Abstract

The term protozoa describes heterotrophic, single-celled eukaryotes of different origin and comprises a variety of species, most of which are free-living. The term is not a category of systematics but is currently used in parasitology to distinguish single-celled parasites from multicellular parasites. One third of about 40,000 different species of protozoa have a parasitic lifestyle.
