- Gram negative rods or coccobacilli 2) Unable to reproduce outside of a host cell. 3) Lost ability to synthesize needed for extracellular growth. 4) Transmitted when a blood-sucking arthropod (tick or louse) takes a blood meal from a human. 5) Rickettsia rickettsii - Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever 6) Rickettsia prowazekii - epidemic typhus 7) Coxiella burnetii - Q fever 8) Survives outside host & does not require an arthropod for transmission.

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 types of parasites reproduce only in living cells other than viruses?
Parasites that reproduce only in living cells, apart from viruses, include certain types of protozoa, such as Plasmodium species (which cause malaria) and Leishmania species. Additionally, some intracellular bacteria, like Chlamydia and Rickettsia, must replicate within host cells. These organisms rely on the host's cellular machinery for their reproduction and survival, making them obligate intracellular parasites.
Is chlamydia associated with the morphological characteristics of bacteria?
Yes, although it's an obligate intracellular parasite, it has the morphological charactestics of bacteria.
What is a particle that can carry out some but not all of the life proccess?
A virus is a particle that can carry out some life processes, such as reproduction and evolution, but requires a host cell to carry out metabolic processes. Viruses are considered obligate intracellular parasites and cannot replicate on their own.
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.
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 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 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 are characteristics of viruses?
viruses are obligate intracellular entities and are considered to be acellular
What types of parasites reproduce only in living cells other than viruses?
Parasites that reproduce only in living cells, apart from viruses, include certain types of protozoa, such as Plasmodium species (which cause malaria) and Leishmania species. Additionally, some intracellular bacteria, like Chlamydia and Rickettsia, must replicate within host cells. These organisms rely on the host's cellular machinery for their reproduction and survival, making them obligate intracellular parasites.
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.
What type of bacteria is Chlamydia trachomatis?
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.
What is Erlichosis?
Erlichia are obligate intracellular bacteria, carried by ticks, which infect white blood cells.
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! 😃
