Parasitic Diseases

Parasitic diseases are caused by parasites such as protozoa, helminths, and ectoparasites. These diseases can lead to significant health issues including malnutrition, organ damage, and weakened immunity. Common parasitic diseases include malaria, amoebiasis, and schistosomiasis. Diagnosis often involves blood, stool, or urine tests, with treatment typically involving antiparasitic medications.
