parasite

Malaria is caused by a complex parasite which is spread by mosquito bites.

If the “parasite” needs its new host to witness the demise of the first after a week of possession, well, Skye certainly has a lot of eyes on her.

Also in May, thousands of residents in Devon were told to drink bottled water after their supply was contaminated with the cryptosporidium parasite - possibly as a result of a faulty valve on private land.

Consumption of the parasite can cause prolonged diarrhoea.

The question has long preoccupied the country’s literary scene, which has watched South Korea’s film and television industries produce worldwide hits like “Parasite” or “Squid Game” while wondering why South Korean books have failed to capture the same level of global interest.
