Study Notes
Infectious Diseases
- Protozoa, Platyhelminthes, Nematodes, and arthropods can cause infectious diseases in humans.
Characteristics of Protozoa
- The infective stage of Protozoa is characterized by being highly resistant to environmental stress and able to survive outside a host.
Science of Arthropods
- Medical entomology is the science that deals with arthropods of medical importance.
Common Features of Parasites
- The common feature of Platyhelminthes, Nematodes, and Protozoa is that they are all parasites.
Classification of Parasites
- Trematodes and Cestodes are types of Platyhelminthes.
- Trematodes and Cestodes are also known as flatworms.
- Protozoa are a type of single-celled organism.
Life Cycle of Protozoa
- The cyst stage in the life cycle of Protozoa is characterized by non-feeding, non-motility, and non-reproduction.
- The vegetative stage of Protozoa is distinguished from the infective stage by its ability to feed, move, and reproduce.
