Parasite-An organism which obtains food and shelter from another host organism.
The larvae (immature form of the worm) of the hookworm penetrate the skin, where an itchy rash called ground itch may develop.
Man acquires the infection of round worm by swallowing the larvae, usually on contaminate food.
Tapeworm-through not sufficiently cooked pork.
Hydatid Disease-Man becomes infected after ingestion of eggs of tapeworm after contact with dogs, or via contaminated food stuffs.
Pinworm-The gravid (pregnant) female emerges from the anus and to deposit the eggs on the surrounding skin. These eggs if swallowed liberate the contained larvae which mature as they pass down the intestine.
Filariasis and malaria are spread through the mosquito bite.

There are all sorts of parasites.

Ticks you can get when you're out in marshes and swamps and stuff, or out camping in the woods.

You can get tapeworms that attach to your intestines that are sometimes over a meter long through undercooked meats and stuff.
