Basic principles of parasitiology and biology of helminths - hosts
4 important questions on Basic principles of parasitiology and biology of helminths - hosts
What are the benefits of multiple intermediate hosts?
- Survival
- transmission
- reproduction
Properties of a specialist:
- highly adapted to one or few host species
- highly efficient at exploiting one or few hosts
- lower changes of transmission to host
Properties of generalists/allrounder:
- moderately adapted to many different host species (cost)
- moderately effective at exploiting many different hosts (cost)
- high chances of transmission to hosts (benefit)
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
What are reproductive adaptations for transmission success?
- Asexual reproduction
- budding
- schizogony or multiple fission
- binary fission
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
