Popis:	The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) defines a parasite as “an organism that lives on or in a host organism and gets its nutrition from or at the expense of its host (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Global Health, Division of Parasitic Diseases. 2016. https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/about.html Accessed 05 May 2019).” They classify parasites that affect humans into three main categories: the protozoa, helminthes, and ectoparasites.
