I thought that the chapters focusing on the parasites were very interesting. It was like Cal was taking a break from the main story, sat down and started to share facts about some parasites and how they influence people. It was better that there were individual chapters about parasites than describing the parasites in the middle of the story because it would disrupt the flow of the story in the chapter. But at the end of each chapter, the story is momentarily put to a halt, so you mine as well fill in the reader on some parasites that Cal will mention in the future by either comparing them to an event or person; just like how he did with hookworms, Toxoplasma, and slimeballs. I feel that the chapters on the parasites were important to understand the story.
