1 In men with established coronary heart disease, consumption of 1-14 alcoholic drinks per week, including wine, doesn't seem to have any effect on heart disease or all-cause mortality compared with men who drink less than one drink per week.
Terminology [edit]. Although organisms such as bacteria function as parasites, the usage of the term parasitic disease is usually more restricted. The three main types of organisms causing these conditions are protozoa (causing protozoan infection), helminths (helminthiasis), and ectoparasites.ome parasites like Toxoplasma gondii and Plasmodium spp. can cause disease directly, but other organisms can cause disease by the toxins that they produce.
Parasitic disease is typically caused by the parasiteâs entry into the body via the skin or mouth. It is not unusual to pick up parasitic infections from soil, typically by either walking barefoot and allowing entry through the feet, or by placing the hands in the dirt and eventually placing the fingers in the mouth.arasitic diseases are more common than most people realize, and can strike anyone regardless of race, age, or social status. A certain amount of parasites are normally found on the skin and bedding of every human being. Dust mites, and other tiny, harmless mites, are commonly found in all household.
