Protozoan Cyst is a defense mechanism in the Protozoan family. It takes this form according to the conditions of the host. A change in pH, a change in oxygen supplies, anything that trigers the genetic mechanism. The cyst is evacuated trough the sediment.

You could say that Cyst are a defense mechanism. It can last days in the outside and the final intention is to get into another host.

This is not a infectious form of Protozoan, but it is a transmition form.

Protozoan cysts serve as a protective mechanism for the organism to survive in unfavorable conditions such as extreme temperatures or lack of nutrients. They allow the protozoan to remain dormant until conditions become suitable for active growth and reproduction.
