Maximise Parasites Flashcards
What is transmission
Spread between parasites to host
What type of transmission rate do virulent parasites have
High
What type of density is found on hosts for maximum transmission
High
What can be suppressed by maximising transmission
Host immune system
What can occur when the overcoming host immunity improves
Rapid evolution
Transmission can be air borne and
Water-borne
What happens to the hosts breeding when infected with high levels of parasites
Decreases/ reproductive rate modified
During the asexual life cycle phase it allows a rapid build up of what type of parasites
Adapted
Examples or what can nullify the need for a healthy host in the life cycle
Mosquito
Or vector
Ectoparasites usually move by what type
Direct contact
Endoparasites usually move by
Vectors or consumptions of intermediate hosts
