Detailed explanation-1: -Parasitic helminths are among the most pervasive pathogens of the animal kingdom. To complete their life cycle, these intestinal worms migrate through host tissues causing significant damage in their wake. As a result, infection can lead to malnutrition, anemia and increased susceptibility to co-infection.
Detailed explanation-2: -For most viruses, some bacteria and parasites, CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) are the more important because they may lyse infected cells and liberate important cytokines such as interferon .
Detailed explanation-3: -The major difference between a parasite and a pathogen is that parasites are often a category of pathogen whereas pathogens are disease-causing organisms within the host. However, not all parasitic organisms are pathogens. Examples of pathogens include viruses, bacteria, and fungus.
