Endoparasites are organisms that live inside the host's body and can be classified into several types. The primary categories include protozoa, such as Giardia and Plasmodium; helminths, which encompass flatworms (e.g., tapeworms) and roundworms (e.g., nematodes); and ectoparasites, though primarily external, some can be considered endoparasitic during certain life stages. Each type can cause a range of diseases and health issues in their hosts, affecting various organs and systems.
