Types of parasites in the body of the man

Types of parasites in the human body exclusively varicose veins. In their number with a lot of cell and protozoa also includes the viruses, bacteria and fungi that are parasites to the human body, although in the medical tradition, virus, and bacteria is not considered to be animals.

In the body of the man different types of parasites localized not only in the intestine, as is commonly believed, but in many other organs: in the blood, tissues, muscles, joints, the brain (the brain and spinal cord), and even in the eyes.

Particularly sensitive, such as internal organs such as the digestive tract, the liver, the lungs, the heart.

Stay of the parasites in the body of the man far from trivial. The negative effects of the is, first of all, they absorb a large part from the food of the useful substances, without which the full functioning of the organism is impossible.

The imbalance is also exacerbated by alcohol poisoning-general of the human organism by toxins, emissions parasites, which can cause a number of disease to malignancy. Often, diseases caused by parasites, take on a chronic character.

A particular danger lies in the fact that the parasitic diseases causing the symptoms specific for other, the more often intestinal infections are, therefore, essential for the delivery and differential diagnosis to identify the type of parasite and the accurate production of the tactical mdicale.

Types of human parasites can generally be divided into two large groups:

• ectoparasite, parasites on the body surface and feeding on human blood (bedbugs, fleas, lice, ticks); serve as vectors of pathogens of infections, such as encephalitis, typhoid, anthrax, and others;
• endoparasite, parasites on the internal organs, and lead to serious diseases; these are protozoa (giardia, amoeba, trichomonas, Toxoplasma) and helminths – worms parasites (worms).

The classification of the parasites

We will examine in more detail the main types of endoparasites of man. The appearance of many of them you can discern under the microscope, and some, especially among the helminths, striking by their size. Let's start with the simplest:

• Giardia lamblia with dysbiosis are also the cause of IMR, anaemia and poisoning general of the organization.
• Toxoplasma can affect the brain, the eyes, the heart muscle, the nervous system, but they represent a particular danger for pregnant women because of the risk of fetal death or heavy defeat.
• The amoebae are capable of causing amoebic dysentery, encephalitis, amoebic and other dangerous diseases.
• Trichomonas are the sources of infectious diseases of the urinary system.

The most common parasites

The most common endoparasite are certainly helminths (worms), which, according to various sources, is vitiated by more than 80% of the population of the planet.

A large number of these pests is divided into main types:

• hookworms are round worms (ascaris, pinworms,: Trichinella, whipworm and others);
• cestodes – tape worms (lantecy, pork, and the wave of tsepen, Echinococcus etc);
• trematodes – worms from gills (liver, blood, lung, as well as the flukes that live in the gut).

Sometimes, you may experience more overall classification, according to which all types of parasites of people are divided into:

• intestinal, parasites in the intestine;
• in tissue, localized in other organs and tissues.

Also, the majority of de-worming at different stages of their life cycle, spend and a, and intestinal development period corresponding to symptomatology.

Take a brief description of the most common types of de-worming.

Roundworms (nematodes)

• Ascaris are the most frequent round length of 20 to 40 cm, parasites in the small intestine, but before migrating into the body of the man, striking the circulation and the respiratory system. With the bowel of these parasites can be found in the liver and the gall bladder, the heart and the lungs. Common symptom of ascariasis, an allergic reaction.
• Pinworms are small worms, up to 1 cm, affecting the intestines, and lead to enterobiasis with a disorder of functioning GASTROINTESTINAL tract, exhaustion, sleep disorders and other Characteristic of the availability of pinworms, the itching in the anus, where they lay their eggs.
• : Trichinella – these microscopic worms (their size is only a few millimetres) can cause disease – trichinellosis, which may, in the absence of treatment, result in death. The adults live in the body of the people in the muscles (respiratory, face, and other), causing muscle aches, fever, swelling, allergic skin rashes on the skin.
• Whipworm – small worms (length 4.5 cm, with the anterior part of the body

The larvae trichocephalosis with diarrhea, abdominal pain and other symptoms that resemble appendicitis. Due to the poisoning of the body from anemia.

