Non pathogenic parasite

20
Q

Parasite living inside the body of the host.

A

Endoparasite

21
Q

Inhabits the intestinal or body tissues which may cause serious disease.

A

Endoparasite

22
Q

The presence of parasite in a host is called INFECTION.

A

Endoparasite

23
Q

Parasite living outside the host

A

Ectoparasite

24
Q

These are arthropods that either cause disease or transmits other parasite.

A

Ectoparasite

25
Q

Presence of parasite on a host is called INFESTATION.

A

Ectoparasite

26
Q

Complete dependent on it’s host and cannot survive outside of it.

A

Obligate parasite

27
Q

Most parasites are

A

Obligate parasites

28
Q

May exist in a free-living in the environment or parasitic according to the surrounding conditions.

A

Facultative parasite

29
Q

Affects an unusual host.

A

Accidental/Incidental parasite

30
Q

Parasites that established itself in a host where it does not ordinarily live.

A

Accidental/Incidental parasite

31
Q

Remains in or on the host for its entire life.

A

Permanent parasite

32
Q

Lives in the host only for the short period of time.

A

Temporary parasite

33
Q

They visit the host only for feeding.

A

Temporary parasite

34
Q

Free- living organism that passes through the digestive tract without infection in the host.

A

Biologic Vector
Mechanial/Phoretic Vector

41
Q

Transmits the parasite only after the latter has completed its development or reproduced inside the host.

A

Biologic Vector

42
