A parasite that cannot lead an independent nonparasitic existence, in contrast to facultative parasite.
Obligate parasites require a host to complete their life cycle and cannot survive without one. Facultative parasites can live either independently or as parasites depending on the environment and conditions.
Moraxella are: - bacteria - short gram negative rods that occur in pairs - obligate parasites of mucosal surfaces
They are obligate paracites.They cannot multiply without another living cell
Yes, chlamydias are obligate intracellular parasites.
Because viruses can not reproduce or produce protein without a host cell
Sporozoa is a species of obligate intracellular protozoan parasites. These are the causing agent of malaria in humans and animals, transmitted by female mosquitoes.
Rickettsias are obligate intracellular parasites that require a eukaryotic host for growth and replication. Chlamydias also depend on eukaryotic cells for propagation but have a unique developmental cycle involving an infectious elementary body and a non-infectious reticulate body. Both groups are known for causing diseases in humans.
Hello! The rhinovirus, which is known to cause the common cold in humans, is not an obligate anaerobe. Viruses in general really don't mind if the host they are infecting is an anaerobe or not, and they don't have the organelles and specialised proteins and enzymes required for cellular respiration. However, viruses are obligate intracellular parasites, i.e., they have to infect a highly capable host to reproduce many copies of themselves. Hope this response helped you! 😃
Viruses are not cells and are not made up of cells. They are considered obligate intracellular parasites, meaning they can only replicate inside the cells of a host organism.
These are called intracellular parasites. All viruses are in this group. Obligate bacteria types include Rickettisae and Chlamydia. Also there are a few that are considered to be non-obligate:Mycobacterium and Brucella.
Yes, obligate saprophytes are organisms that can only survive by decomposing organic matter, while facultative saprophytes can switch between being parasitic and saprophytic depending on the availability of resources.
Yes they do. Cytosol is the matrix within which all the cellular mechanisms occur. There is no organism as such that does not have the cytosol. Viruses obviously do not have a cytosol because they are not organisms. Viruses are obligate parasites which can multiply only within a particular host.
