Parasitic organisms can be found in almost any living creature.To most people, they cause nothing but disgust and fear, which is not surprising, because sometimes these babies cause terrible diseases.We present to your attention the 25 most terrible and dangerous parasites
Parasitism in nature is very widespread.There are parasites, parasite insects, pests, parasitic plants, etc. There are so many of those who even have some pests - and these may be the most bloodthirsty in every sense.An impressive example of this "Army of the Dark" is Plasmodium malaria, which is parasitized in a malaria mosquito (which in turn is a temporary parasite of hot animals and humans).This one -semantic organism finds almost one -third of a billion new victims and kills over a million.
Bag
This producer of Crustacean resigns in Crab.It literally pushes throughout the body of the owner, absorbing nutrients from it.The crab gradually weakens and even loses its ability to regenerate.When it is time to multiply for the parasite, it gives special chemicals to the blood of a crab, under the influence of which female crabs begin to take care of pest eggs as their own.A magician of crab affected by the parasite refuses to mate, and, on the contrary, under the influence of a chemical drug, cares for pest eggs in the same way as the female.
Cordyceps is one -
This tropical fungus resigns in the ants.It is also famous for being able to control the owner's behavior.When the fungus comes to multiply, it gives an ant to the chemical group and rises obediently the upper leaves of the plants and maintains the stillness, allowing the mushroom to germinate through its body, open the hat and release them.
Anizakids
A person is in danger of being infected by these worms, eating poorly processed marine fish, shrimp, squid or octopus that has not been treated by them.For the first time, the infection with uneven was recorded in 1955 in the Netherlands and the source was a slightly salted herring.If you cut the fish, you see in its muscle tissue, caviar or milk "some spirals" -whether they are ruthlessly throwing the delicacy or freeze the fish up to -20 degrees and hold in this condition for at least two weeks.With this treatment, their worms and their tiny larvae will die.After that, the fish can be eaten safely - however, the consciousness that it does not cause a "worm" appetite.
Vlasty
These bacteria are intracellular parasites of many insects and worms.By spreading the host's body, the bacteria manage to "attach" their own to his gene.For example, the genome of certain flies-confesses also contains an almost complete copy of the Volbachia genome.
Sand
Sand Flea is a very dangerous parasite that affects pets, rodents, monkeys and humans.Its great distribution is a real problem for countries such as Nigeria, Todago and even Brazil.In dysfunctional areas, the number of people suffering from this parasite can reach 70%.For some reason, sandy fleas prefer sandy fleas.When human infection with these pests, the tiny female flea is inserted into the skin of the feet or under the nails.In just 5-6 days after insertion, the female belly, filled with eggs, grows to the size of the pea, causing a painful pain to the owner.When the eggs ripen, their female "shoots" in the environment, after which it crawls the wound, but much more often dies directly into the human body.
Osa hymenoepimecis argyraphaga
OSA mainly resigns to spiders.Having temporarily paralyzed her victim, the washing connects her egg to her chest.Soon the spider comes to his senses and continues his life.The developing larvae gradual juices from it and before its pause enters a special chemical into a spider, under the influence of which, instead of a conventional tissue, builds a special cocoon, where the larva transforms into adult concrete.
Vandelia
In fact, this small translucent fish is parasitized in the gills of other fish living in the rivers of the Amazon.But in search of the victim, Kandira focuses on the smell of ammonia, which is contained in the water that has passed through the gills.This makes her extremely dangerous to a person.If a person is in the water, then having learned a chemical signal, Candida is slightly inserted into a person's anus or urethra, sometimes even reaches the bladder.Having penetrated the body, Kandira inevitably dies, but the injury she manages to apply is simply terrible and only a good surgeon can extract her dead body covered with persistent spikes.
Trichomyod
Trichomonas is a single -celled microorganism.Some types of trichoma are completely safe, but there are real assassins.In birds, these pests can cause severe inflammation in the mouth and throat, as a result of which the bird cannot swallow and eventually dies.Another type of Trichomonas (trichomonas vaginal) resigns a person's genitals and causes a serious hallucination disease, which today is the most common disease of the genital tract on Earth.Medical statistics say that almost every tenth resident of the planet suffers from this disease.
Lefima
It is a whole cereal of the simplest organisms that cause serious diseases called leishmaniasis.For example, leashmaniasis of the skin, manifested in the form of painful luggage, causes Leishmania, first pending mosquitoes and flies and then on warm animals, including humans.Initially, parasites multiply in the digestive channel of the insect that causes blood to be completely blocked.One person's bite, the insect initially burbs a piece of parasites in the wound, and then a blood crap.Leishmaniosis is very common in tropical countries and about two million new cases of diseases around the world are recorded each year.
Mokritsa, devouring the language (Cymothooa exigua)
Fortunately, for a person this crustacean is absolutely safe.Mokritsa is associated with fish tongue and first crap blood from it.When the fish language dies, an elegant parasite begins to play the role of a strange intent in the tongue, eating blood and mucus of the fish, but does not cause it to special damage.
