According to my parasitology lecturer infestation is used for the particular parasites that live in and around the skin. So external parasites give an infestation and internal parasites an infection. So in your case I would say if its in the blood the parasite probably is in an infection. -Steve Walker BSc. in Microbiology and Development Sociology Cornell University/University of Melbourne (Australia)
