Among oldest of all terrestrial animals are mites, with known fossils nearly 400 million years ago, 3 main lineages are: Parasitiformes, Opilioacariformes and Acariformes. A small fraction of about 45,000 mite species have been reported (5%) of species alive in these days. The cause of health-related problems is recognized by more than 250 mite's species for domestic animals and humans. There are 2 significant diseases of human for which mites serves as the principal vectors i.e., rickettiralpox and tsutsugamushi. Acarophobia or an abnormal mite fear may also be reported. Present studies...

The parasites that live and nourished from blood cells of the host are called hemoparasites. The two main species of Plasmodium i.e. P. vivax and P. falciparum are endemic in Pakistan. P. vivax is dominant over P. falciparum. Literature revealed that the prevalence of P. vivax in Pakistan is 74% while P. falciparum is 26% (WHO 2009). The present research estimated the intensity of Plasmodium infection in Korangi, Karachi to develop awareness and protective measures. One year data has been collected from hospitals and laboratories of Korangi Creek and examined. Total 481 infected slides were...

Helminths are parasites living inside the body of animals and human beings. They are host specific and the site specific. There are many helminth parasites living in the intestine of human being and causing a huge destruction. It is observed from the recent research that four species of helminth parasites were present in population of Gulistan-e-johar area, i.e. Ascaris lumbricoides (Linnaeus, 1683), Hymenolepis nana (von Siebold, 1852), Ancylostoma duodenale (Angelo Dubini, 1838) and Trichuris trichuria (Morgani, 1740). It was observed that the infection of Ascariasis was highest and...

Protozoa are eukaryotic organisms. They caused the infection in human. They are clearly seen in the infected stool of human. The infestation is common in worldwide and affected social classes. So it is necessary to find out, how much general population of the particular locality is familiar to the disease. Study shows infection intensity in general public developing safe prophylexative measure to protect people from protozoan infection. Six months data was collected from different hospital in the North Karachi Area in which 245 patients affected form protozoan infection. The patients were of...

The acanthocephala constitute an important group of worms, unlike trematodes they lack a mouth and digestive system. Research workers all over the world are continuously engaged in finding out more and more facts about parasites for better prevalence and control measures. In Pakistan, parasitology on the whole is a neglected field of study, inspite of the fact that parasite infections are one of the major causes of disease in human and animals. In Pakistan researchers and students always face difficulty in locating the parasite fauna of this region specially the birds, therefore it is thought...

Research workers all over the world are continuously engaged in finding out more and more facts about parasites for better prevalence and control measures. In Pakistan researchers and students always face difficulty in locating the parasite fauna of this region specially the Anseriformes, therefore it is thought necessary to prepare a list of cestodes parasitized in Anseriformes and list of parasites parasitized in birds of this region. During the present study some species of cestodes were also recovered which are presented here along with to find out some changes on cellular level which...
