Abstract-Nature inspired algorithms implement successful optimization and adaptation strategies observed in the nature. Various bio-inspired algorithms mimic the behavioural patterns of plants, animals, their communities and their evolution. Surprisingly, the behavioural patterns and survival strategies of protozoa, one of the most prevalent and successful species on Earth, did not receive significant attention from the bio-inspired computing community until present time. This study proposes a new variant of Particle Swarm Optimization incorporating behaviour inspired by protozoa and evaluates the performance of such an algorithm on a set of well known test functions.
