However, other parasitic or symbiotic unicellular organisms were included too in protozoan groups outside Sporozoa ( Flagellata, Ciliophora and Sarcodina ), if they had flagella ( e . g ., many Kinetoplastida, Retortamonadida, Diplomonadida, Trichomonadida, Hypermastigida ), cilia ( e . g ., " Balantidium " ) or pseudopods ( e . g ., " Entamoeba, Acanthamoeba, Naegleria " ).
