Only after carefully reading the photos of parasites on the human body, you can understand how diverse the representatives of this class are. They differ in size and shape, are the causative agents of various diseases and have individual characteristics that help them feed and reproduce at the expense of people. Depending on the type of parasite that caused the infection, internal invasions can be divided into two groups, these are protozoan infections and helminthiasis.
Pathologies of this type are caused by unicellular microorganisms or protozoa (amoebae). You can usually only see what parasites look like with the help of multiple magnifications. Protozoa live inside a person for years and can be both pathogenic (causing disease) and harmless. There are also beneficial parasites that feed on disease-causing microbes and protect the body from infectious diseases.
Protozoa that live in the human oral cavity. When infected with these parasites, periodontal disease can develop, manifested by the accumulation of purulent discharge in the gums. Bacteria are found on the tonsils, cavities of decayed teeth, and mucous membranes.
The oral amoeba has a rounded shape with a cloudy central part. Trichomonas looks like a pear with 4 flagella in front.
Note!
These protozoa do not form a cyst and can be transported from the oral cavity to the nasopharynx and respiratory organs. Treatment consists of the use of Trichopolum or Macmirora, as well as antibiotics for the oral cavity.
These are internal parasitic protozoa. They are the causative agents of giardiasis. They parasitize in the vegetative stage and can turn into cysts. Adult trophozoites in front have a broad rounded shape, pointed behind. In the middle, two axostiles (support threads) are visible, visually dividing the lamblia in half. Each part has a core. These protozoa move with the help of 4 flagella.
According to statistics, more than one billion people are infected with parasites. You may not even suspect that you have become a victim of parasites.
It is easy to determine the presence of parasites in the body by a symptom: bad breath. Ask your loved ones if your breath smells in the morning (before brushing your teeth). If so, there is a 99% chance that you are infected with parasites.
Parasite infection leads to neurosis, rapid fatigue, sudden mood swings, and later more serious illnesses begin.
In menparasites cause: prostatitis, impotence, adenoma, cystitis, sand, kidney stones, and bladder stones.
In women: pain and inflammation of the ovaries. Fibroids develop, fibroids, fibrocystic mastopathy, inflammation of the adrenal glands, bladder and kidneys. Besides heart and cancer.
We want to immediately warn you that you do not need to run to the pharmacy and buy expensive drugs that pharmacists say will kill all parasites. Most of the drugs are extremely ineffective and also cause great harm to the body.
Parasite cysts are 14 microns in size and oval in shape. There are 4 cores inside. Giardiasis is manifested by abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, heartburn, and stool disorders.
The causative agent of amoebiasis dysentery belongs to a variety of parasites of the sarcode class. Parasite in the human body in the form of trophozoites ranging in size from 15 to 60 microns and cysts (up to 20 microns). The place of localization is the large intestine, in rare cases it is installed in the liver, lungs and brain. In the small intestine, the cyst membrane opens, each nucleus divides, and an 8-nucleus amoeba forms. It gives rise to vegetative forms in which the cytoplasm is clearly distinguishable with a distinction between ectoplasm and endoplasm.
Note!
Symptoms of amebiasis include crimson jelly-like diarrhea, cough with "coffee" sputum, high fever, right upper quadrant pain, and false urge to defecate (tenesmus).
The simplest organism of the class of ciliates. It causes a disease in humans called balantidiasis, which is manifested by the formation of ulcers on the walls of the large intestine and intoxication of the body. Balantidium parasitizes in the form of active cysts and ciliates, the body of which has an elongated shape with a length of 30 to 150 microns.
For the absorption of food in the body of the ciliates there is an opening framed by cilia. The balantidial cyst is similar to an egg about 55 microns in size with a thick shell.
The parasite is sometimes called vaginal, but this is not correct. Trichomonas can live in a person regardless of gender and cause severe inflammation at the site of localization. In men, they settle in the urethra and prostate, in women in any part of the genitourinary system.
In the life cycle of these simpler organisms there is only one active phase, they do not form cysts. Trichomonas has a pear-shaped body up to 30 microns long. In the center of the sample is a dividing wire with a herringbone protrusion at the rear end. In the front there are flagella for movement.
These parasites are of various types and belong to the class of blood sporozoa. A person is parasitized by pathogens:
Plasmodium changes shape according to the stage of malaria. It can be shaped like a cell surrounded by a ring, then takes a ribbon shape and eventually begins to divide with the formation of small cells that are introduced into the red blood cells. In the last stage, rounded gametocyte cells are formed. Malaria is a serious infection and is manifested by attacks of fever with destruction of red blood cells.
The simplest human parasites are flagellates and cause trypanosomiasis. The pathogen looks different at each stage of development:
Important!
Pathogens can invade brain tissue and cause tissue edema. Trypanosomiasis is manifested by fever, swollen lymph nodes, and headache.
I've been feeling really bad for the past few years. Constant fatigue, insomnia, some kind of apathy, laziness, frequent headaches. There were also digestion problems, bad breath in the morning.
They exist as trophozoites, precysts, cysts, and sporozoites. Initially, pneumocysts have an irregular rounded shape with a thick membrane and pseudopod-like growths for contact with the alveoli of the lungs. Inside cells are vacuoles and a nucleus. A precyst looks like an egg with nuclei inside it, from which cysts appear during division, and from them, in turn, sporozoites.
Pneumocysts are the causative agents of pneumocystosis in humans. The disease is manifested by a dry cough such as whooping cough and attacks of suffocation.
This is a slimy amoeba. It actively moves in biological tissues and tolerates unfavorable temperatures well. You can get nigleriosis from swimming in water. The parasite enters the brain through the nasal passages.
Important!
The prognosis is usually fatal. The clinic is similar to meningitis (pain in the head, stiffness of the neck muscles). Treatment is often ineffective, in combination with antibacterial therapy, drugs based on the substance miconazole.
A widespread parasite of internal organs. Causes damage to the nervous system, myocardium, liver and spleen. In shape, Toxoplasma looks like an orange slice.
This is a large group of living organisms that parasitize the human body and cause helminthic invasions. According to the external description, all helminths are similar to worms, but they have a different structure and size. Symptoms and treatment of worms are closely related. With mild invasions discovered by chance, it is enough to take a specific remedy, with severe ones, complex treatment will be required. According to biological characteristics, human helminths are divided into flat and round. In turn, planes can be trematodes or tapeworms.
In the form of a ribbon or multi-segment chain. Each individual has a head and neck area, from which new segments grow. The clinical picture when infected with these worms is characterized by a general exhaustion of the body, indigestion and intoxication.
These are human parasites that belong to the class of flukes and are called flukes. Worms are found in the liver, lungs, and bloodstream. Symptoms of infection of the body are manifested by pain in the right hypochondrium, cough, signs of intoxication and digestive disorders.
This is the most well-known type of parasite in the human body. Pinworm eggs remain viable in the environment for a long time. People carry the larvae of these parasites on their hands, animals on wool, insects on their legs.
Clinical signs of infection depend on the mass of the invasion. Most often, the complaints are associated with poor appetite, changes in body weight, and discomfort in the abdomen.
