Parasitic Protozoa and Helminths “In the late 1800s, scientists sometimes referred to parasitology as medical zoology. They were referring to the way they had to understand parasites as real organisms, with natural histories of their own, before they could try to fight the diseases the parasites caused.”

Neglected Tropical Diseases Diseases caused by parasites are ancient conditions that are among the most common infections of the world’s poorest people. They make up the majority of what are called “Neglected Tropical Diseases” or NTDs.

In 2015, an estimated 214 million cases of malaria occurred worldwide and 438,000 people died. About 1,500 cases of malaria are diagnosed in the United States each year. (CDC)

In 2014, at least 1.7 billion people required mass or individual treatment and care for NTDs, in 185 countries. Of these, 1.1 billion were in lower-middle-income countries. (WHO)<br>
