For instance, malaria, which is caused by such protozoan parasites as Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax, kills nearly three million people annually, according to the United Nations. Elephantiasis, which is caused by nematodes injected into human hosts, currently infects more than 100 million people. Major drivers of this research are the environmental and health concerns that ...
