Common parasites in people

Various parasites can live in humans.These can be not only multicellular and protozoa, but also viruses, bacteria and fungi.They parasitize at the expense of the human body.Harmful microorganisms can live not only in the intestines, but also in muscles, blood, etc.Pest control should begin as early as possible.Otherwise, complications cannot be avoided.

Types of parasites

There are many parasitic organisms that feel comfortable in the human body.They all have characteristic features.

Roundwall

Round or nematodes include around 1,000 subspecies in their group.The best known representatives are oxygers, trichinelles, toxocara, ankylostomas, necateurs and ascaria.They enter the body through the mouth or the skin.The main representatives of roundworms are described in the table.

Parasite	Description
Pinworms	It is a round green whose length does not exceed 2 to 12 mm.The females are generally larger.These representatives parasitize the low intestine and the large intestine.Adult females lay in the perianal region.Most often, these representatives are in children.The eggs fall on the patient's hands when he scratches the anus, which itching in the presence of such parasites.Itching is one of the first symptoms.
Trichinella	Trichinella belongs to nematodes.Parasites enter the body with poorly processed meat.After their entry into the body, complete intoxication begins.In advanced cases, parasites can cause death in humans.
Toxocker	This parasite often lives in the body of animals, including livestock.Toxocariasis is very subject to small children.The parasite multiplies extremely quickly, so the treatment must be started immediately.
Anquilostom	It is believed that every 4th person on the planet is a carrier of this parasite.An adult can live in the body of an 8-year-old carrier.With proper and timely treatment, it is possible to cure 95% of Anquilost's 100 patients.The parasite enters the body with infected soil.
Non-ore	These representatives are small.Their length reaches up to 2 cm.During the day, the female pest lays up to 10,000 eggs.In the external environment, parasite larvae fall out with feces.
Askarides	Ascarids can reach one length up to 35 cm.First of all, the parasite develops in the small intestine, then spread throughout the body.So that individuals become sexually mature by a second entering the body.

After the penetration of roundworms in the human body, the process of developing pathological symptoms begins.The intestinal walls are inflamed and, for this reason, the performance of the digestive system is disturbed.The body parasites are a serious danger.They absorb part of the nutrients.

Ribbon verse

The lines of the ribbon or the cestodes present in the body lead to the appearance of a cistosis.Adults are only in the intestines.The larvae are able to spread throughout the body.A person can be infected with the following bandworms:

1. Large ribbon.It is the longest helminthe in the world.He is able to go to 15-17 meters.Large diet causes significant damage to the human body.Instead of his attachment, the wounds are formed.
2. Bull's bull.This is another large parasite that negatively affects human health.It is most often located in the small intestine.The infection occurs when the infected meat is used, which has been poorly treated thermally.
3. Pork tenia.The chain can reach several meters in length.The carriers of the pest can be wild and domestic pigs.
4. Echinococcus.Eggs enter the environment with fecal masses.Infection often occurs with non-compliance with the rules of personal hygiene.
5. Alveokokk.In length, the parasite reaches 2.2 mm.The infection occurs by food products contaminated by infected excrement.

Pathology is mainly manifested by gastrointestinal tract disorders.A nervous activity disorder appears.Human well-being is constantly deteriorating.

SAS workers

Ensalters are flat worms.They are one of the most dangerous representatives.Almost all saucers are parasitized in the owner's body.It is only in a certain stage of development that they change the owner.

The owner's change excludes probable overcrowding in the owner's body.The most common representatives of saucers include:

1. Siberian saucer.Infection occurs when fish, which has undergone insufficient heat treatment.It is in the fecal masses of a person that the eggs of this pest are contained.In length, the parasite reaches 13 mm.The body is almost completely transparent.
2. Liver double water.A parasite capable of infecting both animals and people.An adult reaches a maximum of 8 cm.An infection is possible when dirty plants are used, on which a bicentral cost is already located in their intermediate form.There is also a risk of infection through water.
3. Schistosom.If left untreated, schistosoma can cause sudden death of the patient.For a person, only 6 varieties of this parasite are dangerous.The microorganism can be located in blood vessels, bladder.Infection often occurs when bathing in fresh water.
4. Clonorchis.People working in public catering areas are subject to infection.Clonorchis occurs most often in men over 35 years old.They are at risk.The parasitic eggs are released with the feces.

Most often, parasites enter the body when eating raw or poorly thermally processed fish.Another common option is the presence of poorly washed vegetables and fruits in the diet.

