 A weird wee beastie: Trichoplax adhaerens
One of them was initially convinced that it was indeed a large amoeba, another conjectured that it might be an early stage of a sponge or a coelenterate or more likely, in his view, a very primitive non-segmented worm.
There are reports of another organism in this group, Treptoplax reptans, but most of those who know this animal think that the second organism described is really Trichoplax.
I was almost certain that this was the right organism, but I still was puzzled about the odd "strung out" forms which I had observed and video-taped.

 eMedicine - Intestinal Protozoal Diseases : Article by Enrique Chacon-Cruz, MD
Mechanisms of diarrhea production by intestinal protozoa are related to direct cytotoxic effects, the ability to invade, and/or effects of the immune response on the intestinal epithelium.
Morphologic characteristics and laboratory techniques for observation of the protozoa are listed in Table 3.
The most important aspect of providing care for children with diarrhea caused by intestinal protozoa includes standard pediatric assessments.

There is considerable diversity among the species with respect to the four major life functions listed on the “Laboratory Study Guide” and should be kept in mind while studying this phylum.
Paramecium will be used to represent the phylum.
Compared to the other phyla, being single-celled is the only major feature that most of these species have in common.

 Invertebrata
This book is intended for the use of students who have completed a year's study of the principles of zoology and of the anatomy and physiology of a series of invertebrate types such as is provided by any of several elementary textbooks in use in this country.
Their name is now no more than a convenience for designating a group of phyla with which it is often necessary to deal as a whole.
Between the Protozoa, which are without cellular differentiation and contain a large group of photosynthetic members, and the Metazoa, in which such differentiation is always strongly marked and photosynthesis is absent, there is a gulf which is in fact far deeper than that which sunders the Protozoa from the lower plants.

 Teaching Animal Molecular Phylogenetics
HISTORY: The unique body plans of adult tongue worms led to the erection of the phylum Pentastomida.
Most of the morphological evidence placed them in Aschelminthes with rotifers and other pseudocoelomates.
Metazoans are monophyletic, and choanoflagellates may be their sister group.

The filopodial Ministeria evolved from choanoflagellates in Choanozoa.
This poster presents some preliminary results of this study and micrographs of a diversity of interesting Cercozoa.
The effect of flow rate, particularly spates of extremely high flow, on the development and persistence of biofilm communities has not been studied in any great depth to date.

 Protoctista - encyclopedia article about Protoctista. Free access, no registration needed. What does Protoctista mean? ...
The Apicomplexa are a large group of protozoa, characterized by the presence of an apical complex at some point in their life-cycle.
Many protists take the form of individual amoeboid cells, or take such a form at some stage in their life-cycle.
However, because of the ease which they may be obtained and kept in the lab, they are common objects of study, both as representative protozoa and to demonstrate cell structure and function.

 Parasitology: Parasitic Protozoa text
The Microspora have no functional mitochondria (probably a secondary loss as there is what may be a mitochondrial remnant), atypical golgi, no peroxisomes, prokaryote like ribosomal RNA and ribosomes and a very small genome.
Molecular studies indicate that they may be closer to the fungi than other protozoa.
Parasitic protozoa are in no way simple or degenerate and adaptations to parasitism frequently include complex life cycles and specialized ways of entering and maintaining themselves in their hosts.

 Kingdom (biology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
More recently, various other kingdoms have been created, and the ideal number and delineations are not settled.
When single-celled organisms were first discovered, they were split between the two kingdoms: mobile forms in the animal phylum Protozoa, and colored algae and bacteria in the plant division Thallophyta or Protophyta.
However, a number of forms were placed in both - for instance the mobile alga Euglena, and the amoeba-like slime moulds.

 Protozoa: Chilodonella salvelinus
The phylum Protozoa contains many very different organisms.
Protozoa are ubiquitous; they are present in an active state in any aquatic or moist environment, and cysts are present everywhere in the biosphere ready to give rise to active populations.

 Re: What is the smallest animal in the world?
Until the 1970s the general view was that the protozoans were animals, and as such they were placed in the animal kingdom as the phylum Protozoa.
As you can see, "animal" can define a very diverse number of living beings.
"The protozoa are a collection of single-celled eukaryotic (i.e., possessing a well-defined nucleus) organisms.

 THE PROSTISTA
Protozoa are microscopic, single-celled organisms, which sometimes form colonies.
This phylum includes both unicellular and multicellular forms.
Classification of this group of thallophytes is based on characteristics such as types of photosynthetic pigments present, the kind of reserve products (food) found in the cells and the types of reproductive patterns.

 PROTOZOA
Protozoa are thought to be the origin for the evolution of all multi-cellular organisms to which belong the plants, fungae, and animals.
This page contains links to the taxonomic systems and image galleries for the different classes of the phylum PROTOZOA.
The pages contained in this PROTOZOA section are rather thought to give some insights into this fascinating world of little creatures and to show, what enormous diversity nature was able to create from one single cell.

 Zoology
Phylum Arthropoda (articulated extremities: scorpions, crustaceans, spiders, millipedes, centipedes, insects)
A multicelled is an organism constituted by many cells, gathered structurally and functionally (functions diversification and job division).
Many "classes" were taken out from the group Protozoa for being classified as "qualified kingdoms".

 Intestinal microsporidiosis as a cause of diarrhea in human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients: a report of 20 ...
Chronic diarrhea accompanied by weight loss is a common and often debilitating problem associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
Enterocytozoon bieneusi, a newly identified species of the phylum of protozoa, Microspora, has been reported associated with chronic diarrhea and wasting in 11 acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients in the United States, Europe, and Africa.
Diagnosis has been based solely on the ultrastructural identification of this small, intracellular parasite in bowel biopsies.

The group includes some organisms which show plant affinities as well as others which show clear relationships to animals.
and some texts would place these organisms in a phylum (Protozoa) within the animal Kingdom.
We will be considering them in the same way as Campbell as several among many separate phyla within the Kingdom Protista.

 Parasites affect health and wellness www.keepblairalive.com
Medical parasitology includes study of parasites from four large phyla in the animal kingdom, namely, Protozoa (of the kingdom Protista), the Platyhelminthes (flatworms), the Nematodes (roundworms), and the Arthropoda (arachnids, crustaceans, insects, etc.).
The worms and arthropods are multicellular organisms and often large enough to be seen with the naked eye.
Without question, thousands of Viet Nam vets are still suffering from undiagnosed parasitic infections.
