Abstract | ||||
Reported infections with facultative parasitic have an obvious effect on human morbidity and mortality, especially in immunocompromised patients. Change of life cycle stages of facultative parasites between a free-living and parasitic style according to environmental conditions is one of its most significant features. Prevention and control of these infections is of great concern to health authorities to develop a national program to increase the level of medical knowledge and clinical significance regarding the habitat of the facultative parasites. The program should be accompanied by health education and efficient efforts for safe disposal | ||||
