Question 1

Veterinary parasitology

Answer 1

Study of parasites of domestic animals

Question 2

Parasitology

Answer 2

is the science that explores the relationship between various animal hosts and their parasites

Question 3

Symbiosis

Answer 3

Symbiosis
Any association between at least two different living organisms of different species.

Question 4

Host

Answer 4

Host
Usually larger of the two species and harbors the symbiont

Question 5

Symbiont

Answer 5

Symbiont
Smaller of the two species and obtains food and habitant from host

Question 6

Mutualism

Answer 6

Mutualism
Relationship between two organisms of different species but both species are both benefiting from the relationship . E.g. intestinal protozoa in termites

Question 7

Commensaslim

Answer 7

is a type of relationship, in which one symbiont derives benefit from the other symbiont (host) but the host is neither benefited nor harmed

Question 8

Paratism

Answer 8

an association between two-species, in which one species, the parasite benefits and another specie the host is harmed.

Question 9

Definitive Host (primary /Final Host )

Answer 9

Definitive Host (primary /Final Host )
The host in which the parasite is best adapted and in which it develops to an adult or sexually mature stage and reproduces.

Question 10

Intermediate host

Answer 10

Host that harbors sexually immature stages of the parasites or larva stage (stage don’t reproduce or if they do then its by asexual reproduction

Question 11

Accidental host(incidental)

Answer 11

Parasites become established in host other than their final host and in which they cannot complete their life cycle.

Question 12

Paratenic host (transport)

Answer 12

There are some parasites that use additional hosts to overcome adverse environmental conditions or to increase the likelihood that the parasite will be transmitted to final host . No further development of parasite in these hosts

Question 13

Lifecycle

Answer 13

the entire sequence of stages in the life of a parasites from adults of one generation to adults of the next.

Question 14

Direct and indirect life cycle

Answer 14

Direct lifecycle
a parasite that can complete its life cycle in a single host ie no intermediate host.
Indirect life cycle
When a parasite requires an intermediate host or vector to complete its development (requires more than one host )

Question 15

Taxonomy

Answer 15

Taxonomy
Is the branch of biology dealing with identifying ,naming and classifying species
Taxon
Is one of the group that organisms are classified into.
The taxa into which organisms may be placed are recognized by
international agreement; the primary ones are:
kingdom
Phylum
Class
Order
Family
genus and species.
