Parasites,
Some Different Varieties
There are over 3000 varieties of parasites
in four major categories, Protozoa, Trematoda,
Cestoda and Nematoda.
Nematodes: common roundworms (Ascaris
lumbricoides), hookworms, whipworms, pinworms, heart worms,
Strongyloides, Stercoralis, Ancylostoma, caninum, toxocara
worm and trichinosis. Size can vary from .2 to 35 centimeters.
Roundworms look similar to an earthworm and
can produce 200,000 eggs daily. Approximately 1,008 million
people are infected, making it the most common worldwide.
The most frequent symptom from roundworms is upper abdominal
discomfort. Other symptoms are asthma, eye pain, insomnia,
and rashes due to the secretions or waste products from
the worms.
Large numbers can cause blockages in the intestinal
tract, hemorrhage when penetrating the intestinal wall,
appendicitis, peritonitis, abscesses in the liver, hemorrhagic
pancreatitis, loss of appetite, and insufficient absorption
of digested foods. Adults grow to 15 inches long.
Hookworm larvae penetrate the skin. When hookworms
reach adulthood, they can sap the victim's strength, vitality
and overall well-being. Young worms use their teeth to burrow
through the intestinal wall and feed on your blood.
Symptoms from hookworm are iron deficiency,
abdominal pain, loss of appetite, craving to eat soil, protein
deficiency, dry skin and hair, skin irritations, edema,
distended abdomen, stunted growth, delayed puberty, mental
dullness, cardiac failure and death. (1/2 inch long)
Pinworms can infect one in five children.
Symptoms are itching and irritation of the anus or vagina,
digestive disorders, insomnia, irritability or nervousness.
Female worms crawl out of the anus and lay about 15,000
eggs per day. Once airborne, the eggs can survive about
two days anywhere in your living environment.
Worldwide, about 500 million are infected
with pinworms. The worm is white and can grow to about half
inch in length.
Infections from whipworms are estimated at
several hundred million worldwide. Symptoms of whipworms
are bloody stools, pain in the lower abdomen, weight loss,
rectal prolapse, nausea and anemia. Hemorrhage can occur
when worms penetrate the intestinal wall and bacterial infections
usually follow. 1 to 2 inches length.
Protozoa: the single cell parasites;
amoebae, protozoa infections, neospora, Toxoplasmosis, cryptosporidium,
giardia, Sarcocystis and Trichomonas vaginalis.
Amoebae are an irregular shaped microorganism
that infects the end of the smaller intestine and colon.
Amebiasis is the most common infection and caused by the
species Entamoeba histolytica.
Amoebae also release an enzyme that causes
ulcers or abscesses where they can enter the bloodstream.
They can eventually reach other organs like the brain or
liver. (25 micro meters in diameter)
Cryptosporidium is associated with water-borne
outbreaks. The victim might experience diarrhea and abdominal
pain lasting for about ten days.
Giardia is the most prevalent intestinal parasite
in humans and found in drinking water. Giardia resides in
the smaller intestine and at times in the gall bladder.
Millions of these giardia organisms will coat the intestinal
walls, prevents the absorption of nutrients and later causing
illness. Symptoms are mild to moderate abdominal cramps,
intestinal gas, light colored stools, bad absorption, weakness,
chills, stomach bloating and diarrhea. (14 um x 10 um)
Trichomonas vaginalis are pathogens that resides
in the vagina in females and the urethra, epididymis, and
swelling in the prostate gland in males. In women there
is some yellowish discharge accompanied by itching and burning.
Malaria, the most prevalent and debilitating
disease among the protozoa type is caused by Plasmodium.
About two million people die annually from Malaria.
Cestodes: (Tapeworms); bladder worms,
pork tapeworms, broad fish, dog tapeworms, dwarf and rat
tapeworms. Broad fish tapeworms may grow to 35 feet long
and live ten years inside the persons intestines. Some tapeworms
can lay as many as one million eggs per day. Their bodies
are in separate segments with hooks and suction cups on
their skull.
Trematodes: (Flukes); Flatworms, bladder,
blood, liver, lung, kidney and intestinal flukes. Human
infections of flukes (Schistosomes) are in excess of 250
million worldwide. They can cause severe disease of the
gastrointestinal tract, bladder, liver and destroy blood
cells. Size varies from 1 to 2.5 centimeters in length (1/2
to 3 inches long).
Spirochetes are very tiny organisms that are
spiral-shaped, and multiply in the blood and lymphatic system.
Spirochetes (largest), Saprospira, Cristispira, Treponema
(smallest), and many more. The host or carrier is usually
lice, ticks, fleas, mites, and flying insects, which is
then transmitted to humans. Spirochetes are responsible
for relapsing fever, infectious jaundice, Lymes disease,
sores, ulcers, Vincent angina and Wyles disease.
