Q

Type of parasite that is found in an organ that is not its usual habitat.

A

Erratic Parasite

17
Q

A parasite that lives on the host for a short period of time.

A

Temporary parasite

18
Q

A parasite that establishes itself in a host where it does not ordinarily live.

A

Accidental or Incidental Parasite

19
Q

Parasite that remains in or on the body of the host for its entire life.

A

Permanent parasite

20
Q

A parasite that may exist in a free-living state or may become parasitic when the need arises.

A

Facultative parasite

21
Q

A parasite living inside the body (internal organs/tissues) of a host.

A

Endoparasite

22
Q

A parasite living outside on the surface of the body of a host.

A

Ectoparasite

23
Q

A parasite that requires a host at some stage of their life cycle to complete their development and propagate their species.

A

Obligate parasite (Holoparasite)

24
Q

Name the five types of host.

A
  1. Definitive or final host
  2. Intermediate host
  3. Paratenic host
  4. Reservoir host
  5. Incidental host
25
Q

A type of host in which the parasite does not develop further to later stages. The parasite remains alive and can infect another susceptible host.

A

Paratenic host

26
Q

A type of host in which the parasite attains sexual maturity.

A

Definitive or final host

27
Q

A type of host in which though infected is not necessarily for the survival or development of the parasite.

A

Incidental host

28
Q

A type of host in which is harbors the asexual or larval stage of the parasite.

A

Intermediate host

29
Q

A type of host that is infected by a parasite, and serves as a source of infection for humans or another species.

A

Reservoir host

30
Q

It is responsible for transmitting the parasite from one host to another.
