Protozoans are a group of unicellular eukaryotic (having a nucleus) organisms. Most of them are very small in size and are considered microorganisms. Many protozoans live on other organisms as parasites and cause diseases. Malaria is caused by such a protozoan called Plasmodium vivax.
Tuberculosis is caused by a bacteria. Dengue and smallpox are caused by viruses.
