mast cells, at the site of injury release histamine, causing vasodilation
there is increased blood supply at the site of inflammation

parasitology is the study of

define mutualism

protist parasites can cause disease following inoculation of only a few infectious stages, as they can divide within the body
for protist infections, disease severity depends on how quickly they multiply within the body
the Disabilty Adjusted Life Year (DALY) is calculated by adding together years of life lost to premature mortality and years lived with disabilty for people living with a health condition or its consequences
