Kinds of parasites in the human body is extremely diverse. Their number, along with multi-celled and protozoa also include viruses, bacteria and fungi that are parasitic at the expense of the human your body, even if in the medical tradition of the viruses and bacteria, it is not accepted to be attributed to parasites.
Let's discuss the basic types of endoparasites of man. The appearance of many of them can be discerned only under a microscope, and some, especially from the ranks of deworming, amaze them with your size. Let's start with the easiest:
- Giardia along with dysbiosis are also the cause of IMR, anemia and general intoxication of the organism.
- Toxoplasma affects the brain, eye, heart muscle, central nervous system, but a particular danger is for pregnant because of the risk of fetal death helena hard to beat.
- Amoebae are capable of causing amoebic dysentery, amoebic encephalitis and other dangerous diseases.
- Trichomonas are a source of infectious diseases of the genitourinary system.
The most common parasites
The most common endoparaziti belong to the helminths (worms), which, according to various sources, infected more than 80% of the population of the planet.
A huge number of these parasites are divided into basic types:
- hookworm – roundworm (ascaris, pinworms, Trichinella, whipworm, etc.);
- cestodes – tape worms (lantecy, pig and bullish tapeworm, tapeworm, etc.);
- flukes – worms-happiness (liver, blood, lung, as well as lucky, living in the intestine).
Sometimes you can stumble on more than the overall classification, according to which all types of parasites, people, are divided into:
- translucent (intestinal), parasitic in the intestines;
- cloth, localized in other organs and tissues.
However, the majority of deworming in different stages of their life cycle go through and cloth, and disorders of the developmental period with the corresponding symptoms.
Let's take a brief description of the most common types of de-worming.
Roundworms (hookworm)
- Ascaris – are the most common roundworms in lengths from 20 to 40 cm, are parasitic in the small intestine, but in advance of the move in the human body, hitting the circulatory system and the respiratory system. Along with the intestinal problems these parasites can occur in the liver and gall bladder, heart and lungs. A common symptom of ascariasis – an allergic reaction.
- Pinworms – small worms up to 1 cm, affecting the bowel and can see to on enterobiasis with impaired functioning of the digestive system, fatigue, sleep disorders, etc. the Characteristic sign of the presence of pinworms – itching in the anus, where they lay their eggs.
- Trichinella – these microscopic worms (their size is only a few millimeters) lead to the most difficult diseases – trichinosis, which no treatment can lead to death. Adults of the species inhabit in the body of people in different types of muscles (respiratory, face, etc.), which causes muscle pain, fever, swelling, allergic rashes on the skin.
- Vlasoglavy – small worms (length up to 4.5 cm, the front part of your body
in the form of a thread), the larvae of which cause trihozefalez with diarrhea, acute abdominal pain and other symptoms that resemble appendicitis. In consequence of the intoxication of the organism develops anemia.
Tape worms (cestodes)
- Broad tapeworm, the length of your body, which reaches up to 10 m, sees to the development of the difillobotrioz with nausea, weakness, vomiting, unstable chair, asthenia and anemia.
- The pig tapeworm has a length of from 3 to 8 m, the parasite mainly in the small intestine and causes two disorders: taeniasis with the dyspeptic, asthenic-neurotic and abdominal syndromes, and cysticercosis with intoxication, intestinal, allergic, and respiratory syndromes. Depending on the localization of tsistitserki affects the muscles, brain, heart, eyes, etc.
- Bullish tapewormwhose length may reach up to 18 m, causes beef tapeworm infection, and is considered one of the most dangerous species of worms. If not do de-worming, can live in the human body for up to 18-20 years! Localized in the large intestine, causes severe intoxication products of his life, as well as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, anemia, allergic reactions and problems with the nervous system.
- Dwarf tapeworm long, 1.5-5 cm, – the source of the gimenolepidoz with dyspeptic, pain and asthenic-neurotic syndromes, from which suffer particularly from the digestive and nervous system of your body, and also liver.
- Echinococcus is considered to be a small caterpillar worm – its length is only 2.5 to 8, rarely 9 mm, but the assault on them has dire consequences in the form of damage to the liver and lung where they form cysts and tumors, which cause dysfunction of these organs.
Worms-luck (flukes)
- Liver Fluke or liver Fluke shape resembles the leaf of a length of 30-50 mm and a width of 8-13 mm, has a suction cup. It damages the shell of the liver and blockage of the bile duct, it is able to completely block the flow of bile. Can cause cirrhosis, hepatitis and liver cancer.
- Cats (siberian) Fluke, helena cats, Fluke, flat worm length 4-13 mm. Localization – channels of the gallbladder, liver and pancreas. Causes opisthorchiasis with the development of gastritis, ulcers, pancreatitis, cholecystitis and up to the cancer of the liver, which can lead to deadly.
- The lung Fluke has ovate-shaped, reddish-brown body with fine spines in lengths from 7.5 to 12 mm with a width of 4-8 mm. Affects the lungs, causing inflammation, exudative inflammation of the pleura, focal fibrosis and lung cancer. When the penetration into the brain causing inflammation and meningoencephalitis.
- Shistosoma (blood cells luck) – dioecious worms about the size of 1-2 cm, on the eggs, which cause enlargement of the liver, spleen and lymph nodes, the education of polyps in the intestines, diarrhea, granulomatous inflammation, which sees to bladder cancer.
The source of infestation
Helminthiasis, as well as other intestinal diseases, most often the "disease of dirty hands", what causes that get out of the eggs and larvae, worming in the human body:
- if not wash hands after toilet and before eating;
- not wash the vegetables, fruits and herbs, which are eaten in the raw state;
- they are not meant to be meat and fish, sufficient heat treatment;
- when the consumption of badly salted fish and sebum;
- keep food products readily available for flies and cockroaches;
- use the feces as fertilizer on the garden places;
- the limelight is not designed for this water;