Trinket
A kind of very dangerous monocyte organisms that parasitize insects and warm animals.Thus, the triumphant errors are carriers of Trypanosoma Cruzi Tripanos, causing a person's disease in a person.The disease affects the whole body and quickly leads to death.
Toxoplasms
The simplest microorganisms that cause serious illness are toxoplasmosis.The main owners of the parasite are cats, people and other warm actions in the role of intermediate hosts.Often, toxoplasmosis can occur very easily, disguised as a common cold.But with a decrease in immunity, the disease can lead to madness, convulsions, paralysis and other nervous system damage.Toxoplasmosis for pregnant women is particularly dangerous as it leads to the child's death before birth.
Cochliomyia Hominivorax meat flies
The females of this fly, living in America, exercise subtle eggs in the body of warm animals.The larvae that have come out of the eggs are inserted under the skin, tearing down the victim's body whole holes.These types of flies that put eggs in the eyes and nose are particularly dangerous.In this case, the larvae, devouring the owner's flesh, can cause blindness and even reach the brain.There are cases where doctors exported more than 150 larvae from a person's nasopharynx influenced by this parasite.
Hairy
A very ancient water worm, whose larvae give up on various types of insects - germs, lifts, beetles, etc. Adult worms exercise the owner's body and return to the tank where they are spread.
Friendly
In the public, almost 10 different species of Philius are parasitized.These excellent worms (their diameter does not exceed 0.3 mm) can reach almost half a meter in length.Filaria distributors are blood -suffered insects.In the human body, worms can live almost anywhere.When blocking the lymphatic system, an ivory develops and if they accumulate in the eyes, then a person can blind.
Loa loa
The slim round Loa Loa worm belongs to the eagles and is very common in West and Central Africa.The parasite of the blind and other insects that spread blood spread.Adult worms live under the skin.Females immediately produce living larvae, which accumulate in light and peripheral blood vessels, causing various tumors and inflammatory reactions.The worms constantly migrate through the body and if they fall into the eyes, this can lead to blindness.
Clostridia Perfringens
The bacterium Clostridium perfringens can cause severe food poisoning, as well as the cause of the rapidly growing gas gangrene, in which the tissue affected by a bacterium literally dissolves, secreting bubble bubbles.
Slit
First, the larvae of this worm grow in fresh water molluscs, then they go to the water and attack mammals, inserting under the skin.Schistosomes spread throughout the body and are particularly dangerous when accumulating in the bladder and genitals.Shistosomatoz is difficult, has many heterogeneous symptoms and causes great suffering.The parasite is common in Africa, China, the Philippines and Indonesia.
Blindness
River blindness or onhocercosis is caused by Ontchocerca Volvulus Filaria.The carrier of these pests is the Simulium Damnosum, widespread along the rivers of West and Central Africa.This kind of worms and their larvae particularly affect the eyes, which leads to complete vision loss.
Meningeer
The neisseria meningitidis bacteria is parasitated in the nasopharynx of many people.Unfortunately, they are able to cause not only serious runny nose but also inflammation of brain shells - meningitis.
Fly tseces
The African fly itself is a temporary parasite.But with a bite, it often infects his victim with a much more dangerous parasite - the type of Tripanos that causes a deadly disease.
Hazel
The worm is common in Africa, India and the Arabian peninsula.Tiny larvae live in fresh water and when there comes time to attack animals and humans, introducing under the skin.Adult worms can reach 2 mm thick and length of 1 m.After mating, males die and females move to the subcutaneous layer, puncture the skin and when a person is in water, they release through the larvae hole.
Plastics
Parasitic monocyte organisms, some species of which can cause malaria.
Fowler offenses
This amoeba lives in fresh tanks, the temperature of the water at 25-30 degrees.A person is infected during swimming.Damage to these parasites can cause fatal meningitis.Sometimes, when even groups with poorly chlorinated water become sources of infection.Such cases are rare, but every time they cause real panic, since visitors to pools, thermal springs and bath resorts become victims.
The leuklhyllion is paradoxical
Leucochloridium paradoxum is a flat worm parasitic in snails and birds.The snails are intermediate hosts of the worm.By growing, the larvae sprouts through the body of the snail and when one of its growing (called sporty) reaches the tentacle of the snail, it changes in such a way that it becomes very similar to the green caterpillar.To make disguise even more convincing, the larva is constantly contradicting growth, imitating the caterpillar movements.It all starts to attract the bird's attention and force it to click the "caterpillar".In the body of an infected bird, the worm grows in a sexual shape and places eggs, which, along with the rubbish of the bird, fall to the ground and the growth cycle is repeated.The special "paradox" of this parasite is that the snail, having lost the tentacle, as a rule, does not die, but grows a new one.Then, the larvae in her body forms a new sporocyst and again lures the birds.
