Protozoan
A protozoan (plural: protozoa) is a single-celled animal-like organism — one cell that eats, moves, and multiplies like a tiny animal. Some protozoa live harmlessly in nature, but a few are parasites: they live inside the human body and cause disease. You cannot see them without a microscope.

Virus
A virus is an infectious particle far smaller than a bacterium — so small that it cannot even reproduce on its own. It is basically a parcel of genetic material (DNA or RNA) wrapped in a protein coat (and sometimes a fatty envelope). It has no machinery of its own: to multiply, it must enter one of your cells and hijack the cell's machinery. Common viral diseases: influenza (flu), herpes (cold sores, genital herpes, chickenpox/shingles), HIV/AIDS, hepatitis B and C, and the common cold.
