Parasites inside your body could be

protecting you from disease
It’s fair to say parasites are generally bad for their hosts. Many cause disease and death so,
like most species, we humans usually try to avoid infection at all costs. But it turns out that
some parasites, although potentially harmful in isolation, can in fact help hosts to cope with
more deadly infections.

Understanding when parasitism is beneficial has important implications for how we manage
infectious diseases, but we currently know very little about this phenomenon. Our new study,
published in Evolution Letters, tells us that parasites can readily evolve different mechanisms
to defend their hosts from other infections, which suggests that host protection should be
common in nature.

The idea that “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” has been around in human society for a
long time but it is far from unique to human conflict. The natural world is full of examples
where parasites are harmful under some conditions and helpful under others.

1. Main Idea is Understanding when parasitism is beneficial has important implications for how
we manage infectious diseases, but we currently know very little about this phenomenon. 

2. Referance is Our new study, published in Evolution Letters, tells us that parasites

Us referances to our new study

3. why is becomes dangerous ? in this article explains that parasites are dangerous but parasites
can also be beneficial for the body

4. conclusion

parasites are indeed a danger to life but a new study says that not all parasites are harmful, some
parasites, although potentially dangerous in isolation, can actually help the host deal with more
deadly infections. in the world of parasites, many parasites are unique with examples where
parasites are dangerous in some conditions and help in other conditions.
