Q

Mention the type of Host and Write short explanation about each one?

A
  1. Definitive host - harbors the 🙎🏻‍♂️adult,mature,sexual parasite
  2. Intermediate host- harbors the 👼🏻young,immature,asexual parasite
  3. Reservoir hosts - harbors animal 🐶
  4. Paratenic host- harbors parasite’lived or died’ that belong to plant,animal by food contaminated 🥐🪱

Q

Mention the Host-Parasite Relationship?and write ✍️ short note 📝

A

Mutualism / Both host and symbiont benefit and Don’t harmed ,can be long or short term
ببساطة العلاقه اللطيفة يتستفيدون من بعض بدون أذية

Commensalism/ The symbiont benefits by receiving transportation,housing,nutrition and the host don’t helped nor harmed
العلاقه المعفنه واحد يستفيد على حساب الثاني بدون مايضر😒
Parasitism/ the symbiont lives in/on the Host
Symbiont is Benefits, Host is Harmed
واحد يستفيد على حساب تضرر الثاني 😡
