How long must a malaria parasite grow in its host before infection can be spread to human being?
It takes about 8-30 days for the malaria parasite to complete its growth in the mosquito before it is capable of infecting a human host. This period allows the parasite to develop in the mosquito's salivary glands, where it can be transmitted to humans when the mosquito bites.
Explain parasitism and provide an example of this relationship?
One example of a parasite would be the parasitic plant Cuscuta which is a yellow colored climber plant. It produces special kinds of outgrowths on this stem called haustoria. These haustoria penetrate the tissue of the host plant and connects to the vascular tissue. It then absorbs the required nutrients from the host plant.
Why virus are called obligatory parasites?
They are obligate in the sense that they cannot replicate outside of a host cell. To make a copy of itself, a virus must first enter a cell (intracellular), hijack the machinations of said cell (parasitic behavior) and then copy itself.
