#parasitology #parasiticinfections #parasites
A parasite is an organism that lives on or inside another organism (the host) and benefits (for example, by getting nutrients) from the host at the host's expense.
Parasitic infections are common in rural or developing areas of Africa, Asia, and Central and South America and are less common in developed areas. A person who visits such an area can unknowingly acquire a parasitic infection, and a doctor may not readily diagnose the infection when the person returns home. In developed areas, parasitic infections may affect immigrants and people with a weakened immune system (such as those who have AIDS or who take drugs that suppress the immune system—called immunosuppressants). Parasitic infections may occur in places with poor sanitation and unhygienic practices (as occurs in some mental institutions and day care centers).
Some parasites are common in the United States and other developed countries. Examples are pinworms and the protozoa that cause trichomoniasis (a sexually transmitted disease), toxoplasmosis, and the intestinal infections giardiasis and cryptosporidiosis.
