Download Parasite Eve 2

The idea for Parasite originated in 2013. While working on Snowpiercer, Bong was encouraged by a theater actor friend to write a play. He had been a tutor for the son of a wealthy family in Seoul in his early 20s and considered turning his experience into a stage production.[15] The film's title, Parasite, was selected by Bong as it served a double meaning, and he had to convince the film's marketing group to use it. He said: "Because the story is about the poor family infiltrating and creeping into the rich house, it seems very obvious that Parasite refers to the poor family, and I think that's why the marketing team was a little hesitant. But if you look at it the other way, you can say that rich family, they're also parasites in terms of labor. They can't even wash dishes, they can't drive themselves, so they leech off the poor family's labor. So both are parasites."[16]

The main themes of Parasite are class conflict, social inequality and wealth disparity.[47][48][49] Film critics and Bong Joon-ho himself have considered the film as a reflection of late-stage capitalism,[50][51] and some have associated it with the term "Hell Joseon" (Korean: ), a satirical phrase that posits that living in hell would be akin to living in modern South Korea. This term came about due to high rates of youth unemployment, the intense demands of pursuing higher education, the crisis of home affordability, and the increasing socioeconomic gap between the wealthy and poor.[52][53][54] In Coronavirus Capitalism Goes to the Cinema, Nulman writes that the word "parasite" originally referred to a "person who eats at the table of another", which occurs in one scene of the film.[49] Nulman also notes the connection between parasites and the Karl Marx quote:

Critics have also considered the themes of colonialism and imperialism. According to Ju-Hyun Park, the film plays out within "the capitalist economic order inaugurated and upheld in Korea by colonial occupation", and the use of English in the film denotes prestige within that system.[58] Park Da-song is obsessed with "Indians" and owns Native American-themed toys and inauthentic replicas.[59][60][49] Nulman makes the link between the "native" Park family and the invaders: the Kims, who bring with them deadly parasites to which the natives have no immunity. Nulman points to the miasma theory of scent carrying disease: it was thought that natives could catch diseases just by smelling the noxious air carried by colonising Spaniards. This connects to the film's theme around the class distinction of smell.[49] Bong has noted: "I wouldn't go so far as to say it's a commentary on what happened in the United States, but it's related in the sense that this family starts infiltrating the house and they already find a family living there. So you could say it's a joke in that context. But at the same time, the Native Americans have a very complicated and long, deep history. But in this family, that story is reduced to a young boy's hobby and decoration. The boy's mother mentions the tent as a US imported good, and I think it's like the Che Guevara T-shirts that people wear. They don't know the life of the revolutionary figure, they just think it's a cool T-shirt. That's what happens in our current time: the context and meaning behind these actual things only exists as a surface-level thing".[61]

A parasite is an organism that lives on or in a host organism and gets its food from or at the expense of its host. There are three main classes of parasites that can cause disease in humans: protozoa, helminths, and ectoparasites.

Although the term ectoparasites can broadly include blood-sucking arthropods such as mosquitoes (because they are dependent on a blood meal from a human host for their survival), this term is generally used more narrowly to refer to organisms such as ticks, fleas, lice, and mites that attach or burrow into the skin and remain there for relatively long periods of time (e.g., weeks to months). Arthropods are important in causing diseases in their own right, but are even more important as vectors, or transmitters, of many different pathogens that in turn cause tremendous morbidity and mortality from the diseases they cause.

Some mosquitoes carry this parasite, which causes malaria. The disease kills more people than any other of its kind. It feels like the flu, and it causes body chills, fever, and sometimes nausea or vomiting. A doctor has to look at someone's blood under a microscope to tell if they have it. Early treatment is best. Certain prescription drugs can cure most types.

The doctor will order tests, such as blood or fecal tests, that can diagnose the parasite and help them develop a specific treatment plan. Early treatment may help stop the infection from spreading to others.

