Which of the following are true regarding parasites in the phylum
Apicomplexa?
a) they are intracellular parasites
b) when they are inside cells, they exist within a parasitophorous vacuole
c) the phylum includes the malaria parasites
d) movement of the parasites into cells involves the action of an actomyosin
motor
e) they only reproduce asexually
what is the only known coccidial parasite that does not have intermediate hosts?
Parasitism is a symbiotic relationship, where the parasite (symbiont) obtains nutrients from its host.
1) Contrast endoparasitism and ectoparasitism.
2) Describe one invertebrate endoparasite you find interesting and identify its definitive host (and any intermediate hosts).
3) Describe one invertebrate ectoparasite you find interesting and identify its definitive host (and any intermediate hosts).
