MikeyParticipantCan the plant-like Protists "euglenophyta" cause disease? If so, what type?
What about the other plant-like protists? like Chrysophyta? Pyrophyta? Chlorophyta? Rhodiphyta? Phaephyta?
I forgot my Biology textbook, and I need these answers for tomorrow, I will be looking on the internet for some answers which I may need some advice on.(my apologies if this is in the wrong section)

no, i don’ think so since they are all the plant like protists, save for euglena. I don’t think Euglena would cause a disease, however. Hope that helps?

A disease causing agent is often referred to as a pathogen. A pathogen, such as a virus or a strain of bacteria can enter the body and cause a host of symptoms. Many times, these symptoms collectively indicate the presence of a type of disease and or infection.
