Why are diseases transmitted by insect vectors more common in the summer than in the winter?
What is the difference between a prophylactic and a treatment? Which do you think is more likely to transform the impact of parasitic diseases globally?
Parasitism is a symbiotic relationship, where the parasite (symbiont) obtains nutrients from its host.
1) Contrast endoparasitism and ectoparasitism.
2) Describe one invertebrate endoparasite you find interesting and identify its definitive host (and any intermediate hosts).
3) Describe one invertebrate ectoparasite you find interesting and identify its definitive host (and any intermediate hosts).
