24
Q

can live and multiply in the moist
ex: protozoans

25
live in RBC
Hematozoic
26
live inside the cell/tissues ex: isospora hominis
Cytozoic
27
live in body cavities ex: mansonella perstans
Coelozoic
28
lives inside the lumen of intestines
Enterozoic
29
forever parasite; lives in single host
Permanent parasite
30
larval stage is different from adult stage
Periodic
31
fix in an unsual habitat
Erratic
32
needs host; cannot survive without its own host ex: ascaris
Obligate
33
with/without host they an live; free living ex: thread worm
Facultative
34
visit host during feeding time only ex: mosquito
Intermittent
35
infects individual with underlying diseases
Opportunistic
36
under came a transient stay in the host (napadaan lang)
Spurious
37
establishes itself on the host in which it does not normally lives
Accidental/Incidental
38
based on the effect of parasite on the host
Pathogenic - cause infection Non Pathogenic (commensals)
39
requires a period of development in the soil
Soil transmitted
40
Types of vector
Mechanical vector - cockroach/flies Biological vector - pagkinagat ka (mosquito)
41
sources of infection
air animal one's self inanimate objects
42
Portals of entry
mouth skin intranasal transmammary transplacental sexual
43
portals of exit
stool urine sputum blood
44
