A parasite is an organism that lives in another organism, called the host, and often harms it. It depends on its host for survival.

Facts for parasites:-

Parasites live on or in other organisms and thrive to the detriment of their host.

  • Many different parasites can affect humans, and they can pass on diseases such as malaria and trichomoniasis.
  • Ensuring that food is fully cooked, using insect repellant, and following good hand hygiene rules can reduce the risk of getting parasites.

● The three types of parasites are:-

☆ ᴘʀᴏᴛᴏᴢᴏᴀ: Protozoa is an informal term for a group of single-celled eukaryotes, either free-living or parasitic, which feed on organic matter such as other microorganisms or organic tissues and debris.

☆ Hᴇʟᴍɪɴᴛʜs : Helminth is a general term meaning worm. The helminths are invertebrates characterized by elongated, flat or round bodies. In medically oriented schemes the flatworms or platyhelminths (platy from the Greek root meaning “flat”) include flukes and tapeworms.

☆ Eᴄᴛᴏᴘᴀʀᴀsɪᴛᴇs : These live on, rather than in their hosts. They include lice and fleas.
