- Entamoeba histolytica
- Non-pathogenic: other Entamoeba species
- Facultative parasites (that are also free-living)
- Obligate parasites
- Flagellates

- Pathogenic: Giardia lamblia and Dientamoeba fragilis
- Non-pathogenic: Chilomastix mesnili
- Non-kinetoplastic blood and tissue flagellates
- Pathogenic: Trichomonas vaginalis
- Non-pathogenic: Trichomonas tenax and Pentatrichomonas hominis
- Kinetoplastic flagellates: flagellated protozoa with DNA inside large mitochondria at one end
- Trypanosoma species
- Trypanosoma cruzii: causes American trypanosomiasis
- Trypanosoma brucei: causes human African trypanosomiasis
