Explanation / Answer
Causes ascariasis in human beings.
The eggs are excreted through feaces.
These are endoparasites
PARASITE PRIMARY RESERVIOR HOST DISEASE CAUSING HABITAT OTHER IMPORTANT CHARACTERSTIC REPRODUCTION IN HOST Anopheles gambiae Female mosquito Human plasmodium high tempreature and humidity Major cause of malaria disease in human beings. Asexual Ascaris lumbricoides Soil Human Ascaris Moist,warm,shaded soilCauses ascariasis in human beings.
Sexual Cimex lectularis Warm house,bed Human Cimex lectularius Hematophagous(feeds on blood) it is dependent on human blood for development. Reproduce outside host. Dermacentor variabilis Soil Dogs and other animals Francisella tularensis,Rickettsia rickettsii,Borellia burgdoferi Woody,shrubby and long grasses These are vector for many diseases causing members. Reproduce outside host. Dranuculus Medinensis Copepoids Human Larvae fresh water Endoparasites Sexual Ixodes scapularis Deer Deer and other mammals Borellia burgdorferi feeds on mammals vector for borellia They feed on host externally. Nector americanus Soil Human Nector amwricanus moist,warm and shaded environment They are endoparasites. Sexual Schistosoma mansoni Snails Human s.mansoni water They are endoparasites Sexual Taenia solium Pork Human Taenia solium soil,faecesThe eggs are excreted through feaces.
These are endoparasites
They develop in human body. Dermatobia hominis Mosquito Human and other primates They do not cause disease. Develop in subcutaneous layer Endoparasites they develop in subcutaneous layer.Related Questions
