3. Phylum: Sarcomastigophora
Common name: Red tide dinoflagellate.
Scientific name: Karenia brevis
Characteristics:
It is a marine dinoflagellate common
in gulf of Mexico waters.
It is a microscopic, single-celled,
photosynthetic organism.
Each cell has two flagella that allow it to
move through the water in spinning motion.

4. Phylum: Sarcomastigophora.
Common name: Not specified.
Scientific name: Euglena gracilis.
Characteristics:
They have secondary chloroplast and
can feed by photosynthesis, heterotrophy
and phagocytosis.
They have highly flexible cell surface,
allowing them to change shape from thin
shell upto 100 µm.

5. Phylum: Sarcomastigophora.
Common name: Green algae.
Scientific name: Volvox carteri.
Characteristics:
Colonies contain somatic cells
plus a smaller number of gametes in
female or male colonies.
V.Carteri can reproduce either
asexually or sexually.

6. Phylum: Sarcomastigophora.
Common name: Not specified.
Scientific name: Trypanosoma brucei.
Characteristics:
T.brucei is transmitted between mammal
host by an insect vector belonging to
different species of tsetse fly.
T.brucei causes African trypanosomiasis,
or sleeping sickness.

7. Phylum: Sarcomastigophora.
Common name: Amoeba.
Scientific name: Amoeba prteus.
Characteristics:
This small protozoan use s
tentacular proteubrances called
pseudopodia to move and phagocytose
smaller unicellular organisms.
It feed on other protozoans, algae,
rotifers, and even other smaller amoeba.

8. Phylum: Sarcomastigophora.
Common name: Not specified.
Scientific name: Arcella vulgaris.
Characteristics:
The length is 10-30 microns and
breadth is 3-4 microns.
It has hemispherical shell.
A.Vulgaris is a dome with a
concave small central vent
underneath.

9. Phylum: Sarcomastigophora.
Common name: Not specified.
Scientific name: Difflugia oblonga.
Characteristics:
Shell is ovoid-elongated, laterally
circular, with a smooth surface, generally
transparent in appearance, and 110 µm
long.
They are found in freshwater ponds,
ditches and bogs , also in moist soil.

10. Phylum: Sarcomastigophora.
Common name: Benthic foraminifer.
Scientific name: Ammonia tepida.
Characteristics:
Ammonia tepida is found in brackish
water s worldwide.
As it is easy to keep in the laboratory,
being able to reproduce sexually and
asexually without problem, it considered
an ideal organism for laboratory studies.

11. Phylum: Apicomplexa.
Common name: Malaria parasite.
Scientific name: Plasmodium falciparum.
Characteristics:
It causes most virulent form of malaria
in humans.
It is now mainly present in tropical and
subtropical regions.
It remains one of the greatest killer of
humanity in Africa.

12. Phylum: Apicomplexa.
Common name: Malaria parasite.
Scientific name: Plasmodium vivax.
Characteristics:
Its peroxyxomes recur after every 48
hours.
This specie occur in temperate region.
It has been cradicated in many parts of
world.

13. Phylum: Apicomplexa.
Common name: Malaria parasite.
Scientific name: Plasmodium ovale.
Characteristics:
It is the rarest of the four human
malarial species.
It is primarily tropical in distribution.
P.Ovale is less dangerous than
P.Falciparum.

14. Phylum: Microspora.
Common name: Microsporidian parasite.
Scientific name: Nosema bombicus.
Characteristics:
N.bombicus cause epidemic disease
pebrine in silkworms.
It attacks on all tissues and all
developmental stages from embryo to adult.
In advanced infections, small brown spots
cover the body of silkworm.

15. Phylum: Microspora.
Common name: Microsporidian parasite.
Scientific name: Nosema apis.
Characteristics:
It is a small, unicellular parasite recently
reclassified as a fungus that affects honey bees.
The dormant stage of N.apis is long lived
spore which is resistant to temperature
extremes and dehydration, and cannot be killed
by freezing contaminated comb.

16. Phylum: Ciliophora.
Common name: Not specified.
Scientific name: Paramecium caudatum.
Characteristics:
P.caudatum is 120-330 micrometers long.
The cell body is roughly cigar-shaped,
rounded at front, tapering at the
posterior to a blunt point.
It used cilia for locomotion and feeding.

17. Phylum: Ciliophora.
Common name: Not specified.
Scientific name: Didinum nasautum.
Characteristics:
Didinum nasautum uses specialized
structures called toxicyst to ensnare and
paralyze its prey.
Once captured, the prey is engulfed
through the didinum’s expandible
cytosome.

18. Phylum: Ciliophora.
Common name: Not specified.
Scientific name: Balantidium coli.
Characteristics:
B.coli have two developmental stages, a
trophozoite and a cyst stage.
B.coli is the only ciliated protozoan
known to infect humans.
B.coli lives in the cecum and colon of
humans, pigs, rats and other mammals.
