RATIONALE: This is the stage of the life cycle at which the parasite is capable of entering and
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g


developing within the host. It is a required part of the life cycle of that parasite.

ANS: C g


RATIONALE: Endoparasites live inside the host. Ectoparasites live on the outside of the host.
g g g g g g g g g g g g g


Facultative parasites can live as well outside the host as inside the host; host infection usually

occurs accidentally. Other accidental parasites may include parasites that usually infect other

animals.
