Parasitic diseases are one of the major reasons for global mortality, predominantly in middle and low-income countries. It affects humans regardless of age and gender, causing significant public health concerns. Research in parasitology is continuously evolving as scientists aim to tackle the significant health burden imposed by parasitic infections, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions.

Often, parasitic diseases impose tremendous disease burdens on tropical, subtropical, and temperate climates, with steadily rising death tolls every year. Parasitic infections are predominantly transmitted to humans through animals, birds, or insects and by consuming inadequately cooked or raw meat or fish. Parasites are the pathogenic organisms that live on host organisms feeding on them. Hence, deep insight into the parasitic biology, its life-cycle, and pathogenesis of parasite diseases are critical for developing novel therapeutics and preventive measures for treating and preventing parasitic infections. 

Types of parasitic diseases:

Mainly three classes of human parasites infection are known, which include:

  • Protozoa infections: Malaria, cryptosporidiosis, amoebiasis, leishmaniasis, giardiasis, and trypanosomiasis (Chagas disease)

  • Helminths infection: Ascariasis, enterobiasis, and  trichuriasis

  • Ectoparasitic diseases: Scabies, pediculosis, and Lyme disease.

An Insight Into Human Parasitic Infection We Offer:

Central BioHub fulfills your research needs! We are one of the most trusted online human biospecimens providers for millions of researchers across the globe. Our zealous services are well appreciated in the world of biomedical research with a long track of records and expertise in catering to the biospecimen demands from different renowned pharmaceuticals, biotech companies, academic institutions, government, and non-governmental research organizations in different parts of the world. Global researchers can now procure the most reliable, cost-effective human biospecimens for parasitology studies from Central BioHub. We bring you a curated clinical specimens collection of parasitic diseases in humans ethically obtained from consented patients clinically diagnosed with parasitic infections such as:

  • Malaria

  • Lyme disease

  • Worm infestation

  • Filariasis

  • Toxoplasmosis

  • Leishmaniasis

  • Ascariasis

  • Trypanosomiasis (Chagas disease)

Ongoing Research 

Current studies focus on understanding the molecular biology and life cycle of parasites such as Plasmodium (malaria), Trypanosoma (Chagas disease), and Leishmania (leishmaniasis) to develop more effective therapeutics and preventive measures. There is also significant effort in developing vaccines for diseases like malaria and exploring drug resistance mechanisms in parasites like Plasmodium falciparum. Researchers are investigating novel drug targets, particularly in the metabolic pathways of parasites, to create treatments that are less prone to resistance. Additionally, advancements in diagnostic tools such as rapid tests and molecular techniques are improving the early detection and control of parasitic infections. This research is crucial in addressing the global health burden posed by parasitic diseases and reducing mortality rates in affected regions.

Parasitic infections or parasitosis are infectious diseases caused by protozoa, ectoparasites, helminths, or worms. Examples: malaria, amoebiasis, Chagas disease.
Most of the parasitic infections can be prevented effectively by taking appropriate preventive measures, as follows: • Avoiding consumption of contaminated food and water • Avoid travelling to the diseases endemic areas or countries • Maintaining personal hygiene • Eat thoroughly cooked meat and fish • Avoid insect bites and stings • Wash hands with soap and disinfect after touching animals, birds, or their excreta. • Always wear gloves when working around animals.
Multiple diagnostic tests help in accurate diagnosis of parasitic infections and includes: • Blood tests • Endoscopy or colonoscopy • Sputum examination • Urine test • Stool examination or stool culture • Radio diagnosis like X-ray, CT-scan, MRI
These are well-defined, high-quality human biospecimens of different human parasitic infections ethically derived from voluntary donations from different parts of the world. Every sample is highly annotated with vital clinical data and well preserved at our partners biobank. Researchers can procure serum and plasma samples of patients diagnosed with malaria, Lyme disease, worm infestations, filariasis, toxoplasmosis, leishmaniasis, ascariasis, trypanosomiasis (Chagas disease), and more from Central BioHub.

Parasitic infections are treated effectively with pharmacological agents to expel, destroy or kill the parasite from the hosts body. Examples are anti-protozoal drugs and anthelmintics.
