Q

Give the Description and Example (Scientific or Common Name)

Intermediate Host

A

Description: A host that is not the final host, only the larval stage of parasites

Example (Scientific or Common Name):
A pig infected with Trichinella spiralis

17
Q

Give the Description and Example (Scientific or Common Name)

Definitive Host

A

Description: The final host, wherein parasites reproduce there sexually

Example (Scientific or Common Name):
Humans

18
Q

Give the Description and Example (Scientific or Common Name)

Paratenic Host

A

Description: A host that house parasite which does not develop further

Example (Scientific or Common Name):
Fish infected with D. latum

19
Q

Give the Description and Example (Scientific or Common Name)

Reservoir host

A

Description: A host that house other parasite other than its own parasite

Example (Scientific or Common Name):
Roof rat with infected parasite (Oriental rat flea)

20
Q

Give the Description and Example (Scientific or Common Name)

Accidental Host

A

Description: A host that have accidentally ingested or inhaled a parasite that is not normally its parasite

Example (Scientific or Common Name):
humans with fish parasites

21
Q

Give the Description and Example (Scientific or Common Name)

Biological Vector

A

Description: Essential in the life cycle of a parasite

Example (Scientific or Common Name):
Mosquito

22
Q

Give the Description and Example (Scientific or Common Name)

Mechanical Vector

A

Description: Non-essential, and is not important to the life cycle of a parasite

Example (Scientific or Common Name):
cysts carried over to food by legs of vectors

23
Q

What is the difference between a direct and indirect life cycle?

A

In a direct life cycle, the parasite can either infect the same host that it reproduces in or pass on to another host in the same species. In contrast, in an indirect life cycle, the parasite requires a definitive host, where it reproduces sexually, and one or more intermediate hosts, where it undergoes asexual reproduction, to complete its life cycle.

24
Q

Give 5 equipment and their function needed in any Parasitology studies (MiCe PIF)

A
  1. Microscope
  2. Centrifuge
  3. PCR machine
  4. Incubator
  5. Fecal Flotation device
25
Q

Microscope

A

used to magnify the size of parasites, allowing for identification and study of their morphology and characteristics.

26
Q

Centrifuge

A

used to separate different components of a sample, allowing for concentration of parasites and detection of their eggs or larvae.

27
Q

Incubator

A

used to create a controlled environment for parasites to grow and reproduce in the laboratory.

28
Q

PCR machine

A

used to amplify DNA sequences from parasites for detection and identification.

29
Q

Fecal flotation device

A

used to separate parasite eggs or larvae from fecal material, allowing for their identification and detection.

30
