Why are parasites not in the U.S? |
1.Temperatures- climate is not consistent 2. Good system of diagnosis 3. Sanitation- clean water ( somewhat) 4. Technology- advanced always coming up with new things 5. Good health/nutrition people like to stay healthy and eat well balanced diet 6. Vectors- insects |
|
|

Classification |
|
Classification define |
System of arrangement of living organism into groups that show a relationship Groups are called taxons, groups, category |

Process by which an unknown organism is confirmed as belongings to a specific group |
Unknown organsim belonging to what |
|
What is the diagnostic cycle? |
1. Doctors office -signs and symptoms 2. Doctor orders the test 3. Specimen is collected 4. Sent to the lab 5. Identification is done 6. Results sent back to the doctor 7. Doctor treats the patient |
|
|
Symbiosis define |
Association of different organism of different species living together. There are two types of symbiosis. |
|
|
What are the two symbiosis? |
1. Commensalism 2. Mutalism |
|
|
Commensalism define |
One organism that benefits the other one by living off it |
|
|
Mutalism define |
Beneficial to both Ex. Bacteria in the intestine |
|
|
Parasitism define |

|
|
Host |
Another organism the parasite is living on |
|
|
There are two types of host what are they? |
1. Intermediate 2. Definitive |
|
|
Intermediate define |
Parasite passes larvae stage or asexual reproduction stage |
|
|
Definitive stage |
Parasite where it passes Lives at adult stage or asexual stage |
|
|
Reservoir |
Can be a animal, insect, lake, land Harbors the parasite where a host can become infected |
It harbors parasites |
|
Host specificity |
Range of diff host in which parasite can develop Some can only develop in dogs and cats |
|
|
Incidental |
Affection of host other than it's hoat |
|
|
Zoonotic |
Contagious from pets to humans |

Obligatory parasite |
Parasite that cant live away from a host |
|
|
Facultative parasites |
Live independently with out host |
|
|
Carrier |
Host that harbors a parasite that can be transmitted to another host and they show no signs or symptoms |
|
|
Vector |
Transport parasites from infected host to non-infected host |
|
|
What are the two types of vectors? |
1. Mechanical 2. Biological |
|
|
Mechanical |
Transport parasite (passively) no growth or development occurs in the insect |
|
|
Biological |
Essential in the life cycle of parasite and development or change of parasite that takes place in the vector |
|
|
Life cycle |
How the parasite lives, thrives and mature |
|
|
Life cycle stages |
A. Diagnostic stage -what is identifiable that the doctor can make a diagnosis B. Infective stage - parasite that enter host and continue infection, become pathogenic C. Method of infection - how it got into the host - portal of entry/portal of exit D. How parasite affect host - give off secretary that ia toxic
|
|
|
Parasite and how it affects the host body |
1. Enzyme destroys tissue 2. Gets into the RBC it burst them amd destroys them 3. Attached to organs witb suckers and causes irritation 4. Travel to diff parts of the body 5. Cause perforation to intestine 6. Cause intestinal problems such as obsession 7. Need nutrients |
|
|
How does the host affect the parasite |
1. Good immune system- antibodies will be able to fight back 2. Ethnic differences will help thrive the parasite. |
