science that deals with the study of living organism that depends on
another organism, for the purpose of procuring food and securing
protection.

Answer 1

Parasitology

Question 2

Organism that obtains its food and shelter from another organism and
derive all the benefits from the association

Answer 2

Parasite

Question 3

The organism that provides physical protection and nourishment to the
parasite.

Answer 3

Host

Question 4

means “living together”, and may also involve protection or other advantages to one or both partners.

Answer 4

Symbiosis

Question 5

Latin for “eating on the same table”, denotes an association that is beneficial to partners that at least one advantageous to the other

Answer 5

Commensalism

Question 6

a type of commensalism where the association are both beneficial to both organism

Answer 6

Mutualism

Question 7

a symbiotic relationship in which one animal, the host, is to
some degree injured through the activities of the other animal, the parasite.

Answer 7

Parasitism

Question 8

organism that cannot survive in any other manner

Answer 8

Obligate Parasite

Question 9

organism that can exist in a free-living state or as a commensal and that, if opportunity does not present itself, may become parasitic.

Answer 9

Facultative Parasite

Question 10

obligatory parasite at one or more stages of their life cycle but free
living at others

Answer 10

Temporary

Question 11

establish itself to a host where it does not ordinarily live Permanent Parasite remains in or on the body of the host for its entire life

Answer 11

Accidental/Incidental

Question 12

free living organism that passes through the digestive tract
without infecting the host

Answer 12

Spurious/Coprozoic

Question 13

when a parasite is found in an organ which is not its usual habitat.

Answer 13

Erratic

Question 14

harbors the adult or sexual stage of the parasite

Answer 14

Definitive Host

Question 15

harbors the asexual or larval stage of the parasite

Answer 15

Intermediate Host

Question 16

harbors the early larval stage of the parasite.

Answer 16

First Intermediate Host

Question 17

harbors the infective larval stage of the parasite

Answer 17

Second Intermediate Host

Question 18

allow the parasite’s life cycle to continue and become additional
source of infection to other susceptible hosts

Answer 18

Reservoir Host

Question 19

the one in which the parasite does not develop further to later stages. However, the parasite remains alive and is able to infect another susceptible host

Answer 19

Paratenic Host

Question 20

transmit the parasite after it has completed its development
within the host, thus it is an essential part of the parasite’s cycle

Answer 20

Biological Vector

Question 21

It only transports the parasite

Answer 21

Mechanical Vector

Question 22

infected individual becomes his own source of infection

Answer 22

Autoinfection

Question 23

the already infected individual is further infected with same species leading to massive infection of the parasite

the time between exposure to the parasite and the appearance of early signs and symptoms

Answer 28

Clinical Incubation Period (CIP)

Question 29

the development of the parasite in the host and demonstration of parasite in the specimen

Answer 29

Biological Incubation Period
