THE PARASITOLOGY IMAGE LIBRARY

These are images of multicellular and single cell symbiotic intruders. They are generally known to use humans and other reservoirs as hosts for their own benefit, however, unlike many prokaryote invaders, they do not "infect" and potentially kill their host. These creatures tend to "infest", allowing their host to stay alive. Many of these parasites are known for morbidity and mortality despite the absence of cellular infection. Many of these trouble makers are more of a nuisance than anything else. The images are displayed for 10 seconds, however, you can pause or advance the stream at your discretion. For style control, just point at the image and it will instruct you.
