Q

Type of HOST-PARASITE RELATIONSHIP in which either can not exist independently.

20
Q

Type of HOST-PARASITE RELATIONSHIP in which one benefits from the other without causing harm.

A

COMMENSALISM

21
Q

Type of HOST-PARASITE RELATIONSHIP in which both are benefited yet can exist independently.

22
Q

Type of HOST-PARASITE RELATIONSHIP in which one is entirely dependent on the other that causes harm.

A

PARASITISM

23
Q

Invasion of the infective agent in the host.

24
Q

It is the development and reproduction of parasite on the surface body of the host?

A

INFESTATION

25
Q

It harbors a particular pathogen without manifesting any s/sx.

26
Q

Infection acquired by an individual resulting from their own direct source of re-exposure?

A

AUTOINFECTION

27
Q

Individual is infected after being cured and gets reinfected by the same parasite.

A

REINFECTION

28
Q

Host is harboring more than one parasite at a time.

A

SUPERINFECTION/HYPERINFECTION

29
Q

What are the phases of parasitism? (4)

A
  1. Contact and entry to the host
  2. Migration of parasite to habitat
  3. Maturation and reproduction
  4. Exit & development / dissemination
30
Q

It refers to a dse with low incidence but constantly present in a given community.

31
Q

Refers to the degree of tolerance to a certain pathogen.

A

ENDEMICITY

32
Q

Factor that promote endemicity of parasites. (3)

A
  1. Presence of a suitable host
  2. Escape of the parasite from the host
  3. Environmental conditions that enhances the survival of the parasite outside of the host.
33
Q

It refers to a dse with high incidence and is constantly present in a given community.

A

HYPERENDEMIC

34
Q

It refers to a sharp rise/high mobidity of the dse and is occasionally present in the community.

35
Q

It refers to a dse that appears occasionally in 1 or some members of a community.

36
Q

Refers to the spread of dse that has been disseminated over extensive area of the world?
