Parasitology final multiple
choice with 100% correct
answers 2024
What is the relationship between a host and a parasite? - answer -
host is the environment, providing metabolic needs and habitat for
the parasite


Definitive host - answer primary host, final host


host in which parasite spends sexual stage of its life cycle, ether in
or on


Intermediate host - answer host in which parasite goes through
larval and developmental stages, parasite may reproduce asexually


Prevalence - answer Number of cases at a given time


Incidence - answer number of new cases over a unit of time


aggregated population - answer a minority of the host population
has the majority of parasites


Premunition - answer Host recovers, parasites remain in small
numbers and host now immune to rechallenge


Concomitant immunity - answer Host elicits and immune response
that prevents another infection, immune response is ineffective in
getting rid of the initial infection

,Blood/tissue flagelates - answer -trypanisomes, have kinetoplasts


-Kinetoplasts go through RNA editing


-Amastigotes, intracellular


-trypomastigote extracellular (no cyst)


-heteroxenous (multi host life cycle; indirect)


Mucosoflagellatess - answer -giardia + trichomonas


-Cyst form; trasmission state


-trophozoite; active, motile, growing stage form


Binary fission (protozoa) - answer -ciliates and flagelletes asexual
phase


Multiple fission (protozoa) - answer -Common among apicomplexa


-Merogony: nucleus divides prior to cytokinesis and arranges around
periphery of mother cells


Sexual reproduction in apicomplexa - answer -gametogony


-gamonts make gametes, fusing in syngamy

,African trypanosome (T. brucei) stages - answer 1. Slender trypo:
replicating blood stream form in mammal


2. stumpy trypo: non replicating blood stream form in mammal


3. procyclic trypomastigote: replicating extracellular form in insect
gut and goes to salivary gland


4. epimastigote: replicating extracellular form in insect salivary
gland


5. metacyclic trypomastigote: non replicating infective stage in
insect


-african sleeping sickness; lives extracellularly. Spread by tse tse


-vsg protein editing


American trypanosome (T. cruzi) stages - answer 1. Amastigotes:
intracellular replicating form in vertebrate


2. trypomastigote: non replicating bloodstream form in vertebrate


3. epimastigote: replicating extracellular form in the insect midgut
that becomes an infective metacyclic trypomastigote


4. metacyclic trypomastigote: non replicating infective stage in
hindgut of insect


-chagas disease; acute or chronic (acute shows mild symptoms or
inflammation at site of infection)

, -stercorian transmission via reduviid


Leishmania - answer 1. intracellular amastigotes: replicating form in
many tissues of vertebrate


2. promastigote: extracellular replicating stage


3. metacyclic promastigote: non replicating infective stage in
esophagus of insect


Acute chagas - answer -trypoymastigotes found in blood


-chagoma; swelling of regional lymph nodes


Chronic chagas - answer -heart issues


-no trypomastigotes in blood


Leishmania pathogenesis - answer -visceral: fatal sometimes,
enlargement of liver. Canines


-cutaneous: sores form. Rodents


-mucocutaneous: low parasite numbers with uncontrolled
inflammation in nose/mouth


-diffuse cutaenous: high parasite numbers and tolerogenic immune
response
