Parasitic infections of refugees
Medical Journal of Australia, 1988The Victorian refugee screening programme, in contrast to similar programmes elsewhere in Australia, includes an examination for faecal parasites.

Developmental & Comparative Immunology, 2005
Studying parasites helps reveal basic mechanisms in immunology. For long this has been recognized for studies on the immune system of mice and man. But it is not true for immunological studies on fish. To support this argument we discuss selected examples of parasite infections not only in warm-blooded but also in cold-blooded vertebrates. We point out

Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 2011Parasitic infections affect tens of millions of pregnant women worldwide. These infections lead directly and indirectly to a spectrum of adverse maternal and fetal/placental effects. With the increase in global travel, healthcare providers will care for women who have recently moved from or traveled to areas where these infections are endemic.

Parasitic infections are felt by most individuals to have little impact on the health and well being of most inhabitants of Canada, Western Europe, and the United States. As the authors show in this article, parasites are always "emerging" somewhere and have a significant impact on those areas of the world.

Parasitic infections of the intestines
Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 1999Intestinal parasites remain extremely common worldwide. In developing countries, intestinal protozoans are important causes of childhood diarrhea. Cryptosporidiosis is a common cause of chronic diarrhea in patients with AIDS. With the advent of current active antiretroviral therapy the incidence of cryptosporidiosis in AIDS has decreased.
