ENTOMOLOGY Flashcards
the study of parasites, their life cycle, morphology, pathogenicity, transmission, epidemiology, and counter.
PARASITOLOGY
A relationship in which one of the participants live at the expense of its host.
PARASITISM
It is an organism that whish for the purpose of procuring food or food and shelter, visits briefly or take up abode temporarily or permanently outside or inside the body of another organism where it is usually does harm.
PARASITE

Kinds of parasite
1.OPTIONAL OCCASIONAL PARASITE
2. OBLIGATE OCCATSIONAL PARASITE
3. DETERMINATE TRANSITORY PARASITE
4. PERMANENT PARASITE
5. FIXED PARASITE
6. PROTELEAN PARASITE
7. MONOXENOUS PARASITE
8. HETEROXENOUS PARASITE
9. ENDOPARASITE/ INTERNAL PARASITE
10. EXOPARASITE/ EXTERNAL PARASITE
11. FACULTATIVE PARASITE
12. PSEUDO PARASITE
A kind of parasite that briefly visits their host to obtain nourishment, but not dependent upon them for their nourishment or shelter.
OPTIONAL OCCASIONAL PARASITE
A parasite the do not permanently live upon their host but are dependent upon them for nourishment and to some extent for shelter.
OBLIGATE OCCASIONAL PARASITE
Parasitism extend from the time of hatching of eggs to the time the eggs are produce by the adult.
They can be transmitted though contact
PERMANENT PARASITE
Parasitism is limited to a definite stage or stages in their life cycle during which time, parasitism can be obligate or continouos
DETERMINATE TRANSPOSITORY PARASITE
Parasite that cannot pass spontaneously from one host to another.
FIXED PARASITE
an insect in which only the immature eggs are parasitic.
PROTELEAN PARASITE
a parasite that requires a one host to complete their life cycle.
MONOXENOUS PARASITE
A parasite that requires two or more host to complete their life cycle.
HETEROXENOUS PARASITE
This refer to the host wherein the parasite reached sexual maturity.
PRIMARY HOST, DEFINITIVE OR FINAL HOST
Other host in which the parasite undergoes juvenile or larval development or asexual multiplication.
SECONDARY OR INTERMEDIATE HOST
Parasites that occur outside the body
ECTOPARASITE/EXTERNAL PARASITE
Parasite that occur inside the body, specifically in the alimentary canal, blood, muscle, and the other tissue of host.
ENDOPARASITE/INTERNAL PARASITE
The condition produced by the external parasite.
INFESTATION
The term use referring to the condition having internal parasite.
INFECTION
A parasite that could exist as both free living and as parasite.
FACULTATIVE PARASITE
Refers to a parasite which are often mistaken for true parasite eggs and larvae, because it resembles them.
PSEUDOPARASITE.
They serve as carriers.
Final host that harbor infection without showing any signs.
RESERVOIR HOST