Trematodes

It is one of the varieties of flatworms.Their main characteristic is the presence of suction cups.Trematodes include:

1. Opisthorchiasis.The source of infection is raw or poorly cooked fish.The symptoms are nonspecific, so it is quite difficult to diagnose the disease.The outcome is most often unfavorable.
2. Fascioliasis.If infected, the liver and biliary system are damaged.A characteristic sign of human infection is a sharp increase in body temperature up to 39-40 degrees.
3. Dicroceliosis.Helminthiasis, whose causal agent is the lanceolate moat.In the event of pathology, additional damage to liver and gallbladder occur.

The parasite is widespread worldwide and poses a serious threat to livestock and humans.

Protozoa

Protozoan parasites include single-celled pests.Some of the representatives are the oldest inhabitants of Earth.Parasites successfully adapt to new conditions and reproduce thanks to their simple structure.The pest can live both in the skin and directly in the human body.

The movement of single-celled organisms can be carried out using cilia, flagella and pseudopodia.Types of these parasites include:

1. Flaglés.They have an oval or pear -shaped body.The main difference is the presence of flagelles.Their number can be 1 to 8. The parasite absorbs food over the entire surface of the body.Infection can occur by insect bites, poor personal hygiene and promiscuity.
2. Sporozoa.They are able to live in different human organs.The feeding, breathing and release of waste is carried out on the entire surface of the body of the harmful body.
3. Ciliated.They are ciliated parasites or suckers.They live in fresh and soil waters.
4. Sarkodov.The parasite consists of a single cell.Some varieties of sarcodes are capable of living in human teeth if hygiene is insufficient.

Unicellular organizations can cause a number of dangerous diseases, including malaria, amibiase, giardiase, etc.Infection is possible by domestic, fecal-oral contact, by contaminated products, as well as by transmission.

Protozoa are infections caused in humans by the activity of protozoal microorganisms.Animals are also sensitive to pathologies.The pathologies they cause also include fungal infections.

In most cases, protozoan organizations come from animals and come from animals.They can also penetrate by water, soil and from one person to another.

Ectoparasites

Ectoparasites are parasites that live on the surface of the body and on external organs.They can be a provocative of skin diseases.In addition, ectoparasites have various infections.

The group of ectoparasites includes:

1. Lice.It's a blood-sucking parasite.The oral organ easily pierces human skin.If necessary, lice can resist fasting for several days.Lice can be body lice or head lice.Lice represent a serious danger because they can carry infectious diseases.
2. Chip.They are temporary ectoparasites.Transmitted from person to animal and vice versa.They confer severe discomfort for stings.
3. Ixodic ticks.Unlike other ectoparasites, it is easy to get rid of the tick.To do this, use vegetable oil or paraffin.The main thing is to take the check extracted for the exam.This will help ensure that he is not an infection carrier

Most often, ectoparasites affect animals, but human infection is also possible, for example, with ticks or lice.PEST BOOD.They differ in high reproduction speed.

Helminths

At the moment, experts distinguish 280 types of worms.All of them are capable of living and developing in the human body.It is a mistake to believe that helminthiasis occurs only in people from dysfunctional families.Worms can occur even in wealthy people who carefully monitor their hygiene.

Helmants can be infected in different ways.Parasites can translate from animals, from humans to humans, as well as in contact with infected land.Most often, worms appear in children.This is due to non-compliance with preventive measures.

The first symptoms may not appear immediately.They may occur after 2 to 3 days or several weeks.It all directly depends on which parasites entered the body.Helminthosis can be acute and chronic.

Classification of parasites

All parasites are divided into cash.There are large groups on:

• mode of infection;
• Location method;
• Biological characteristics.

Each of the groups has its own characteristics.

By type of location

A temporary, stationary and transit form of location is distinguished.In the first case, the parasite lives in the owner's body only at a certain stage of development.In a stationary form, pests are constantly in the human body.The transitional form is the period of migration of the parasite towards the habitat.

In treatment, doctors always take into account not only the form of the parasite, but also the place of its residence.In total, pests are divided into 2 main categories.Parasites living on the skin are ectoparasites.Pests that have settled inside the owner belong to endoparasites.

Internal parasites, in turn, are divided into 2 categories - tissue parasites and parasites of the abdominal organs.There are also atypical forms.In this case, pests are located in unusual places for them.

External parasites can be temporary and constant.Those who feed on blood through bites are temporary.They can cause infections.The remaining parasites violate the integrity of the skin.

