Define the Term Parasites 

As you may already know,  is a plant or animal that at some stage of its existence obtains its nourishment from  another living organism called  the  host. Several foods act  as carriers of parasites, which may cause illness when ingested. The parasitic infections of foods may occur due to contamination of food by  a  food handler directly or by polluted waters. In many parts of the world, the consumption of under-cooked meat  and  fish are popular. The  problem  of  contamination with parasites can occur when the food preparation is made with polluted water  and under-cooking prevents the parasites from destruction. Amoebic infection is the most important parasitic infection through contaminated food. Let us learn about  the different parasites.
