The reasons for helminth infections in hosts.

چکیده
A maximum capacity of the host to parasites is very diverse so intensive infections (hiperinfections) are noticed repeatedly. The reasons for their occurrence can be divided based on the factors related to the biology and ecology of hosts: age, body size, food habits, anatomical and behavioral factors, monoxenous life cycle of parasites, environmental changes, contamination of the environment by the dispersion forms of parasites and new parasite-host relationships.
