8 State the following statements are true (T) or false (F) Protozoa reproduce asexually by fission (mitosis), budding, or schizogony. Trophozoites are passed in feces, resistant and considered the infective stage. Infection by Giardia lamblia occurs by ingestion of mature cysts in fecally contaminated food, water, or hands. Intestinal disease of Entamoeba histolytica produces abscesses that result in liver dysfunction, pneumonitis and encephalitis. Most protozoa have two stages trophozoite and cyst. The cyst is responsible for feeding, motility and reproduction. Infection by Entamoeba histolytica occurs by ingestion of mature cysts in fecally contaminated food, water or hands. Acute infection by Giardia lamblia can cause sudden explosive, bloody diarrhea. ٨
