The classification of “parasites” in the medical field is a challenging notion, a group which historically has included all eukaryotes exclusive of fungi that invade and derive resources from the human host. Since antiquity, humans have been identifying and documenting parasitic infections, and this collective catalog of parasitic agents has expanded considerably with technology. As our understanding of species boundaries and the use of molecular tools has evolved, so has our concept of the taxonomy of human parasites. Consequently, new species have been recognized while others have been relegated to synonyms. On the other hand, the decline of expertise in classical parasitology and limited curricula have led to a loss of awareness of many rarely encountered species. Here, we provide a comprehensive checklist of all reported eukaryotic organisms (excluding fungi and allied taxa) parasitizing humans resulting in 274 genus-group taxa and 848 species-group taxa. For each species, or genus where indicated, a concise summary of geographic distribution, natural hosts, route of transmission and site within human host, and vectored pathogens are presented. Ubiquitous, human-adapted species as well as very rare, incidental zoonotic organisms are discussed in this annotated checklist. We also provide a list of 79 excluded genera and species that have been previously reported as human parasites but are not believed to be true human parasites or represent misidentifications or taxonomic changes.

Periodontitis is one of the most common and public health problems worldwide. It is a multifactorial chronic inflammatory disease involving a complex interaction between various etiological factors, host responses, and environmental factors. Risk factors have still been under investigation. Many studies emphasize the possible bacterial etiology and host responses. Entamoeba gingivalis, is a protozoon that resides in the oral cavity of individuals. Many studies have reported that infection rates of this protozoa was higher in patients with periodontitis compared to healthy controls. However, the role of this protozoon in the development of periodontal disease remains controversial. Therefore, in this review, it is aimed to compile the literature data on E. gingivalis whose pathogenicity is yet to be determined.
