  <abstract>Friedrich Frischknecht provides an interesting insight into the lifestyles of parasites. From the tiny agent of malaria to the tapeworm, from diarrhea to changes in the host's behavior, he presents the fascinating world of parasites. In doing so, he clarifies why parasitism represents such a successful way of life and how we might still manage to eradicate the worst parasites. The author: After studying biochemistry at the Free University of Berlin, Prof. Dr. Friedrich Frischknecht completed his PhD on poxviruses at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg. Following a research stay at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, he has been leading a research group at the University Hospital in Heidelberg since 2005, focusing on the molecular basis of the movement of malaria parasites. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content. This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.</abstract>
