25
protozoans that can inhabit the gastrointestinal tract
Flagellates
26
where one organism lives in or on another depending on the latter for its survival
Parasitism
27
erodes the intestinal wall by destroying tissues by proteolytic enzyme
Entamoeba histolytica
28
no physiologic or biologic interaction that occurs between the host and the phoront
Phoresis
29
study of an organism that depends and an organism that provides shelter and nourishment
Parasitology
30
parasite found inside the host
Endoparasite
31
parasite found outside the host
Ectoparasite
32
parasite found in an organ which is not its natural habitat
Erratic
33
parasite found in the small intestine of humans but are sometimes erratic
Ascaris lumbricoides
34
parasite typically found in the lungs; can find its way to the brain
Paragonimus westermani
35
also called as lung flukes as they live in the lungs
Paragonimus westermani
36
cannot survive in any other manner in the absence of a host
Obligate Parasite
37
Obligate Parasites
ascaris, hookworm, trichuris, & tapeworm
38
exist in a free-living state or may become parasitic when the need arises
Facultative Parasite
39
Facultative Parasites
Strongyloides stercoralis Pathogenic free-living amoeba
40
obligatory at one or more stages in the life cycle
Temporary Parasite
41
parasite that establishes itself in a host which it does not usually live
Accidental / Incidental Parasite
42
parasite found in cats
Toxocora cati
43
periodically seek other and larger forms on which to nourish themselves
Intermittent parasite
44
remains on or in the body of the host for its entire life
Permanent parasite
45
free-living organism that passes through the digestive tract without infecting the host
Temporary parasite
46
free-living organism that passes through the digestive tract without infecting the host
Spurious Parasite
47
parasite capable of producing or releasing immature eggs
Oviparous Parasite
48
harbors or carries the mature (adult and sexual) stage of the parasite
Definitive / Final Host
49
host that harbors the larval or asexual stage of the parasite
Intermediate Host
50
where larval stage or asexual reproduction happens
Intermediate host
51
difference of a paratenic host and a reservoir host
1. Paratenic host - does not develop further to later stages to later stages and can infect other hosts 2. Reservoir Host - alternative host to a parasite and become an additional source to human infection
52

53
responsible for transmission and harbors the infective stage of the parasite
Vectors
54
stage of parasite that is needed in order to infect
Infective stage
55
vector part of the life cycle of the parasite
Biologic Vector
56
not part of the life cycle; purpose to transport parasite in its infective state
