A parasitic disease , also known as parasitosis , is an infectious disease caused by parasites .[citation needed Parasites are organisms which derive sustenance from its host while causing it harm.[1] parasitology .[2] protozoa , helminths , and parasitic arthropods .[1] pathogens belonging taxonomically to either the animal kingdom , or the protozoan kingdom .[3]
Terminology [ edit ]
Although organisms such as bacteria function as parasites, the usage of the term "parasitic disease" is usually more restricted. The three main types of organisms causing these conditions are protozoa (causing protozoan infection ), helminths (helminthiasis ), and ectoparasites .[4] [3] [5]
Transmission [ edit ]
Mammals can get parasites from contaminated food or water , bug bites , sexual contact ,[6]
Some ways in which people may acquire parasitic infections are walking barefoot , inadequate disposal of feces , lack of hygiene , close contact with someone carrying specific parasites, and eating undercooked foods, unwashed fruits and vegetables or foods from contaminated regions.[citation needed
Treatment [ edit ]
Parasitic infections can usually be treated with antiparasitic drugs .[citation needed The use of viruses to treat infections caused by protozoa has been proposed.[7] [8]
