What is the difference between obligate and facultative parasites?
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.
What is moraxella?
Moraxella are: - bacteria - short gram negative rods that occur in pairs - obligate parasites of mucosal surfaces
Is bacteria obligate intracellular parasites?
Not all bacteria are obligate intracellular parasites. While some bacteria, like Chlamydia and Rickettsia, require host cells for replication and survival, many bacteria are free-living and can thrive independently in various environments. Obligate intracellular parasites specifically depend on host cells for their life cycle, whereas other bacteria can grow and reproduce outside of host organisms.
Why viruses are considered as parasites?
They are obligate paracites.They cannot multiply without another living cell
Why viruses are refered to as obligate parasites?
Because viruses can not reproduce or produce protein without a host cell
Do Chlamydias lack the ability to independently complete growth and metabolism?
Yes, chlamydias are obligate intracellular parasites.
What are the treatments of sporozoa?
Sporozoa is a species of obligate intracellular protozoan parasites. These are the causing agent of malaria in humans and animals, transmitted by female mosquitoes.
What makes rickettsias and chlamydias unique to the bacteria?
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.
What is obligate host?
An obligate host is an organism that is essential for the survival, reproduction, or development of another organism, typically a parasite or a symbiont. The relationship is often highly specific, meaning the parasite or symbiont can only thrive within that particular host species. For example, certain parasites may only be able to reproduce inside their obligate host, relying on it for essential nutrients or specific environmental conditions.
Is the rhinovirus an obligate anaerobe?
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! 😃
What type of microbe is not a cell or made up of cells?
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.
What kind of pathogenic organism live inside cells?
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.
