Introduction to parasitology


According
to Cunningham, no biological group is of medical importance than parasitism. Parasites
plague humanity and are the root cause of many diseases. The term parasite has
been used to described organism which lives in (endoparasite or on ectoparasites)
another organism (its host) and benefits by deriving nutrients at it’s host
expense hereby causing harm to the host. There are different types of parasite
which includes the ectoparasite, endoparasite, facultative parasite, ectopic
parasite, obligation parasite etc.

Broadly speaking,
all pathogens may e classified as parasite because they are invade and attack
on the cell and tissues of organisms. Examples are bacteria viruses rickettsia
fungi and certain helminthes comprehensive, parasitology as defined as the
study of parasite their host and the relationship between them is a branch of
medicine that is concerned with parasitic organisms. As a biological discipline
and draws on techniques form fields such as biochemistry, biology, evolution
and ecology.
Thus
parasitology covers a wide range of topic which centre around parasite their
taxonomy, structural and physiological, biology, life cycle patterns and
ecology in order to reduce a proper understanding of these existing but
disturbing polyphyletic organisms.
