The main classes of parasites that infect humans include unicellular protozoa, multicellular helminths, and larger ectoparasites. In 2013, over one million deaths worldwide have been attributable to parasites. The mosquito-borne protozoa, Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax, cause malaria by infecting hepatocytes and red blood cells. This infectious disease is the leading cause of death from parasitic infection, claiming over 850,000 deaths. Insect-borne unicellular trypanosomes, Trypanosoma brucei, T. cruzi and Leishmania, cause the African sleeping sickness, Chagas disease and leishmaniasis respectively. Altogether, these infections cause over 80,000 deaths. Free living amoebas such as Cryptosporidium and Entamoeba cause cryptosporidiosis and amoebiasis, respectively. Schistosomiasis from infection by the flatworm, Schistosoma, is a leading cause of kidney disease in Africa. We have catalogued a number of parasite-specific antibodies from a variety of vendors.
