Some parasitic organisms increase their numbers by reproducing asexually in the intermediate host making it more likely that they will make their way to a suitable host.
Most parasitic organisms produce toxins that discourage unsuitable hosts.
Some parasitic organisms increase their numbers by reproducing sexually in the intermediate host making it more likely that they will make their way to suitable host

2. The parasite’s effect upon human by

Nutrition robbing
Mechanical injury
Poisoning lesion
Allergy reactions
Immune-suppression

Definition Definition Organism that lives in the body of another organism and obtains food at the expense of the host. A parasite can directly or indirect harm the host. There are two kinds of parasites: internal and external. An internal parasite lives inside another organism and is known as an endoparasite. An external parasite lives on the body surface of the host and is known as an ectoparasite. Protozoa and helminths are examples of major human parasites.
