👉 Pseudocercariae are a group of protozoan parasites that infect humans, causing various infections including malaria. These parasites are known for their ability to survive in the environment and replicate without the need for an endosymbiotic process, making them unique in their evolutionary history. The term "pseudocercariae" comes from the Latin word "pseudo," which means "false," as they resemble real forms of parasites but do not actually cause any disease or harm to humans.
