Overview
Have you ever had lice? Then you have experienced what parasites can be! Parasites are organisms that rely on other organisms for their very survival. They cannot live—or spread—on their own. Many of them are invisible to the naked eye. Of those, some live inside our bodies, and some live even on our skin. From head lice and pinworms to malaria, parasitic infections affect millions of people around the world every year. Learn fascinating facts like these—and many more—in the pages of Parasites.
ABOUT THIS SERIES:
Nature includes everything around us that wasn’t created by humans—animals, plants, towering mushrooms, and more. There’s also an essential part of nature that is invisible to the naked eye—an enormous number of microscopic creatures that play crucial roles in sustaining life on Earth and impact our daily lives in many ways. These include bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi. With engaging, easy-to-understand text and striking photography and diagrams, the books in the Invisible Nature series put these organisms “under the microscope” and take readers on a journey of discovery to understand the roles they play in our everyday lives.
