There are many different sizes of parasites
including single-celled protozoa
and multi-celled parasites

and even insects.
Some other small parasitic creatures
are called filaria, richettsias and spirochettes.
Fungi and yeasts are parasitic plants.
Parasitic Conditions: A parasite is a living being or organism that exists by depending on another organism. Parasites that infect humans are much more widespread than many people realize. These diseases affect not only poverty-stricken peoples in remote areas of the world, but they also can be important health problems for rich and poor throughout the world, including the United States.1
