Name some internal parasites that live in the human body?

Answer 1

symbiotic parasites living in your intestines

Answer 2

Not mentioned above is perhaps the most common parasite in human history - MALARIA - which infects red blood cells and has been problematic from ancient times until the present.

Data from the present :
Malaria is an infectious disease caused by protozoan parasites. It is widespread in tropical and subtropical regions including parts of the Americas, Asia, and Africa. Each year it causes disease in approximately 650 million people and kills between one and three million.

Answer 3

Almost everyone has parasites. It’s simply a fact of life. Even Dr. Oz, the now famous Oprah Winfrey guest says..."ninety percent of humans will have a problem with parasites in their lifetime." Parasites are not just something that other people get – a malady reserved for citizens of developing countries. Everywhere we go, during just about everything we do, North Americans are vulnerable to parasitic infestation.

The World Health Organization (WHO) classifies parasites as among the six most dangerous diseases that infect humans. Parasites outrank cancer as the number one global killer, and account for many of the digestive woes from which people suffer.



A Few Parasitic Stats
The CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention) estimates that over sixty million people in the United States are likely infected with Toxoplasma gondii, a parasite associated with raw meat and contact with cat feces.1

In 2003, a report on food borne parasites prepared for the Food Research Institute at the University of Wisconsin–Madison cited an estimated two and a half million cases of food and waterborne Giardia lamblia and three million cases of Cryptosporidium parvum in the U.S. alone.2 Both protozoan parasites are transmitted through drinking water contaminated with the fecal material of infected persons.

And while only a minimal number of cases are detected and reported, some estimate that approximately fifty million American children are infected with worm parasites.3



Why Are Parasites So Prevalent?
Your intestines provide the perfect breeding ground for parasites, who enjoy making their homes nestled within impacted waste as well as in the linings of colon walls. Living inside our intestines, these microorganisms gain the upper hand by virtue of their sheer numbers – both in kind and in population. They thrive because of the unique ways in which they have adapted their life cycles in order to ensure the perpetuation of their species within their unsuspecting hosts: us.

The three major groups of parasites include protozoans (single-celled organisms), nematodes (roundworms), and cestodes (tapeworms). There are numerous parasites common to North America ranging from microscopic protozoans and Cyclospora cayetanensis – sometimes called the yuppie disease because of outbreaks in the United States resulting from fecally-contaminated imported raspberries – to macroscopic multi-cellular worms and nematodes such as hookworm, pinworm, and whipworm.
