Talk:List of human parasitic diseases

Text dump or copyvio?
The section "SCREENING METHODS FOR ANTHELMINTICS" looks like it might be copied from somewhere. Ardric47 09:20, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

The addition has been made by user Tsalman, who is also claimed to be the original writer of the quoted text. Whether the text belongs here and is of suitable style is another matter: the medical latin is not my favourite -- it looks pretty impervious for a non-medicinist, there are no wiki-links, and Anthelmintics (drugs that expel parasitic worms) might be a sub-set of the Anti-parasitic drugs, but probably wouldn't deserve one of the top headers on this page.

 * It certainly doesn't look like it belongs here. At best it should be moved to anouther article. I've deposited it below if anyone would like to discuss it, but it can't stay forever. Jefffire 20:15, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Move article?
Since there's no content other than the list, this should be moved to List of human parasitic diseases. Any objections? &mdash; Catherine\talk 18:14, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
 * see if you can copy the german page, it is still up to date.

Besides parasites considered diseases in humans....
Besides parasites considered diseases in humans, could someone with the knowledge maybe start an article on Parasites ubiquitous to humans which aren't considered 'diseases'? Nagelfar 01:36, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Not in agreement with Parasite entry
The parasite entry says that in medicine viruses and bacteria are not considered parasites, yet you come to human parasitic diseases and see bacteria listed. Well, which is it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Spinhirne (talk • contribs) 16:51, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

I am deleting "Lyme disease" form the list - it is caused by the spirochete bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi most commonly which is not considered a parasite. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.161.223.136 (talk) 02:11, 21 November 2013 (UTC)
