What are parasitic infections?
Parasites are tiny organisms that survive in the body of other organisms such as animals, birds, and humans. Some parasites can grow, reproduce and invade the host body causing parasitic infections that can even be life-threatening. Nevertheless, not all parasites are infectious. For decades, parasitic infections have been the leading cause of mortality worldwide, particularly in middle-and low-income countries. It affects people of all ages and genders, raising serious public health issues. Therefore, the public health department has to take immediate measures to contain the spread of infections to other people and to eradicate the infection.

How are parasitic infections spread?
The major transmission route of parasitic diseases is eating undercooked or raw meat or fish. Also, some infections can spread to humans through direct or close contact with animals, birds, or their excreta. Furthermore, parasitic infections get transmitted through the bite of insects such as mosquitos, ticks, flies etc.

What are the types of parasitic infections?
Parasitic diseases are ...
... predominantly caused by three organisms: protozoa, helminths and ectoparasites. Following are the primary parasitic diseases in humans.
● Protozoal infections: Malaria, cryptosporidiosis, amoebiasis, leishmaniasis, giardiasis, and trympanosomiasis (Chagas disease)
● Helminths infection: Ascariasis, enterobiasis, and trichuriasis
● Ectoparasitic diseases: Scabies, pediculosis, Filariasis, and Lyme disease.
