Are Euglenophyta disease agents?

Postby Mikey » Tue Apr 21, 2009 10:20 pm

Can 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?
