Whereas some protist species are essential components of the food chain and generators of biomass, others function in the decomposition of organic materials. Still other protists are dangerous human pathogens or causative agents of devastating plant diseases.

Autotrophs (a.k.a producers) are organisms that use energy directly from the sun or from chemical bonds. Heterotrophs (a.k.a consumers) are organisms that obtain energy from other living things.

In about 30 percent of cases, however, the trypanosome causes further damage, especially to the heart and digestive system tissues in the chronic phase of infection, leading to malnutrition and heart failure due to abnormal heart rhythms.

It has gossamer-like “wings” that flutter gently and help it swim, and its diaphanous body gives it an otherworldly appearance. Although it appears angelic, this tiny invertebrate is actually a vicious predator.
