1. In A General Nematode Parasite’s Life Cycle, The Host May Ingest A Fertile Egg.
This Stage Of The Life Cycle Is Referred To As The:
A. Definitive Host Phase
B. Diagnostic Stage
C. Infective Stage
D. Method Of Infection
ANS: C
RATIONALE: This Is The Stage Of The Life Cycle At Which The Parasite Is Capable
Of Entering And Developing Within The Host. It Is A Required Part Of The Life Cycle
Of That Parasite.
KEY: Introduction: Parasite Definitions/Life Cycles | Cognitive Level: Recall
2. A Parasite That Lives Inside A Host Is Referred To As A(N):
A. Accidental Parasite
B. Ectoparasite
C. Endoparasite
D. Facultative Parasite
,ANS: C
RATIONALE: Endoparasites Live Inside The Host. Ectoparasites Live On The Outside
Of The Host. 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.
KEY: Introduction: Parasite Definitions/Life Cycles | Cognitive Level: Recall
3. Zoonosis Is A Term Used To Describe Humans’ Relationship With A(N):
A. Accidental Parasite
B. Ectoparasite
C. Endoparasite
D. Facultative Parasite
ANS: A
RATIONALE: Zoonosis Is An Accidental Infection With A Parasite That Usually
Parasitizes Animals. Endoparasites Live Inside The Host. Ectoparasites Live Outside The
Host. Facultative Parasites Can Live As Well Outside The Host As Inside The Host; Host
Infection Usually Occurs Accidentally.
KEY: Introduction: Parasite Definitions/Life Cycles | Cognitive Level: Recall
, 4. An Animal That Harbors A Parasite That Can Also Infect Humans Is Referred To As
A(N):
A. Definitive Host
B. Intermediate Host
C. Reservoir Host
D. Transport Host
ANS: C
RATIONALE: Reservoir Hosts Harbor Parasites That Are Also Infective For Humans.
Infections Occur When Humans Encounter Infected Animals Or Infective Forms Related
To That Parasite’s Life Cycle.
KEY: Introduction: Parasite-Host Relationships | Cognitive Level: Recall
5. The Host In Which The Parasite Reaches Sexual Or Reproductive Maturity Is Referred
To As A(N):
