Is it more beneficial for Neodermata to have one host or two hosts?
Neodermatahas two classes: class Trematoda and class Monogenea. Class Trematoda has the subclass Digenea, which has organisms that live through at least two different hosts. An example of this is Fasciola hepatica, the sheep's liver fluke. Class Monogenea has organisms that only need to live through one host.
Is it better to have a simple or complex life cycle? Which lives longer? Has more energy? Does more damage or good?
Trichomonas vaginalis is a Protozoa transmitted via sexual intercourse by what type of infective stage?
Cyst
Trophozoite
Cyst and Trophozoite
Eggs

Explain why. List all possible effects of parasite on the host. Explain each.arrow_forwardOne of the most characteristic symptoms of malaria is the alternation of attacks (involving a cold phase, a hot phase, and a sweating phase) with periods of 1 or 2 days of no or few fevers. Given the life cycle of Plasmodium what is the best explanation for this pattern: When free in the blood, merozoites release chemicals that directly cause body responses. Merozoites appear in coordinated “waves”, which explains the cycling attacks Merozoites entering the red blood cells generate a strong response from the red blood cells, which stimulates a massive immune response Attack phase correlates with simultaneous bursting of infected red blood cells, releasing thousands or millions of merozoites. This triggers massive immune response, resulting in symptoms Plasmodium generates a constant accumulation of irritants in the blood, mostly residues from digesting hemoglobin . Once the amount reaches a critical level, these trigger a massive immune responsearrow_forwardWhich 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 asexuallyarrow_forward
