    The protozoa are considered as single-celled organisms which have adapted to different natural habitats, mainly water, largely drinking water that is why the human being must carry out hygienic-sanitary measures that make possible optimal conditions for the same, that is; free of microorganisms and protozoa in question such as Blastocystis spp, free-living amoebas and coccidia, in order to prevent the presence of diseases and infections by the consumption of contaminated water. Therefore it is sought to determine emerging and opportunistic protozoa in water samples of the University of Santander Campus Cúcuta. To achieve this, samples were taken from different drinking water supply points on the university campus, and different laboratory procedures were performed such as filtration, culture media, stains and fresh observations under the microscope in order to observe said microorganisms mentioned above. Based on this of 137 samples analyzed, 78 samples were positive for coccidia, together with more than 65% of the samples positive for Blastocystis spp, therefore, the presence of these microorganisms found indicates the lack of treatments at the different supply points of The institution's water, in turn, would be considered microorganisms that indicate water quality.
