Extractions: B.U. Bridge is published by the Boston University Office of University Relations. Contact Us Staff Bug battle: preventing parasitic infections I'm traveling overseas in a few weeks and am concerned about parasitic infections. What can I do to prevent contracting something while I am there? A parasite is an organism, such as a single-cell protozoan or a worm, that survives by living inside another, usually much larger, organism, called the host. Parasites are common in rural Africa, Asia, and South America, but are rare in developed countries because of improved sanitation and other control measures. You are right to be concerned about developing a parasitic infection when going abroad. People who travel to developing countries can be infected by a parasite, as well as by bacteria, and unknowingly return home with an infection. In many developing countries, food and water supplies are responsible for most of the parasitic infections that tourists and business travelers contract. Insects, primarily mosquitoes, are also culprits. Surprisingly, in some developing countries, people can contract parasitic infections simply by walking barefoot because hookworm larvae, released in soil, can penetrate the skin.

Introduction To Parasitology
A misconception about parasitic infections is that they occur onlyin tropical areas. Although most parasitic infections are more
http://gsbs.utmb.edu/microbook/intopara.htm

Extractions: Medical parasitology traditionally has included the study of three major groups of animals: parasitic protozoa, parasitic helminths (worms), and those arthropods that directly cause disease or act as vectors of various pathogens. A parasite is a pathogen that simultaneously injures and derives sustenance from its host. Some organisms called parasites are actually commensals, in that they neither benefit nor harm their host (for example, Entamoeba coli ). Although parasitology had its origins in the zoologic sciences, it is today an interdisciplinary field, greatly influenced by microbiology, immunology, biochemistry, and other life sciences. Infections of humans caused by parasites number in the billions and range from relatively innocuous to fatal. The diseases caused by these parasites constitute major human health problems throughout the world. (For example, approximately 30 percent of the world's population is infected with the nematode Ascaris lumbricoides .) The incidence of many parasitic diseases (e.g., schistosomiasis, malaria) have increased rather than decreased in recent years. Other parasitic illnesses have increased in importance as a result of the AIDS epidemic (e.g., cryptosporidiosis
New Treatment For Parasitic Infections In Children Approved
New treatment for parasitic infections in children approved FDA clears wayfor nitazoxanide for treatment of diarrhea caused by two parasites.
http://www.pharmacist.com/articles/h_ts_0163.cfm

Extractions: FDA has approved orphan drug nitazaoxanide (Alinia-Romark) for oral suspension for treatment of diarrhea caused by the illnesses cryptosporidiosis and giardiasis in patients 1 to 11 years old. This approval marks the first drug specifically for cryptosporidiosis and the only drug approved for giardiasis treatment in children that is available in a suspension. Both illnesses are caused by protozoans and are characterized by diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and weight loss. Giardiasis is associated with impaired growth in children living in developing nations. The efficacy of the drug was based on two controlled studies which revealed that a higher percentage of patients with diarrhea caused by the two illnesses treated with nitazoxanide showed signs of improvement compared with patients who did not receive it. Because nitazoxanide is an orphan drug, the sponsor obtains 7 years of exclusive marketing. For more information, visit the FDA Web site

Extractions: AIDS - Parasitic Infections A person suffering from AIDS is susceptible to parasitic infections. Some of the common infections are listed as follows. Cryptosporidiosis Cryptosporidiosis (crypto) is a disease of the intestine (gut) which is caused by a parasite. Many people are exposed to crypto, but people with healthy immune systems usually get rid of the parasite without getting any symptoms or illness. Your doctor can give you a test to find out if you have this disease by examining your feces (shit). There is another illness that people with AIDS get called cryptoccocal meningitis that is completely different from cryptosporidiosis. Symptoms People with cryptosporidiosis usually have watery diarrhea more than 4 to 6 times a day. Weight loss, nausea, vomiting, cramping, stomach pain, and fever are also common symptoms. These symptoms can develop slowly over time. If you've had diarrhea for a long time, you may be losing important vitamins, minerals, and fluids which you need to live. If you have chronic diarrhea or any of the other signs, you should see your doctor right away.

Extractions: Description: This second edition textbook/atlas is about the pathology of parasitic diseases. While the first edition was virtually limited to pathological information, the scope of this edition has been widened to include important and useful sections on the biological, epidemiological, and clinical aspects of each parasitic infection. Audience: Although pathologists are the natural audience for this type of publication, specialists in infectious diseases (particularly tropical and travel medicine) and parasitologists will find this book to be an indispensable source of detailed and reliable information. A subgroup of general practitioners, gastroenterologists, and dermatologists (particularly those who have large populations of immigrants from developing countries and those who practice in such countries) will want to own at least an institutional copy of this book.

They are dependent on their hosts because they are unable to produce food or energy for themselves. Parasites are harmful to humans because they consume needed food, eat away body tissues and cells, and eliminate toxic waste, which makes people sick. Because of sanitary living conditions in America, parasites do not cause widespread life-threatening
