A few thoughts on Parasites: by James Martin

In general usage the meaning of the term "parasite" is rather vague. A parasite is defined as an organism which has a close relationship with its host and lives at its expense. In medicine only protozoa (monocellular organisms), helminths (worms) and arthropods are classed as parasites (from the animal world). Helminths (worms) include: cestodes (tapeworms), nematodes (roundworms) and trematodes (flukes).

What is going to play a more increased role in the definition of being a parasite is the addition of Protozoa, Amoeba, Virus, and Bacteria. If you think I am far off – give consideration to the levels of Blastocystis hominis in different parts of the world. I just finished a review of the potential infection levels in developed areas of the world. In the United States approximately 20-25% of the population is infected while some areas have an infection rate as high as 65%. In less developed areas of the world, infection rates as high as 100% have been observed.

The number of people infected world-wide are estimated to have the following degree of infestation for specific parasitic species:

Toxoplasma gondii 50% infestation
Ascaris spp. 1.2 billion
Enterobius vermic./Oxyuris 1.2 billion
Trichuris trichiura 600 million
Ancylostoma duod. 500 million
Entamoeba histol. 500 million
Pneumocystis carinii 400 million

Nowhere near all parasitic conditions are recognised as such. If we assume also a certain number of unrecorded cases, which is bound to be high, we can assume that at least 50% of the world's population is infested with protozoa and helminths.

As knowledge about parasites and their effects increases, more and more parasites previously considered harmless will be recognized as posing a threat to health. Those with impaired immune systems are at risk. However, parasites may also contribute to hypoimmunity or even immune blocks in their host by fending off the human immune system. Infants as well as the elderly and infirm are most at risk. ... See MoreSee Less
