeping sickness, is only found in Africa and is transmited by the bite of a small insect called the tsetse fly. Several months later, the infected person starts to show symptoms including fever, rash, severe headaches and extreme tiredness. If not treated, the infection becomes more serious and eventually death can occur as the protozoa attacks the central nervous system.

Answer 2

Is there a specific classification of diseases that you are looking for? Because there are several diseases caused by protoza. One disease that is caused by a protaza is called Giardia, which causes severe intestinal disruptions, and is transmitted through contaminated water, another disease is caused by a sexually transmitted disease called Trichomonas.
