	Parasite - MSN Encarta
		Parasitism affects most life forms, from bacteria infected by the viruses known as bacteriophages, to humans, who are subject to more than 100 parasites known to cause disease.
		Parasites that live on the inside of the host’s body are known as endoparasites, while those that live on the outer surface of their hosts are known as ectoparasites.
		Parasitic worms, including flatworms (soft-bodied worms, such as tapeworms and flukes) and roundworms (thin, unsegmented worms, also called nematodes) are endoparasites, usually living in the intestines, lungs, liver, or other internal organs of their hosts.

	The Institute for Genomic Research -- Parasite Genomics
		One reason for their naggingly persistent success is that many parasites have complex relationships with the human or animal hosts they infect and with the insects or ticks that often carry them.
		Parasites also have developed a startling range of mechanisms for evading the host’s immune responses, and they have such complex life cycles that scientists often have difficulty growing and studying each of the parasite stages in the laboratory.
		For example, sequencing the DNA of the Trichomonas parasite may help biomedical researchers find new ways to treat or prevent trichomoniasis, a sexually transmitted disease that infects as many as 5 million people a year, and is emerging as a contributing factor in worsening the transmission of the HIV/AIDS virus.

		Parasites have been around since around 1999 and have gone from an obscure issue of interest to computer security professionals to the single most common threat affecting internet users.
		If your computer has recently started showing constant adverts or changing your home page and search engines; if new toolbars, bookmarks and icons have been unexpectedly appearing; or if the desktop has become unusuably slow or error-prone, it is possible you could have unsolicited commercial software installed.
		There are also programs available that can (in many cases) remove the parasites automatically; they can also detect many more types of threat that the script here cannot (for tedious technical reasons).

	human parasites - intestinal parasite worm cleanse and colon cleansing
		Parasites can be responsible for a wide spectrum of ailments, from very serious infections and diseases at one end, to mild feelings of unwellness and lack of energy.
		Parasites are often mobile, "grazing" in one area of the body after another, eating the host's cells directly or draining the best of the nutrients directly from the host's tissues.
		Parasites have survival skills which are beyond the capabilities of our Immune System, especially when the immune system is overloaded or weakened, and that's why they can generally live for years within their host.

		The Parasite made a number of reappearances before the Crisis, and was one of the main characters in the second Marvel/DC crossover between Spider-Man and Superman (Marvel Treasury Edition #28).
		The Parasite had taken the form of one of his previous victims, an old man, and was run down in the pandemonium that evening when Lois came to his aide.
		The Parasite discovered Superman's true identity a couple of times, but on each occurrence, Superman managed to harm Rudy enough to damage his memory (having him suck the "power" out of some kryptonite, having Rudy doused by a shower system while the Parasite possessed Livewire's electrical powers, etc.) so that he forgets the knowledge.

	parasite. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Many bacteria are parasitic on external and internal body surfaces; some of these invade the inner tissues and cause disease (e.g., typhoid fever, tuberculosis, and some types of pneumonia).
		Parasites are more prevalent in the animal and protist kingdoms; most are invertebrates, chiefly worms, e.g., the fluke, tapeworm, and trichina (see trichinosis); arthropods, e.g., the flea and louse; and protozoans.
		Among the protozoan parasites that cause human disease are Amoeba (or Entamoeba) histolytica, the cause of amebic dysentery and liver abscess, and the several species of Plasmodium responsible for the three main types of malaria.

	Boston.com / News / Science / Researchers develop salmon parasite test
		The parasite is found only in the Northwest, developing in small worms that live in the Deschutes, Willamette, Columbia and Klamath rivers before being released into the water.
		Researchers suspect the parasite is limited to certain types of rivers because the inital worm host has very specific habitat requirements.
		The other parasite does not appear to kill the fish but it weakens salmon by making their kidneys less efficient at filtering their blood.

	HOST-PARASITE AND DISEASE-VECTOR RELATIONSHIPS
		Basic reproductive rate of a parasite, Ro: The basic reproductive rate, Ro, of a microparasite may be formally defined as the number of new infections that a solitary infected individual is able to produce in a population of susceptible hosts (Anderson and May 1979).
		The parasitic trematodes are probably the most important class of parasites to utilize an aquatic stage for at least part of their life cycle.
		Where members of the parasite community are important in mediating competition between hosts, this may lead to further changes in the structure of the host community and the possible extinction of particularly susceptible hosts.

	Dracunculus medinensis (guinea worm) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Dracunculus medinensis causes the disease known as dracunculiasis, and the parasite is often referred to as the guinea worm or fiery serpent.
		A similar parasite is found in a number of carnivores and omnivores in North America, but it does not infect humans.
		As one might expect, humans infected with this parasite often seek out water to alleviate the symptoms of the allergic reaction and to wash the ulcer, and the juvenile worms are liberated into the water.

	Parasitology: Parasites and Parasitism text
		Parasites are often described as occupying the third great environment, -aquatic, -terrestrial -parasitic, the body of another organism.
		That is that the parasite has lost the genetic ability to make certain vital metabolic intermediates and has to rely on the hosts genome for this or it may have to rely on the host genome to provide vital developmental stimuli.
		Any one parasite usually only infect a few different species of host during its life cycle (their are a few 4 host life cycles, no 5 host life cycles), this is in contrast to predators which usually eat a range of different prey species.

	HHMI News: Dream Home: Malaria Parasite Renovates to Suit Its Tastes
		Once in the blood, the parasite's continuous asexual multiplication inside the red blood cells is responsible for the clinical symptoms of malaria and the associated incidence of disease and death.
		For example, the researchers found that during the asexual stage, the parasite, which is present in the parasitophorous vacuole, remodels the erythrocyte by forming an elaborate membranous network in the cytoplasm of the red blood cell.
		The parasite disguises these alterations, which are made to the surface of the cells, enabling it to complete its 48-hour life cycle, multiply, and cause severe infection without detection by the immune system.

	ATJ's Marine Aquarium Site - Reference - Marine "Ich"
		The parasitic stage (trophonts) is the one that results in the appearance of white spots all over the fish.
		When the theronts (parasitic stage) are embedded in the skin of the fish, the fish secrete a thick layer of mucus in response to the irritation and they are protected from outside influences.
		In a tank where parasites are present, stressed fish are more likely to show signs of "Ich" before more healthy fish, but the healthy fish are just as likely to become infected as the numbers of parasites increase.

		Toxoplasma is carried by cats and rats in the UK, and a large proportion of humans are also thought to carry the parasite, without any ill effects.
		Their study reveals how the parasite injects a single protein into a cell it wants to invade, and how this protein makes its way to the nucleus of the cell and interferes with the ability of the cell to trigger an immune defence.
		Professor John Barrett, a senior lecturer in parasitology at the University of Aberystwyth, said that there were arguments for screening pregnant women for Toxoplasma to avoid birth defects.

		Whether diagnosed or not, parasites often are the underlying cause of a number of health problems including diarrhea, gastrointestinal upset, vaginal irritation, joint and muscle aches, brain or nervous system damage, immune dysfunction, and chronic fatigue.*
		According to Dr. Theodore Nash at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in Bethesda, Maryland, “Parasitic infections are a major cause of illness in North America.
		The incidence of parasitic diseases is not only skyrocketing because of increases in international travel and immigration, but also because of greater contamination of the water and food supply, wide-spread use of day-care centers that help spread microbes, household pets, the overuse of chemicals and prescription antibiotics.*
