Trophozoite, the Glossary
A trophozoite (G. trope, nourishment + zoon, animal) is the activated, feeding stage in the life cycle of certain protozoa such as malaria-causing Plasmodium falciparum and those of the Giardia group.[1]

Apicomplexan life cycle
Apicomplexans, a group of intracellular parasites, have life cycle stages that allow them to survive the wide variety of environments they are exposed to during their complex life cycle.
See Trophozoite and Apicomplexan life cycle
Balantidiasis
Balantidiasis is a protozoan infection caused by infection with Balantidium coli.
See Trophozoite and Balantidiasis
Balantidium coli
Balantidium coli is a parasitic species of ciliate alveolates that causes the disease balantidiasis.
See Trophozoite and Balantidium coli
Giardia
Giardia is a genus of anaerobic flagellated protozoan parasites of the phylum Metamonada that colonise and reproduce in the small intestines of several vertebrates, causing the disease giardiasis.
Giardia duodenalis
Giardia duodenalis, also known as Giardia intestinalis and Giardia lamblia, is a flagellated parasitic protozoan microorganism of the genus Giardia that colonizes the small intestine, causing a diarrheal condition known as giardiasis.
See Trophozoite and Giardia duodenalis
Malaria
Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease that affects vertebrates.
Microbial cyst
A microbial cyst is a resting or dormant stage of a microorganism, that can be thought of as a state of suspended animation in which the metabolic processes of the cell are slowed and the cell ceases all activities like feeding and locomotion.
See Trophozoite and Microbial cyst
Plasmodium falciparum
Plasmodium falciparum is a unicellular protozoan parasite of humans, and the deadliest species of Plasmodium that causes malaria in humans.
See Trophozoite and Plasmodium falciparum
Protozoa
Protozoa (protozoan or protozoon; alternative plural: protozoans) are a polyphyletic group of single-celled eukaryotes, either free-living or parasitic, that feed on organic matter such as other microorganisms or organic debris.
