A

Ectoparasites
Endoparasites

39
Q

Name the Categories of Endoparasites:

A

Obligate parasite; Facultative parasite; Accidental parasites; Aberrant parasites; Free living parasites

40
Q

Parasite that do not exist without a host, e.g. Toxoplasma gondii and Plasmodium.

A

Obligate parasite:

41
Q

Organism which may either live as parasitic form or as fre e-living form, e.g. Naegleria fowleri.

A

Facultative parasite:

42
Q

Parasites, which infect an unusual host are known as. Echinococcus granulosus infects man accidentally, giving rise to hydatid cysts.

A

Accidental parasites:

43
Q

Parasites, which infect a host where they cannot develop further are known as , e.g. Toxocara canis (dog roundworm) infecting humans.

A

Aberrant parasites:

44
Q
  • It refers to nonparasitic stages of active existence, which live independent of the host, e.g. cystic stage of Naegleria fowleri
A

Free living parasites

45
Q

Life Cycle of Parasites:

________
- Parasite that requires only one host to complete its development,

- Parasite that requires two hosts (one definitive host and another intermediate host) to complete its development

A

Direct/simple life cycle:

Indirect/complex life cycle:

46
Q

is defined as an organism, which harbors the parasite and provides nourishment and shelter to latter and is relatively larger than the parasite

A

Host

Q

What type of association??

A

Commensalism

62
Q

What type of association??

Crab and sea-urchin: The crab (Eumedon conuictor) lives in a large cavity found on the back of the sea-urchin (Echinothrix turca). The crab does not exert any energy in swimming around the host, on the other hand, it shares the food of the sea-urchin and enjoys its protection.

A

Commensalism

63
Q

What type of association??

Hermit crab and sea anemone lives on the back of a crab. The anemone is benefited by being moved to new hunting grounds and obtaining morsels of food torn off by the crab, while the crab is protected by the bulk and stinging tentacles of the bulk and stinging tentacles of the anemone.

A

Mutualism

Q

What type of association??

In the herbivores ruminal flora help in the digestion of cellulose in ruminants and in return get the protection and food.

A

Mutualism
