Study Notes
Immunity in Protozoosis
- Animals infected with protozoa develop nonsterile immunity, also known as premunition.
- Premunition is a type of immunity where the parasite remains in the host, but the host does not experience symptoms.
Role of Sick Animals in Protozoology
- Sick animals or parasitic carriers act as reservoir hosts.
- Reservoir hosts are animals that harbor a parasite and can transmit it to other animals, even if they don't show symptoms.
