Parasitic diseases can be transmitted through various means, including:
Contaminated Food and Water: Many parasites, like Giardia and Cryptosporidium, are transmitted through ingestion of contaminated food and water. Vector-borne Transmission: Some parasites are transmitted by vectors such as mosquitoes in the case of Malaria and sandflies in the case of Leishmaniasis. Direct Contact: Certain parasites like lice and scabies are transmitted through direct contact with an infested individual. Soil-transmitted Helminths: These parasites, such as hookworms, are transmitted through contact with contaminated soil.
