Resum
Human infections caused by parasitic protozoans and helminths are among the world's leading
causes of death. More than a million people die each year from diseases like malaria and
neglected tropical diseases like leishmaniasis, trypanosomiasis, and schistosomiasis. Patients
also endure disabilities that cause lifelong suffering and that affect productivity and development. More insidiously, parasites generate important economic losses, since they often also infect commercially valuable animals. Worldwide, exposure to parasites is increasing due to growing international travel and migrations, as well as climate changes, which affect the geographic distribution of the parasite vectors. The parasitic threat is also aggravated by the rise of the immunocompromised population, which is particularly sensitive to parasite infections (e.g., individuals with AIDS and other immunodeficiencies).
