PARASITOLOGY

WHAT IS PARASITOLOGY?

Parasitology is the study of parasites.

Medical parasitology is the study of parasites that cause human infection and diseases.

Now what is a PARASITE?

Parasite is derived from the greek word Parasitos which means 'one who lives at others expense'. In other words parasite is a living organism which receives nourishment and shelter from other organisms where it lives. The organism on which it lives to take shelter and food is called HOST.

A parasite can either be an 'ectoparasite or an endoparasite

ECTOPARASITE ENDOPARASITE
Lives on the surface of the host without penetrating the tissues e.g. Lice, ticks, mites etc. Lives within the body of the host e.g. Liver fluke, Tapeworm, Entamoeba, Trypanosoma etc.



Name of some of the parasites and the disease caused by it:

Entamoeba histolytica amoebiasis
Leishmania donovani visceral leishmaniasis, kala azar
Trypanosoma cruzi chagas disease, american sleeping sickness
Trypanosoma brucei gambiense gambian sleeping sickness
Taenia solium taeniasis
Fasciola hepatica fascioliasis, liver rot in sheep
Ascaris ascariasis
Wuchereria bancrofti filariasis, elephentiasis
