Infections with parasites are very common in tropical climate regions where the most common example of such an infection is malaria. In non-tropical areas, the most typical diseases caused by parasites are trichomoniasis, giardiasis, cryptosporidiosis, amebiasis and toxoplasmosis.

Parasitic infections are caused by three types of organisms: protozoa, helminths and ectoparasites. Infections with protozoa can occur by, for instance, drinking water containing the protozoa organisms’ cells or though food that was undercooked. Giardia lamblia, Cryptosporidium parvum, Entamoeba histolytica and Dientamoeba fragilis are the most important diarrhea-causing protozoa.

Due to the ease of spread, fast and reliable diagnosis of a parasitic infection at an early stage is crucial for an effective therapy. Immunoassays and molecular diagnostics enable detection and differentiation of parasitic infections sooner than traditional methods, such a microscopy.
