Chapter 32, Problem 3RQ
Summary Introduction
Parasitism is a type of biological relationship that exists between the host and the microbe. In this type of relationship, the host is harmed while the microbe is benefited because it extracts its nutrition from the host body. Entamoeba and Naegleria are both human parasites and cause harm to the host.

airborne
fecal oral
Is it more beneficial for Neodermata to have one host or two hosts?
Neodermatahas two classes: class Trematoda and class Monogenea. Class Trematoda has the subclass Digenea, which has organisms that live through at least two different hosts. An example of this is Fasciola hepatica, the sheep's liver fluke. Class Monogenea has organisms that only need to live through one host.
Is it better to have a simple or complex life cycle? Which lives longer? Has more energy? Does more damage or good?
Trichomonas vaginalis is a Protozoa transmitted via sexual intercourse by what type of infective stage?
Cyst
Trophozoite
Cyst and Trophozoite
Eggs

- Use this information to anwer the question: Babesia microti is a red cell parasite that is endemic in the Northeastern and upper Midwestern regions of the US and responsible for the disease referred to as babesiosis. The parasite is most often transmitted by the bite of a deer tick but may also be transmitted by blood. Infection may be asymptomatic or cause non-specific symptoms: fever, fatigue, headache and muscle pain, or in some cases severe disease in those with a compromised immune system, hemoglobin-related diseases (such as sickle cell disease) or those lacking a spleen. The Red Cross began blood donation screening under an investigational protocol in June 2012 in the New England area and upper Midwest. Donors who consented for investigational screening were tested by two tests: an individual donation NAT assay (polymerase chain reaction, PCR) and an antibody assay, the latter using an automated indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA). Reactive donations were further tested by…arrow_forwardThe protozoans reviewed in class are transmitted to the host either through the fecal-oral route or through a vector.

Select one: a. Sporozoites b. Merozoites c. Gametocytes d. Paracytesarrow_forwardOne of the most characteristic symptoms of malaria is the alternation of attacks (involving a cold phase, a hot phase, and a sweating phase) with periods of 1 or 2 days of no or few fevers. Given the life cycle of Plasmodium what is the best explanation for this pattern: When free in the blood, merozoites release chemicals that directly cause body responses. Merozoites appear in coordinated “waves”, which explains the cycling attacks Merozoites entering the red blood cells generate a strong response from the red blood cells, which stimulates a massive immune response Attack phase correlates with simultaneous bursting of infected red blood cells, releasing thousands or millions of merozoites. This triggers massive immune response, resulting in symptoms Plasmodium generates a constant accumulation of irritants in the blood, mostly residues from digesting hemoglobin . Once the amount reaches a critical level, these trigger a massive immune responsearrow_forward
