Not to be confused with Parasitism (social offense).
Human parasites include various protozoa and worms.
Human parasites are divided into endoparasites, which cause infection inside the body, and ectoparasites, which cause infection superficially within the skin.
The cysts and eggs of endoparasites may be found in feces, which aids in the detection of the parasite in the human host while also providing the means for the parasitic species to exit the current host and enter other hosts.[1] Although there are a number of ways in which humans can contract parasitic infections, observing basic hygiene and cleanliness tips can reduce its probability.[2]
The most accurate diagnosis is by qPcr DNA antigen assay[citation needed], not generally available by primary care physicians in the USA: most labs offer research only service.
