Granulomas form around Schistosoma eggs and can damage internal organs (liver, lungs,
etc.)

Observe this life cycle for Naegleria fowleri, an amoebic protozoan also called "the
brain eating amoeba". N. fowleri usually completes its entire life cycle by eating
bacteria (e.g., in pond water). What is an appropriate term for its relationship with
humans?
Each of the following parasite is transmitted by insect EXCEPT:
Leishmania tropica
Plasmodium vivax
Entamoeba histolytica
Rickettsia
