What Are the Most Common Human Parasites?

Human parasites are parasites that use humans as hosts. Can be divided into two major categories of internal and external parasites. Most belong to protozoa, linear animals, flat animals, link animals and arthropods. In parasitology, it is customary to refer to protozoa as protozoa, and linear and flat animals as Helminthes. The important species of internal parasites are mostly included in protozoa, nematodes, trematodes and tapeworms.

Human parasite

St. Vincent Hospital in Melbourne, Australia, received a special patient who had two parasites that add up to nearly 1 meter in length. The two parasites stayed in him for many years.
The patient was reported to be a Sudanese immigrant. Darby, an infectious disease specialist at St. Vincent's Hospital, said the man had a large lump on his head and had started to have pus.
According to reports, X-ray inspection revealed that the man had two spaghetti-shaped guinea worms hidden in his calf and feet, each of which was several tens of centimeters long, and such parasites were common in Africa.
Darby said that guinea worms have many infectious diseases and have previously caused illness by drinking water containing such eggs. When these parasites enter the human intestinal tract, they migrate toward the surface of the skin and usually stay in the lower limbs of the human body. After being infected with such parasites, patients often feel a strong burning sensation in their feet. At this time, they want to immerse their feet in cold water to ease the pain.
It is reported that the parasite on the man's foot has been removed through surgery and his body has recovered. ^[2]
