Does parasites reproduce through spores

Some parasites do reproduce through spores, particularly those in the group of protozoa and certain fungi. For example, the protozoan parasites of the genus Plasmodium, which cause malaria, can produce spore-like forms during their life cycle. Additionally, some fungal parasites, like those in the genera Chytridiomycota, can also reproduce using spores. However, not all parasites utilize spore reproduction, as many have different reproductive strategies.
