What diseases are caused by macro parasites?

Macroparasites are larger parasites, typically visible to the naked eye, such as worms and arthropods. They can cause a variety of diseases in humans and animals, including schistosomiasis (caused by blood flukes), ascariasis (caused by roundworms), and lymphatic filariasis (caused by filarial worms). Other examples include infections from hookworms and tapeworms, as well as diseases transmitted by ectoparasites like ticks and fleas, which can lead to conditions such as Lyme disease and plague. These infections often result in significant morbidity and can impact overall health and well-being.
