Ciliates are the largest group of protozoa, with over 8,000 described species. They are characterized by the presence of cilia, which they use for movement and feeding. Mastigophorans, sarcodines, and apicomplexans are all smaller groups of protozoa. Mastigophorans include flagellated protozoa, such as Giardia and Trypanosoma. Sarcodines include amoeboid protozoa, such as Amoeba and Entamoeba. Apicomplexans include parasitic protozoa that have complex organelles at one end of their cells, such as Plasmodium (the causative agent of malaria) and Toxoplasma.