There are also intracellular pests.These include, for example, the malaria plasmodium.

By infection method

Parasites can also be classified according to the infection method.We distinguish the following methods of penetration:

1. Contact and cleaning.In this case, parasites penetrate following violations of health and hygienic standards.
2. Fecal-oral.In this case, infection occurs through dirty hands as well as poor-quality products.
3. Transmission routes.Infection occurs by hematophagous insects.
4. Active paths.This is the name of the method of infection by which parasites reach the owner in the larval stage.

Thanks to the large number of inputs, you can be infected with anywhere.Only preventive measures reduce the risk of infection.

Depending on the biological characteristics

Depending on their biological characteristics, parasites are divided into two categories: unicellular and multicellular.The first group includes sporozoa, ciliates, flagellated and histological amoebas.The main method of infection is to ignore the rules of personal hygiene.

Multicellular parasites typically include worms, insects and arachnids.The danger of infection, for example with helminths, is that the worms damage internal tissues and organs.

The most common multicellular parasites are the worms.

Multicellular parasites are more dangerous.They are characterized by a rapid reproduction rate and a complex life cycle.

Where can you find parasites?

Some parasites can live in specific parts of the body, while others can spread throughout the body.Dialing a parasitic infection is quite difficult.

Roundworms live mainly in the digestive tract.The infection occurs by the consumption of unwanted foods.

Parasites can be found under human skin.These representatives include Rishta.The pest enters the body, drinking raw water.Tourists who go on vacation in countries where Guinea's worm is widespread are often infected.

The internal organs are affected by trematodes.They can live in the liver, pancreas, intestines and bile ducts.The main source of infection is the consumption of raw fish.

There are also tissue microorganisms.They can live in the spinal cord, muscles and connective tissues.Domestic animals are the main source of infection.

There are also eye parasites.They can be round, flat, ringed or with a spiny head.The main source of infection is improper heat treatment of fish or contact with infected animals.

The danger of a parasitic infection for humans

Any parasitic infection requires immediate treatment.The sooner the treatment started, the faster the parasites will be eliminated and less complications will arise.

Parasites in the human body can cause serious pathologies:

1. Some pests lead to the development of an acute form of colitis.The condition is significantly worsened if the patient has an ulcer.There may be blood in the stool, which can lead to anemia.Treatment should be started as early as possible.
2. Parasites can take up residence in the brain or liver.This condition can be dangerous not only for health, but also for the life of the patient.If infected, there is a risk of developing a cyst.
3. Parasites living in the intestines can disturb its integrity.In addition, there is a risk of obstruction.
4. The parasites take a blow to the human immune system.Leukocytes and red blood cells are destroyed.This almost instantly affects a person's general well-being.
5. Parasites absorb nutrients from the human body.The risk of developing thyroid diseases and anemia increases.In addition, the condition of hair and nail plates deteriorates.
6. The body is poisoned by toxic components.Parasites waste is toxic to humans.The more there are, the more the well-being of a person deteriorates.The risk of developing allergies, asthma increases and asthma attacks are also likely.

Parasites represent a particular danger for children.The infection results in a large number of unpleasant symptoms.The child loses appetite, body weight decreases, apathy and fatigue appear.The baby can cry frequently and become restless.Visible dark circles appear before the eyes.

The child is at the stage of growth, it is therefore important for him to receive a sufficient amount of nutrients.In the presence of parasites in the body, it is impossible.The baby's condition worsened quickly every day.The child can be late in development.

The danger of parasites is that they can live in a person for months and years, without making themselves felt.During this time, he will significantly weaken, experience a lack of nutrients.Complete exhaustion possible.Only timely treatment helps to prevent it.

Factors contributing to infection

Often, people themselves are to blame for the appearance of worms.There are a number of factors that increase the likelihood of pests.These include:

• Refusal to wash hands before eating food;
• infection with dirty shoes;
• ignore signs of worms in pets;
• the use of raw water;
• consumption of unwashed fruits and vegetables;
• Thermal ill -treatment of meat and fish;
• eat frequently in the street;
• Weakening of immunity after taking strong medications.

Previously, parasitic eggs enter the intestines.After that, they are absorbed in the blood circulation and the larvae are transported throughout the body.

The fastest parasites spread in groups of large children.This is due to ignorance of hygiene rules and too close contact.

