Phylogeneic tree is used to build using this principle. Monophyleic taxa is the only taxa that is used in classiicaion. Monophyleic taxon is one that includes one ancestral taxon and all of its descendent. Cladograms are phylogeneic tree made up of clades. This is an idea type of taxonomic grouping because it shows the evoluionary relatedness. Contains an ancestor and some but not all descendants. They are important disease causing organisms that afect humans in serious ways. Most common intesinal parasite in north america. If you drink the cold water in parts of north america, you can ingest this proista. The efect is that you can vomit and have stomach pain and diarrhea as well. It can alter its surface protein to evade your immune system therefore you can have chronic or recurrent infecions. It is transmited through a ly called tsetse ly, paricularly in africa.
