alkueläinloiset
Alkueläinloiset, or protozoan parasites, are a diverse group of single-celled eukaryotic organisms that inhabit other organisms, causing harm to their hosts. These parasites belong to the kingdom Protista and are characterized by their ability to move and reproduce independently. Their life cycles can be complex, often involving multiple hosts or different stages of development within a single host.
Common examples of alkueläinloiset include Plasmodium, the parasite responsible for malaria, which infects mosquitoes and humans.
The impact of alkueläinloiset on human and animal health can range from mild symptoms to life-threatening conditions.
