I assume you meant pseudoplasmodium vs plasmodium :)

Pseudoplasmodium : group of cellular slime mold cells that lives in the soil and consume bacteria
Plasmodium: It is the microorganism that causes Malaria. Mostly transmitted by mosquito bites in tropical places.

A plasmodium is an acellular slime mold structure made up of thousands of nuclei that are not confined in separate cells. Plasmodium is the genus of apicomplexan protists that causes malaria.
