They don't. There may be people with disabilities who depend on others to provide for them, but that is not called parasitism, it is called civilization.

Sometimes people are out of a job or unable to work and bullies will call them parasites because they also depend on our human civilization to lend a hand.

Sometimes a person may call another a parasite, but they are just being unkind.

Why a person having malarial parasite does not shows symptoms of disease?

Some peoples (ie tribes/families) who have lived in malaria infested regions have developed a natural partial immunity to the parasite (by a process of natural selection and evolution) such people may be infected by the parasite but do not develop full blown malaria because their immune system keeps the parasite in check.Note, the danger in this is that such people act as the source of malaria affecting others. The mosquito has to bite someone with malaria FIRST then go on to bite a SECOND person. This gives malaria to the SECOND person. Obviously people carrying the malaria parasite but not ill do not go and get treated for malaria (have the parasite in their bodies killed). They therefore act as a hidden reservoir for infection.


Is Schistosomiasis contagious?

Schistosomiasis, or bilharzia, is usually not spread directly from one person to another. It usually spreads by exposure to water in which the snails that serve as the host for the parasite are found. An infected person passes the parasites on to the snails, where the parasite continues its life cycle, and is released into the water to infect another person.