Tape worms (cestodes)

• Broad tapeworm, the length of the body, which comes up to 10 m, leads to the development of the difillobotrioz with nausea, weakness, vomiting, unstable chair, asthenia, and anemia.
• Swine tsepen has a length of 3 m to 8 m, a parasite mainly in the small intestine and causes both two of the disease: taeniasis in dyspeptic, asteno-car and abdominalnim syndrome, and cysticercosis with intoxication, intestinal, allergic, and respiratory syndromes. Depending on the location tsistitserki affects the muscles, brain, heart, eyes and others

• Wave of tsepen, the length of which can reach up to 18 m, called beef tapeworm infection, and is considered one of the most dangerous species of worms. If it is not to make dehelmintization, he can live in the body of the man to 18-20 years! Localized in the large intestine, leading to a strong toxicity of the products of their life, as well as diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, anemia, allergic reactions, and problems with the nervous system.
• Dwarfish tsepen a length of only 1.5-5 cm source gimenolepidoz with dyspeptic, pain, and asteno-because the syndromes affect first of all, digestive and nervous system of the body, as well as the liver.
• Echinococcus is considered to be the smallest tape worm parasite – its length is about of 2.5 to 8, rarely 9-mm, but the contamination has dire consequences in the form of damage to the liver and lungs, where they form cysts and institute causing dysfunction of these organs.

Worms from gills (trematodes)

• The fluke, or fluke the shape resembles the leaf of the length of 30 mm to 50 mm and a width of 8 to 13 mm, has a suction cup. It damages the hull of the liver and the blockage of the bile ducts, is able to interrupt completely the flow of bile. Can lead to cirrhosis, jaundice and cancer of the liver.
• The cat (siberian) fluke, the cat or fluke, a flat worm with a length of 4 to 13 mm wide, the Location of the ducts of the gallbladder, liver and pancreas. Generates opisthorchiasis with the development of gastritis, ulcers, pancreatitis, acute cholecystitis, up to a cancer of the liver, which can lead to death.
• Lung fluke is of the form ovode, red-brown body with small spikes, a length of 7.5 mm to 12 mm with a width of 4 to 8 mm in the lungs, causing inflammation, a pleural effusion, fibrosis, and lung cancer. During penetration in the brain causes encephalitis and a meningo-encephalitis.
• Schistosoma (flukes) – to gonochoriques a size of 1 to 2 cm of eggs causes a hypertrophy of the liver, spleen, and lymph nodes, formation of polyps in the intestine, diarrhea, granulomatous inflammation, leading to cancer of the bladder.

The sources of infection

Helminthiasis can lead to numerous health problems, reduce life from 15 to 25 years. Many parasites are extremely difficult to detect. They can be anywhere, in the blood, the intestines, the lungs, the heart, the brain. The symptoms of worm infestation may be confused with SARS, the disease of the GASTRO-intestinal and other. The basic error in such cases, the delay of the! If you have suspicions about the presence of parasites, it is necessary to consult a specialist. If you're talking about medication and self-treatment, and the most common helminths (ascaris, pinworms, tapeworms) will come antiparasitic complex.

Helminth infections, as well as other intestinal diseases, it is most often the "disease of dirty hands", which causes the penetration of the eggs and larvae of worms in the human body:

• when one does not wash their hands after using the toilet and before eating;
• do not wash the vegetables, the fruits and vegetables that are consumed raw;
• is not subject to meat and fish, sufficient heat treatment;
• in the case of consumption of badly salted fish and fat;
• leave the food products are available for flies and cockroaches;
• use the dung as fertilizer on the garden sites;
• bathe in water;
• come into contact with animals have egara.

By the way, and her pet is also possible to be infected by the worms, in fact, often, animals serve as the intermediate hosts for helminth parasites, and the primary host is exactly the person.

Control methods

• From a young age to instill in children the habit of washing hands. Do they need to do more often, because they are constantly dealing with in the sand, the earth, the water puddles, where the most favourable conditions for eggs and larvae of parasites, and come into contact with pets and animals.
• When you see a malay, we cannot exclude the possibility that helminth infections, which is why it is recommended to do analysis on the parasites in order to determine if a type of worm (against most of them, there are drugs.
• If parasites are detected in one member of the family, of drugs against helminth infection must be taken.
• The folk medicine is known as many ways to get rid of the worms, and they give a good effect.
• Do not leave it open, ready meals, breads, pastries, and other, that flies or cockroaches – the vectors of eggs of helminths – are not left to their food.
• Care to observe the temperature conditions in the cooking process of the meat and the fish, which often occur eggs of helminths, well boiled/roast/bake.
• Rinse them under running water vegetables, fruits, vegetables that are consumed raw.
• Regular deworming of pets.
• Refuse the use of dung as fertilizer on their garden sites.
• When traveling in exotic countries to be extremely cautious about the dishes of the local cuisine, in particular, proposed in the street, there is no guarantee that with them you will not take something less exotic vermes.
