Abstract: Parasitic diseases represent one of the significant problems of modern medicine and are pathological conditions that develop as a result of the жизнедеятельность of helminths and protozoan microorganisms in the human body. The invasion and persistence of parasites in various organs and tissues are accompanied by the formation of a complex of clinical manifestations caused by their mechanical effects, metabolic activity, as well as the development of toxic-allergic and immunopathological reactions. The most important factors contributing to the survival and widespread distribution of parasites are their high reproductive capacity and the presence of complex adaptive mechanisms. These mechanisms enable effective adaptation to the conditions of the host’s internal environment, resistance to immune defense responses, and long-term persistence, which contributes to the chronic course of parasitic diseases and the development of functional organ disorders.