Symptoms of parasites in the human body

It is important to know that sometimes parasites cannot be shown at all for a long time.Symptoms are often common and the first time is almost invisible.

The first symptoms of parasites in the body are a rapid and causeless loss of body weight, as well as the appearance of an itching sensation in the anus.You can only make sure that the parasitic infections are due to the diagnosis.Symptoms of infection often include various nervous system disorders and general weakness in the body.

A person who has parasites suffers from a lack of vitamins.This contributes to the appearance of fatigue, severe drowsiness and constant apathy.

If pests live in the intestines, then the emergence of problems with the digestive system is inevitable.Diarrhea may alternate with constipation.There is a risk of increased gas formation and painful sensation in the right hypochondrium.

In the presence of parasites in humans, body protection functions are reduced.Due to poor immunity, there is a risk of various infectious diseases.

One of the brightest signs of parasites is the spontaneous appearance of signs of allergies.Additionally, allergic rhinitis or an impenetrable dry cough may begin to bother.

Diagnosis of Helminthiasis

It is only after the diagnosis and confirmation of the presence of worms that can be processed.In order to check in the presence of parasites, doctors use different diagnostic methods:

1. Macroscopic.For him, the patient's excrement is taken for analysis.As an additional equipment, a microscope or a magnifying glass is used.This method is used to search for pine or ascaris worms.
2. Microscopic.To do this, a thick smear is taken, which is examined in more detail on a special membrane.
3. Immunological.In this case, antibodies are looking for antibodies to one or the other type of helminths.This method is used to search for a large number of different parasites.
4. Biopsy.The presence of worms is determined by the study of muscle tissue.
5. Instrumental.These methods are used to determine how internal organs and tissues are damaged by parasites.These methods include ultrasound, x-rays, CT scan.

Treatment of infection with parasites

To eliminate parasites, you can prefer medicinal methods and folk methods.It is best to combine them.In this case, the effectiveness of therapy will be most pronounced and fastest.

Treatment is selected individually.The most effective therapy is selected by a doctor, taking into account all the features that are present in a particular patient.

Folk remedies for parasites in the human body

Popular treatment methods are no less effective than medications.Their main advantage is complete safety for the patient.

One of the best medicines is garlic juice.It contains phytoncides.It is they who destroy pests in the body.The juice is taken three times a day.Start with 5 drops per day.Little by little, the dose is increased.

Another effective tool is green wood dyeing.Like garlic, he has phytoncides.To prepare the medication, 1 tablespoon of wood is mixed with 100 ml of alcohol.The drug insists in a dark place for a week.Take 20 drops 3 times a day.The dye is used 20 minutes before eating.

It is useful to include a large quantity of carrots in your diet and drink your juice.He is detrimental to parasites.It is recommended to have 1 glass of fresh carrot juice 30 minutes before meals.

Plant decoctions are perfectly affected by the body.To prepare a product from parasites, 1 tablespoon is mixed with 1 tablespoon.Tansy, Wormwood Wormwood, Aspen Bark.All the components are poured with a glass of water and brought to a boil.Take after cooling.They use a decoction 3 times a day for 125 ml before meals.

The main drawback of folk therapy is that certain drugs can cause an allergic reaction in the event of intolerance to specific components.In this case, you will need to revise your therapy and find a decoction or a dye that do not include allergens in their composition.

There is also an opinion that to fight with a small number of parasites, it is enough to revise your diet.In the menu you must include:

• pumpkin seeds;
• raw fruits and vegetables;
• coconut and pineapple;
• Chile;
• garlic;
• Various vegetable oils.

All of these products negatively affect the activities of parasites.

Drug treatment of parasites

Drug treatment is more effective.The main thing is to take all the drugs considered.It is important to know that they are powerful, so their use is possible only after preliminary consultation with a doctor.

Self-medication with worms is strictly prohibited.There is a risk that the patient will worsen his own well-being by using medications that are necessary in a particular case.

Prevention of paizit in the human body

It is easier to prevent the appearance of parasitic microorganisms than to fight them in the future.Everyone must join the existing security measures.For this, it is recommended:

• use only purified water for washing products and drinking;
• Do not use the hygiene articles of others;
• Give animals medication for parasites for prevention;
• abandon the use of dirty fruits and vegetables;
• Refuse the use of raw fish.

The diagnosis is periodically necessary to ensure that there are no harmful microorganisms.Subject to preventive measures, the risk of infection is minimal.It is particularly important to ensure that children join the recommendations.They are in the main risk group.
