Summary Introduction
To determine: The human diseases which show successful
Introduction: Parasite and host relationship is called parasitism. In parasitism, one organism takes benefit from the other while the other organism gets harmed. The organism taking benefit is called a parasite, and the other is called host.

Below are statements about symbiosis. Choose the correct responses. ( Only pick one answer per [ ] )
["Commensalism", "Mutualism", "Parasitism"] is a term that describes when two organisms both benefit from a relationship. One example of this you will view is lab is ["Viruses Infecting Bacteria", "Yeast Fermenting sugar", "Bacteria such as Rhizobium living in plant structures called root nodules"] .
["Commensalism", "Mutualism", "Parasitism"] is a term that describes when one organism benefits, while the second organism is not harmed, and does not benefit.
["Commensalism", "Mutualism", "Parasitism"] is a term that describes when one organism benefits while the second organism is harmed. In lab you will explore ["Viruses Infecting Bacteria", "Yeast Fermenting sugar", "Bacteria such as Rhizobium living in plant structures called root nodules"] as an example of this relationship.

- Hello, What else would you add to this explanation about "Ascaris lumbricoides", can be any cusious fact about it :) Ascaris lumbricoides, commonly known as the human roundworm. It is a parasitic worm that infects about 772–892 million people worldwide. It belongs to a group of parasites known as soil-transmitted helminths (STH), which are spread through contact with contaminated soil. The adult worms live in the human intestine, where they can cause various health problems, especially in children. Infection usually occurs when a person consumes food or water contaminated with infective Ascaris eggs from soil. This is common in areas with poor sanitation and hygiene practices, especially in tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, and the Americas (About Ascariasis, 2024). The life cycle begins when an infected person’s feces contaminates soil with Ascaris eggs. These eggs mature and become infective, spreading to humans through ingesting contaminated food or…arrow_forwardGive an example of a disease transmitted by each of the following: mosquitoes; fleas; lice; ticks; mites.arrow_forwardSelect all the statements that are true regarding the drug treatments available for infectious diseases.□ Antiviral drugs are harder to develop than antibiotics because viruses must use our cellular machinery replicate. □ Very few anti-parasitic drugs exist because diseases caused by Eukaryotes are extremely rare all over the world.□ Fewer drugs are available to treat Eukaryotic pathogens because their physiology and functions are very similar to our own.□ Development of antiparasitic drugs are a low priority because the diseases they treat tend to occur in poor countries, and drug companies can't make money.□ Antivirals may quit working because rates of viral mutation are very high.□ There are more antiviral drugs than atibiotics because antiviral drugs are very easy and cheap to make.arrow_forward
