History of human parasitology.
[dracunculiasis]
Humans
are
hosts
to
nearly
300
species
of
parasitic
worms
and
over
70
species
of
protozoa
,
some
derived
from
our
primate
ancestors
and
some
acquired
from
the
animals
we
have
domesticated
or
come
in
contact
with
during
our
relatively
short
history
on
Earth
.
Our
knowledge
of
parasitic
infections
extends
into
antiquity
,
and
descriptions
of
parasites
and
parasitic
infections
are
found
in
the
earliest
writings
and
have
been
confirmed
by
the
finding
of
parasites
in
archaeological
material
.
The
systematic
study
of
parasites
began
with
the
rejection
of
the
theory
of
spontaneous
generation
and
the
promulgation
of
the
germ
theory
.
Thereafter
,
the
history
of
human
parasitology
proceeded
along
two
lines
,
the
discovery
of
a
parasite
and
its
subsequent
association
with
disease
and
the
recognition
of
a
disease
and
the
subsequent
discovery
that
it
was
caused
by
a
parasite
.
This
review
is
concerned
with
the
major
helminth
and
protozoan
infections
of
humans
:
ascariasis
,
trichinosis
,
strongyloidiasis
,
dracunculiasis
,
lymphatic
filariasis
,
loasis
,
onchocerciasis
,
schistosomiasis
,
cestodiasis
,
paragonimiasis
,
clonorchiasis
,
opisthorchiasis
,
amoebiasis
,
giardiasis
,
African
trypanosomiasis
,
South
American
trypanosomiasis
,
leishmaniasis
,
malaria
,
toxoplasmosis
,
cryptosporidiosis
,
cyclosporiasis
,
and
microsporidiosis
.
