AB It  is  often  not  appreciated  that  parasites  of  humans  (parasitic  protozoa  and  parasitic  helminths)  represent  our  most  common  and  even  ubiquitous  pathogens.  Parasites  are  important  causes  of  human  pathology  and  disease  that  rival  our  great  killer  infections,  such  as  tuberculosis,  HIV/AIDS,  diarrheal  diseases,  and  lower  respiratory  infections.  Shown  in  Table  46-1  is  the  most  recent  assessment  of  the  global  public  health  impact  of  human  parasitic  diseases,  as  determined  by  the  Global  Burden  of  Disease  Study  2016  (GBD  2016  Causes  of  Death  Collaborators,  2017;  GBD  2016  Disease  and  Injury  Incidence  and  Prevalence  Collaborators,  2017).
