Parasitic disease
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A parasitic disease is a disease caused or transmitted by a parasite. Many parasites do not cause disease per se. Parasitic diseases can affect practically all living organisms, from plants to man. The study of parasitic diseases is called by parasitology.
Some parasites like Toxoplasma gondii can cause Toxoplasmosis as a parasitic disease caused by the protozoan.
The corruption to the intestinal system may weaken the system causing other complications to other diseases or drugs. It is being suggested that parasites may be the cause of diseases such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome, IBS, or Crohns Disease.
Some of the symptoms caused by parasites are due to the toxins produced by the parasites.
