Type of parasites in the human body is exceptionally diverse. One of them, Metazoa protozoa together and are also viruses, bacteria and fungi, which parasitize the human body, although ny medical traditions of viruses bacteria are not considered parasites.
Let us consider the main types of internal parasites of man. Many Appearance and they can be seen as unnecessary microscope, and some, in particular helminths, affect its size. Let's start with the simplest:
- Giardia along with the liver also cause vitamin a deficiency, anemia and General intoxication of the organism.
- Toxoplasma affects the brain, eyes, heart, muscles, nervous system, but a particular danger for pregnant women, because the table of death of the fetus or serious damage.
- The amoeba can cause amoebic dysentery, amoebic encephalitis and other dangerous diseases.
- Trichomonas are sources of infectious diseases of the genitourinary system.
The most common parasites
The most common internal parasites are, of course, helminths (worms), which according to various estimates, infected more than 80% of the world population.
A huge number of these parasites are divided into basic types:
- nematodes – round worms (roundworm, pinworm, species of Trichinella, whipworm, etc.);
- cestodes – tapeworms (lantecy, pork and beef tapeworm, tapeworm, etc.);
- trematodes – worms, flukes (liver -, blood -, lung -, and flukes, which live in the intestines).
Sometimes you can find a more General classification, according to which people of all kinds of parasite is divided into:
- luminal (intestinal) parasites in the intestine;
- tissue, local and other organs tissues.
However, most of the worms at different stages, and have their life cycle in the tissues of the bowel during development and similar symptoms.
Consider a brief description of the most common types of worms.
Roundworms (nematodes)
- Roundworm – nematodes length are common of 20-40 cm, parasites in the small intestine, but first move to the human body, which affect the blood and the respiratory system. Together, these intestinal parasites can be detected in the liver of the gall bladder in ny, ny heart lungs. Symptoms and Common ascariasis allergic reaction.
- Pinworms – small worms, up to 1 cm, affecting the intestine and lead to enterobiasis disorder of the gastrointestinal tract, fatigue, sleep disorders, etc. The characteristic symptoms of pinworms is itching in the anus, where they lay eggs.
- The species Trichinella – these microscopic worms (their size is in vain a few millimeters) cause serious diseases – trichinosis, which can lead if untreated to death. Adults of the species live in the human body different muscles (respiratory, face, etc.), causes of muscle pain, fever, swelling, allergic dermatitis.
- Vlasoglavy – worms small (length 4.5 cm, the front part of the body
the spiral form), the larvae, which cause trihozefalez diarrhea, abdominal pain acute and other symptoms similar to acute appendicitis. As a result of intoxication anemia.
Tapeworms (cestodes)
- Tapeworm, the body length, which extends up to 10 m, the development of difillobotrioz with lead to nausea, weakness, vomiting, unstable chair, asthenia and anemia.
- The pork tapeworm has a length of 3-8 m, mainly in the small intestine of the parasite and cause two diseases: taenia in its and dyspeptic, asthenic-neurotic abdominal syndromes yes with cysticercosis intoxication, intestinal, allergic respiratory and symptoms. Depending on the localization of cysticerci affects the muscles, brain, heart, eyes, etc.
- Beef tapeworm, whose length can be up to 18 meters and cause the beef tapeworm infection is considered to be one of the most dangerous kinds of worms. If you don't do the deworming, it can stay in the body for up to 18-20 years! Is localized in the colon, causes severe poisoning and their waste products, as well as diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, anemia, allergic reactions and problems with the nervous system.
- The dwarf tapeworm in vain for a length of 1.5-5 cm source gimenolepidoz diarrhea, pain and asthine production-neurotic syndromes, which affect mainly the gastrointestinal tract the nervous system and and liver.
- Echinococcus is considered the smallest tape worm – its length is 2.5-8, rarely 9 mm, but the infection's terrible consequences, such as ny liver to the lung, where they and formed cysts tumors, causing dysfunction of these organs.
Worms, flukes (trematodes)
- Liver fluke or the liver Fluke - shaped plate, with a length of 30-50 mm and a width of 8-13 mm, the suction cup. It will harm the follicles and the liver blocking the bile ducts, fully that is capable of blocking the flow of bile. Can lead to liver cirrhosis, jaundice, cancer and liver.
- Cat (Siberian) - sucker or cat fluke, a flat worm length 4-13 mm. Localization channels the gallbladder and liver pancreas. Causes opisthorchiasis the development of gastritis, ulcers, pancreatitis, cholecystitis, until the liver cancer, which can lead to death.
- The lung Fluke is an ovoid shape, red-brown body with small spines, length 7.5-12 mm width 4-8 mm. Affects the lungs, causing inflammation, pleural effusion, focal fibrosis, and lung cancer. When the penetration into the brain and cause encephalitis meningoencephalitis.
- Shistosoma (blood boy flukes) – dioecious worms, whose size is 1-2 cm, the eggs, which cause an increase in liver, spleen and lymph nodes, formation of polyps in the intestines, diarrhea, granulomatous inflammation, leading to cancer of the bladder.
Sources of infection
Helminthiasis, like other intestinal diseases, is often the "disease of dirty hands", which leads to the accumulation of eggs and larvae of helminths in the human body:
- when not washing their hands after using the toilet and before eating;
- do not wash vegetables, fruits and vegetables, which are eaten raw;
- meat and fish sufficient for the bay of heat treatment;

Extraintestinal (living in different areas of the body, often the liver, brain):
Way infection
Contagious (transferred from the infected person to a healthy one, or through connection with her personal hygiene (towels, tooth brush, tableware, toys appear)):
- The dwarf tapeworm.
- Pinworms.
Bio-helminth (infection occurs contact, or via animals eating the infected meat that has not completed the appropriate bay of heat treatment):
A variety of parasites in the human body
- The beef tapeworm.
- The pork tapeworm.
Geohelminths (infection occurs through unwashed vegetables, fruits, herbs):
According to the biological characteristics of the
Parasites are in This group:

- Flatworms – the human body is an excellent place to live, pork and beef tapeworm, liver Fluke etc.
Insects
To deal with such parasites is difficult, because he have their life safe and settled attached to the walls of organs with a special and a cup suction hook.
Some individuals can live and even at the cellular level in the tissues, there and their production is practically impossible. This applies to worms. Insects the situation is somewhat easier, because usually they are located on the surface of the body, where they can be found in time to destroy.

The whole flat worms of the species this is a small, but well attached to the walls of organs strongly with its suckers.
Fluke, a parasite and mainly in the liver to the intestine, cause anemia, constant headaches, serious and weight loss.
This can helminth of course, their lives to penetrate the lungs and even the brain, causing serious consequences. Whale tail Source are dirty the plants and water.
Representatives of the tapeworm, beef and pork tapeworm length can reach up to 10 meters. Parasites live in the intestines of people, so thin.
The most dangerous tapeworm is the tapeworm form, which can affect and the brain to the lungs.
Weight loss the normal appetite is the main symptom of infection of the tapeworms.
Prevention
