They transmit themselves with the help of vector tsetse fly and causes African sleeping sickness. Dinoflagellates comprisea large group of flagellated eukaryotes. Dinoflagellates are mostly marine planktons but they are found infreshwater also. Nematodes comprise phylum Nematoda. They are also called roundworms.
