an obligate intercellular parasite is a parasite that depend on its host to survive, an example would be a virus which depends on its host's metapolic activities and synthesis processes to replicate
An obligate parasite can only live inside a cell. This includes viruses and intracellular bacteria. A facultative parasite can live inside or outside of a cell.
A parasite that cannot lead an independent nonparasitic existence, in contrast to facultative parasite.
Toxoplasma is commonly known as Toxoplasma gondii. It is obligate intercellular parasite that can infect the widest range of hosts known to science. Ab is an abbreviation for "antibody" of which IgM is one. The full name for IgM is Immunoglobulin M. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunoglobulin_M
Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted bacterial infection. It is caused by Chlamydia trachomatis, a gram-negative bacteria with a coccoid shape that is an obligate intracellular parasite. It is curable.
Chlamydia lives off its host cell. It's an obligate intracellular parasite.
Because they absolutely require living host cells in order to multiply
Some mistook chlamydia for a virus because it's an obligate intracellular parasite.
Chlamydia is like a cloak in that it is an obligate intracellar parasite. In that sense, it's "cloaked."
No, Streptococcus pneumoniae is not an intracellular obligate parasite. It is a bacterium that typically colonizes the upper respiratory tract of humans and can cause infections such as pneumonia, sinusitis, and meningitis. It is capable of surviving and replicating both inside and outside of host cells.
Yes, although it's an obligate intracellular parasite, it has the morphological charactestics of bacteria.
Yes, although chlamydia is an obligate intracellular parasite, it has the morphological characteristics of bacteria.
Like other viruses, herpes is an obligate intracellular parasite. It gets its energy from the host cell's ATP.
