Parasitic Diseases
Parasitic diseases, also known as parasitosis, refer to infectious conditions caused or transmitted by parasites. While some parasites do not result in diseases to avoid mutual host-organism demise, certain parasites infecting humans, termed human parasites, can cause health issues. These diseases span various organisms, encompassing mammals and plants. The scientific exploration of parasitic diseases is termed parasitology.
