Giardiasis, an infection of the small intestine is caused by protists known as Giardia Lamblia. The disease is more common in developing countries as compared to the developed countries. It causes symptoms like cramps, diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss and other similar symptoms.
Such protist pathogens may take up animals as well as plants as hosts and, as a result, make the latter diseased. The malaria-causing protist, Plasmodium falciparum is a prominent example of pathogenic protists.
