    • Abstract:
      Medical parasitology is the study of parasites and the human diseases caused by these organisms. By definition, parasites are dependent upon their hosts for survival. Numerous species of organisms, ranging from unicellular protozoa to large, physiologically complex helminths, parasitize human hosts. Additionally, several species of arthropods act as parasitic disease vectors. Parasites remain a significant cause of global morbidity and mortality.
