Discivered mosquito hosts

Manson

Discovered Trypanosomes and their transmission by tsetse flies

David Bruce

Area of biology concerned with the phenomemon of dependence of on living organisim on another

Parasitology

Comcerned with the animal parasite of man & their medical significancr as well as their importance in humam communities

Clinical parasitology

Living organisim with the purpose of procurring food & shelter, take up their abode temporarily or permanently on or within other living organism

Parasites

State of infection or infestation with an animal parasite

Parasitosis

The invasion of endoparasites

Infection

The external parasitism of ectoparasites

Infestation

Any reciprocal association in a species depends upon another for its existence

Parasitism

Organism that harbors a parasite

Host

Harbors the sexual stagr of the parasite

Definitive host

Harbors the asexual stage of the parasite

Intermediate host

The first host parasitized by the immature stages of the parasite

1st I.H.

Host harboring amdl immature stage of the parasite after it has left the 1st I.H.

2Nd I.H

Harbor the parasite & may act as source of infection

Reservoir host

Serve as mean of transport -usually vector

Paratenic host

An animate (living things) or inanimate (non-living things) object that carries infective stage of the parasite.

Vector

Any reciprocal association in which a species depends upon another for its existence (Type of relationship)

Parasitism

Type of association between two living organisms of different species in which both are benefitted but life apart is impossible

Symbiosis

Type of association between two living organism in which both benefit from each other but life apart is still possible

Mutualism

Type of association between two distinct organisms in which one, the commensal is benefited, while the host is neither injured nor benefited

Commensalism

Type of parasite that lives inside the body

Endoparasite

Type of parasite that lives outside or on the surface of the body.

Ectoparasite

Type of parasite that loves in the lumen of the intestine

Enterozoic

Type of parasite that lives within the cell

Coelozoic

Type of parasite lives in the blood

Hematozoic

Type of parasite that must live on or within the host during all or part of their lives which die if prevented to do so.

Obligatory

Type of parasite that is able to live as an independent organism

Facultative

Type of parasite that can cause an injury or harm

Pathogenic

Type of parasite that does not cause any harm

Non-pathogenic

Type of parasite that lives their whole life with the host

Permanent

Type of parasite that visit and leave their host at intervals

Intermittent/temporary

Type of parasite that occurs occasionally in an unusual course

Incidental

Type of parasite of another animal which pass through the human body without development or causing damage or injury

Spurious/Coprozoic

Type of parasite that wanders in an organ or habitat which is not its ordinary habitat

Erratic

Anything or any object that looks like a parasite (fake parasite)

Pseudoparasite
