In most cases the fitness advantage for parasites that manipulate their host's behavior is increasing the likelihood of transmission to a new host.
Parasites live in other host organisms and depend on them for survival. Without a host, a parasite cannot live or grow and multiply, and for this reason, a parasite rarely kills its host, however it can unfold diseases, a number of which can be fatal.
There are three types of human parasites - protozoa, helminths and ectoparasites. The transmission of parasites is through five main routes -direct contact, fomites, aerosol (airborne), oral (ingestion), and vector-borne. Some examples of parasites are tapeworms, fleas, lice, roundworm and barnacles.
