My comment regarding the use of “burden” or “load” is as follows:  The
terms are probably used interchangeably but in my opinion, for what it’s
worth, “burden” is used in describing the natural parasitemia in a
vertebrate host, whereas “load” is used in experimentation such as when
blood samples are artificially spiked or loaded with parasites to specified
concentration (load).
