Among the intestinal parasites you count certain worms (see worm disease ) and protozoa ( such as certain flagellates and amoebae ), which can be taken, especially in warmer areas with drinking water and are parasitic in the intestines of a host. They can lead to severe diarrhea (eg Entamoeba histolytica ).

  • Cryptosporidium
  • Cyclospora
  • Sarcocystis
  • Isospora belli

Transmission mode