Gastrointestinal (GI) parasitism is a common problem in cats, with prevalence rates as high as 45% in some populations. These parasites can be wormlike or one-celled protozoan organisms. They usually cause fairly nonspecific symptoms, such as a dull coat, coughing, vomiting, diarrhea, mucousy or bloody feces, loss of appetite, pale mucous membranes, or a potbellied appearance. The vomiting, diarrhea, anemia, and dehydration caused by intestinal parasites can weaken a cat, making it more susceptible to viral and bacterial infections and other diseases. Importantly, some GI parasites of cats have the potential to infect humans.

Roundworm infections are usually relatively benign, but affected kittens may show vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, or loss of appetite. If left untreated, roundworm infections may cause potentially life-threatening anemia (low red blood cell count) and, in extreme cases, stomach rupture, so infection should be taken seriously and treated aggressively. Infection is confirmed by the presence of parasite eggs during microscopic examination of the stool. Several medications treat roundworm infections effectively in cats, but owners can minimize the likelihood of infection by prohibiting hunting and reducing exposure to the feces of infected cats. Treating queens prior to breeding reduces the likelihood that the parasite will infect kittens. It is important to note that reinfection after successful treatment is relatively common.

Whipworms are an uncommon parasite of cats in the United States. Adult whipworms reside in the large intestine and usually do not cause serious disease, although heavy infestations may cause diarrhea.

Stomach Worms Ollanulus tricuspis and Physaloptera species are worms that inhabit the feline stomach. Ollanulus infections occur sporadically in the U. S. and are more common in free-roaming cats and those housed in multiple-cat facilities. Cats become infected by ingesting the parasite-laden vomit of another cat. Chronic vomiting and loss of appetite, along with weight loss and malnutrition may be seen, although some infected cats show no signs of disease. Diagnosis of Ollanulus infection can be difficult, and relies upon detecting parasite larvae in the vomit. Effective treatment is available, and avoiding exposure to cat vomit is the most effective way to control infection.

Physaloptera infections are even more rare than Ollanulus infections. Adult female worms attached to the stomach lining pass eggs that are eaten by an intermediate host, usually a cockroach or cricket. After developing within the intermediate host, the parasite causes infection when a cat ingests the insect or a transport host, such as a mouse, that has eaten an infected insect. Cats infected with Physaloptera may experience vomiting and loss of appetite. Diagnosis requires microscopic detection of parasite eggs in the stool, or seeing the parasite in the vomit. Effective treatment exists, and infection can be prevented by limiting exposure to intermediate and transport hosts.

Toxoplasma (For more detailed information on this parasite, see our Toxoplasmosis article) Cats are the definitive host for the Toxoplasma gondii organism. Infection with this one-celled parasite is fairly common, but rarely causes disease in cats. Cats become infected by eating any of the three infective stages of Toxoplasma; most commonly by eating tissue cysts in infected prey or in other raw meat. Toxoplasma multiplies in the small intestine and the oocysts are excreted in the feces after two to three weeks. These oocysts take approximately one to five days to become infective after being shed, highlighting the importance of daily cleaning of the litter box to control the spread of toxoplasmosis. Toxoplasmosis can be transmitted to humans, although most otherwise healthy people infected with this organism show few if any signs of disease. The exceptions to this are immunocompromised individuals and pregnant women, both of whom should be very careful to avoid exposure to infective Toxoplasma oocysts (see our article on Zoonotic Diseases).

The treatment of gastrointestinal parasites often requires medication prescribed by a veterinarian. Whenever using medications, be sure to follow the provided directions carefully. Parasite reinfections are very common, but can be prevented. Parasite control begins with good sanitation procedures. This includes daily removal of feces, washing the litter box with a disinfectant, such as diluted household bleach, on a regular basis, avoiding overcrowded conditions, avoiding diets with raw meats, and controlling intermediate hosts like fleas, ticks, and rodents. Good parasite control is the key to a healthier cat. 2351a5e196
