As we have already studied in Protozoan Disease -
Malaria and Amoebiasis is a type of protozoan disease.
Malaria is caused by a parasite - Plasmodium and transmitted into the human body by the bite of a female mosquito called Anopheles. Its symptoms include malarial fever, restlessness, less appetite and muscular pain.
Amoebiasis is caused by Entamoeba histolytica. It can be caused by the fecal-oral route or sexual transmission. Its symptoms include stools with blood and abdominal pain
