Abstract

Parasites are organisms that cause various diseases all around the world, and being infected with them can decrease the quality of life of those suffering from these diseases. While some parasites are being easily treated, others are still uncontrollable due to their different and more complex pathophysiology. The diversity of pathophysiology that occurs after parasite infection makes the diagnosis and treatment protocol of these creatures more difficult than before. In this chapter, a detailed description of the pathophysiology of the most important parasitic diseases has been provided, which may help to better understand the nature of these diseases for more accurate diagnosis and treatment. © 2024 Elsevier Inc.
