The team found that chronic infection with a parasite similar to roundworm “restored the mucus and cell morphology within the small intestines.” They also suggested that IBD is becoming more common as parasitic infections wane in the developed world.
Disadvantages-
Some plants are parasitic (i.e. Mistletoe) and other plants are parasitized. Many human diseases are caused by parasites (malaria, sleeping sickness etc) so this is clearly a disadvantage but humans can use parasites to their benefit. Many biological controls involve the use of parasites.
