parasitiasis
animal does produce
signs
parasitosis
Host/species specificity
Associated only with one species of host, or
closely related hosts
Organ specificity
Each parasite species has its predilection site or on the host
Optional Occasional/Periodic Parasite
Parasite that briefly visit their host to
obtain nourishment but not dependent on them
Do not permanently live upon their host but are dependent upon them for
nourishment
Obligate Occasional Parasite
Determinate transitory
Parasitism is limited to stage/s in their life cycle
Explain Permanent parasite
Parasitism extends from the time of hatching of the eggs to the time that the eggs are produced by the adult
Fixed Parasite
Cannot pass spontaneously from one host to the other e.g helminthes
Wander from its usual site
Erratic and abberant Parasite
An anthropoparasite that affects man
Enterobius vermicularis
equally specific parasites
that affects man and animals (example)
Trichinella spiralis
man is essential for the life cycle e.g Taenia in
man
enzoones
parazoonoses
man is just accidentally involved
Require a single host specie to complete the life cycle (example)
Trichuris vulpis
It requires 2 or more host species to complete the life cycle
Heteroxenous parasite
Affects broad range of final hosts
euryxenous parasite
Affects narrow range of final hosts
stenoxenous parasites
harbors sexual, mature, or adult stage. eg. whipworms
final or definitive hosts
