PARASITOLOGY1.THE AREA OF BIOLOGY CONCERNED W/ THE

PHENOMENON OF DEPENDENCE OF ONE LIVING ORGANISM ON ANOTHER

2.LARGELY A STUDY OF SYMBIOSIS, OR, LITERALLY, “LIVING TOGETHER.”

2

SYMBIOSIS: CLOSE ASSOCIATION OF TWO LIVE ORGANISMS (USUALLY OF DIFFERENT SPECIES)

PARASITE LIVES ON OR IN ITS HOST COMMENSALISM: THE PARASITE DERIVES

BENEFIT WO/ RECIPROCATING & WO/ INJURY TO THE HOST

MUTUALISM: BENEFICIAL TO BOTH ASSOCIATES PARASITISM: THE PARASITE HARMS ITS HOST

OR IN SOME SENSE LIVES AT THE EXPENSE OF THE HOST

VECTORS: HOSTS THAT TRANSMIT PARASITES TO HUMAN

3

VECTORS1.BIOLOGIC VECTORS: ESSENTIAL IN THE LIFE

CYCLE

2.PHORETIC (MECHANICAL) VECTORS: NOT ESSENTIAL IN THE LIFE CYCLE

4

ECTOPARASITE: PARASITE LIVES ON THE SURFACE OF ITS HOST

ENDOPARASITE: LIVES IN ITS HOST OBLIGATE PARASITE: IT CAN’T EXIST WO/ A

HOST FACULTATIVE PARASITE: NORMALLY NOT

PARASITIC BUT CAN BECOME SO WHEN IT ACCIDENTALLY EATEN OR ENTER HUMAN BODY

5

HOST1. DEFINITIVE: SPECIFIC FOR A PARTICULAR SPECIES

OF PARASITE2. INTERMEDIATE: REQUIRED FOR PARASITE

DEVELOPMENT BUT ONE IN WHICH DOESN’T REACH SEXUAL MATURITY

3. RESERVOIR: ANY ANIMAL THAT HARBORS AN INFECTION THAT CAN TRANSMITTED TO HUMANS

4. INCIDENTAL: INCIDENTALLY INVOLVED AS A HOST5. PARATENIC (TRANSPORT): PARASITE DOESN’T

UNDERGO ANY DEVELOPMENT BUT IN WHICH IT REMAINS ALIVE & INFECTIVE TO ANOTHER HOST

6

ZOONOSIS1.“DISEASE OF ANIMAL”2.DISEASES OF ANIMALS THAT ARE

TRANSMISSIBLE TO HUMAN

7

INFECTION1.THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARASITE TO ITS

HOST2.APPROPRIATE DESIGNATION FOR ALL

ANIMAL SPECIES THAT ARE ENDOPARASITEINFESTATION1.THOSE THAT ARE ECTOPARASITE2.MOST FREQUENTLY APPLIED TO SPECIES OF

ARTHROPODS
