How does ascaris cause kwashiorkor?
Kwashiorkor is a protein deficiency disease. Ascarids (a type of parasitic worm) feeds off protein, denying it to the person, who then gets Kwashiorkor. I should say that it is unlikely that ascarids would, on their own, cause Kwashiorkor. It would be in the context of other contributary factors as well.
