Abstract
Our planet is a planet of parasites and the parasitic way of life is the most widespread live strategy on Earth. It seems parasites are rare.
It is because they live secretly in the bodies of their hosts. Why are our parasites so interested? Why are poeple parasites afraid? Is there any reason to worry about parasites? For these and other questions the book tries to answer.
It represents both human and animal parasites from different angles. It describes their influence on their host, their way of life, their historical and artistic view.
Life threatening parasites are rare in our country. Less dangerous, however, are still common and have no parasite.
Most children are infected with pinworms, approximately one fifth of the population is infected with toxoplasma. In the tropics and the subtropics, parasites are still a very serious health problem.
On the other hand, their positive contribution to our health and immunity is also considered, and they are even used for treatment. So we have to worry about them? The most important thing is proper awarenesis and that is what this book is about.
