Parasite treatment involves the use of medications to eliminate parasitic infections in humans and animals. Common types of parasites include worms, protozoa, and ectoparasites like fleas and ticks. Treatment typically depends on the type of parasite and may include oral medications, topical treatments, or injections. Preventive measures are also important in managing parasitic infections. Maintaining good hygiene, using insect repellent, and ensuring proper sanitation can help reduce the risk of infection. Regular veterinary care for pets can also prevent the spread of parasites like heartworms and intestinal worms.
