Parasitology

Parasites can recognize their hosts through various cues such as chemical signals, temperature, and specific surface proteins. These cues help the parasite to identify their host environment and navigate to the appropriate site for infection and survival. Additionally, parasites may have evolved to specifically detect and exploit host-specific factors that are crucial for their lifecycle.

Yes, parasites can be treated and often cured with medication prescribed by a healthcare provider. It is important to follow the prescribed treatment regimen and take all medications as directed to effectively eliminate the parasite from the body.

you or any other animal because most parasites feed on human/animal waste (dead skin) or blood, some of these parasites cause deadly deases like malaria or HIV

People Infected with malaria carry sporozoans which are parasites. The sporozoans trvel to the liver where another form is made called merozoites. From there the new forms travel through the blood stream and therefore infect the red blood cells.

Other common parasites in animals include ticks, fleas, mites, lice, and heartworms. These parasites can cause various health issues and discomfort for their host animals. It's important to prevent and treat parasite infestations in pets to keep them healthy.

Malaria, caused by the Plasmodium parasite, is one of the major parasitic diseases affecting humans worldwide. It is transmitted through the bites of infected mosquitoes and can lead to serious illness and even death if not treated promptly.

Parasites produce large amounts of eggs to increase the chances of finding a suitable host for their offspring to develop and survive. By releasing a vast number of eggs, parasites increase the likelihood that some will successfully infect a new host and continue their life cycle.

Clams are not parasites. Clams are a type of bivalve mollusk that feed by filtering particles from water using their gills. They are not known to rely on other organisms for sustenance like parasites do.

Borrelia burgdorferi invades the blood and tissues of various infected mammals and birds. The natural reservoir for Borrelia burgdorferi is thought to be the white-footed mouse. Ticks transfer the spirochetes to the white-tailed deer, humans, and other warm-blooded animals after a blood meal on an infected animal. In humans, dogs, and many other animals, infection with Borrelia burgdorferi results in the pathology of Lyme disease.

No, parasites do not cause rabies. Rabies is a viral disease that is transmitted through the saliva of infected animals, typically through a bite or scratch. Parasites are organisms that feed off another organism, but they are not responsible for causing rabies.

Woodlice do not have teeth. They have specialized mouthparts that help them break down decaying vegetation for food. Instead of teeth, they use these mouthparts to scrape and chew their food.

Fleas and ticks can be brought into homes by pets. Bedbugs can be found in some hotels and homes. Head lice generally happen when an infected person share combs or clothing with another. Some areas blood leeches can be brought in by people that walk barefoot. Mosquitos can sneak into the house when doors open. Mites live on people. And some people get tapeworm.

Yes, parasites can drive evolutionary changes in their host species through factors such as natural selection and coevolution. Parasites may exert selective pressure on their hosts, leading to the evolution of traits that reduce the parasite's impact. Over time, this can shape the genetic diversity and adaptations of the host population.

The scientific name of caraboa's lice is ieh qaoh. A caraboa is a swamp type domestic water buffalo. They are found in southeast Asia, the Philippines and Guam.

The most common parasite found in humans is Ascaris lumbricoides (the giant intestinal round worm) infecting more than 2 billion people at any given time. Pinworm (Enterobius vermicularis)infections are very common, as well as the ecto-parasite Pediculosis capitus. Malaria is another common parasite of the blood that causes the most deaths globally (~660,000) per year with most being in Africa.

Female Anopheles mosquitoes are the primary insects that carry and transmit the malaria parasite. When an infected mosquito bites a human, it can pass the parasite through its saliva into the person's bloodstream, leading to malaria infection.

A hectoparasite is a type of parasite that lives on the surface of its host organism, such as fleas, lice, or ticks. These parasites feed on the blood or skin of the host and can cause discomfort, irritation, and sometimes transmit diseases.

Parasites do not have tonicity themselves, as tonicity refers to the osmotic pressure of a solution. However, parasites can be affected by the tonicity of their external environment. Parasites may have adaptations to survive in different tonicity environments to maintain their osmotic balance.

Some examples of parasites found in ponds include parasitic worms such as flukes and nematodes, as well as protozoa like Cryptosporidium and Giardia. Mosquito larvae can also be considered parasites if they rely on a host for nutrients during their larval stage.

Pathogenic parasites are organisms that live inside a host and cause harm by feeding on its tissues, leading to diseases or other health problems. These parasites can include protozoa, helminths, and ectoparasites like ticks and lice. Examples of pathogenic parasites include malaria, tapeworms, and hookworms.

They are small outprojections of the cuticle of the nematode in the cervical ('neck') region. They look like small spines, nematodes with cervical papillae include Ostertagia species and Haemonchus contortus.

Some parasites are prokaryotic (bacteria), and some are eukaryotic (helminths, protozoans...)

If you are referring to The 3rd Birthday then it came out 3/31/2011, but it is not Parasite Eve 3. Square Enix last said that if there will be lots of success from The 3rd Birthday then they might consider bringing the game to the home console (PS3). From what I know, The 3rd Birthday was amazing. Its also a spin-off meaning that Parasite Eve 3 does not continue from the ending of The 3rd Birthday, so if you know the ending of The 3rd Birthday don't be upset about what will happen in Parasite Eve 3 since absolutely nothing that happened in The 3rd Birthday will be in the timeline of the original Parasite Eve series. I have recently got into the series myself and am glad about The #rd Birthday not affecting Parasite Eve 3.

No. They are mutualistic. The Cleaner Wrasse eats bacteria from the Grouper, while the Grouper provides the food source.

The Grouper arrives at the cleaner wrasse and the wrasse will clean the groupers mouth. They both benefit because the wrasse eats the bacteria as food and the grouper's mouth isn't packed up with bacteria anymore. Mutualism is when both creatures benefit. The Grouper may visit cleaner wrasse's more then once a day.
