Parasitic disease
A parasitic disease is an infectious disease transmitted by a parasite. Because parasites rely on their host for survival, most do not cause disease in their host. Examples of parasitic diseases include malaria, Chagas disease, and African trypanosomiasis (also known as sleeping sickness).