- Folk medicine it is known many ways to get rid of the worms, and give a good effect.
- Do not leave open dishes, bread, pastries, etc., to flies or cockroaches – vectors of eggs of worms – let products.
- Carefully observe the temperature regime in the process of cooking: meat and fish, in which often occur eggs worming, good cook/fry/bake.

- The dwarf tapeworm.
- Pinworms.
Bio-helminth (infection occurs through communication with animals helen consumption of infected meat, not from the past proper heat treatment):
The amount of parasites in the human body
- Bullish tapeworm.
- The pig tapeworm.
Geohelminths (infection occurs through unwashed vegetables, fruits, herbs):
On the biological characteristics of
To this group of parasites include:
- Tape worms.
- Roundworms.
- Good luck.
Prevention of the disease
Strict adherence to the rules of hygiene will help you avoid the infestation of parasitic worms.

Worms
- Roundworms – in the human body is well entrenched ascaris and pinworms
- Flat worms – the body of a man is a great place where they can live, pig and bullish tapeworm, liver Fluke etc.
Insects
Fight with these kinds of parasites is quite difficult, because in the course of my life have been safely settle down and are fixed on the walls of the organs with the help of special infants and hooks.

According to the size of the flat worms of this type are small, but they are attached on the walls of the organs of man very firmly thanks to its suction cup.
Fluke, parasitic mainly in the liver and the intestines, causing anemia, persistent headaches and rapid weight loss.
The worms may, in the course of his life to penetrate and into the lungs, and even in the brain, causing serious consequences. Source gill are dirty water and plants.
Representatives of the tapeworm – bullish and pig-tapeworm – can reach a length of up to 10 meters. Parasites living in the human gut, and this in a thin.
The most dangerous form of tapeworm is Echinococcus, which can affect the brain and lungs.
Losing weight at a normal appetite, is the main symptom of infection of the conveyor worms.
