Summary Introduction
To summarize: The basic features of excavates and also distinguish among diplomonads, parabasalids, and euglenoids.
Introduction: Excavata includes most primitive unicellular protists. The members of Excavata are classified on the basis of flagellar structures. Excavates include trypanosomes, euglenoids, diplomonads, and parabasalids.
