Study Notes
Symbiotic Relationships
- Term for relationship of two organisms living together: Symbiosis
- Type of symbiotic relationship that benefits both: Mutualism
- Organism that benefits without harming or helping the host: Commensalism
- Type of symbiotic relationship where one benefits at the other's expense: Parasitism
Nomenclature in Zoology
- Specific name for nomenclature beginning with a small letter: Subspecies
- Formation of family names according to the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature: Derived from the name of a genus (usually, the genitive case of the genus name)
- Representation of generic names in nomenclature: Always begins with a capital letter
Medical Parasitology
- Medical significance: Focuses on parasites that affect human health
- Term for organisms that take nourishment and needs through contact with another species: Parasite
Taxonomy and Classification
- Taxonomic classification for the genus Leishmania: Belongs to the family Trypanosomatidae
- Subphylum characterized by organisms using pseudopodia for locomotion: Sarcodina
- Phylum characterized by organisms with a complete digestive tract and separate sexes: Nematoda
- Phylum with organisms having an apical complex for penetration: Apicomplexa
- Phylum known for roundworms transmitted via ingestion of infective larvae from fish: Nematoda
- Family to which Leishmania belongs: Trypanosomatidae
Locomotion and Entry Portals
- Main locomotory apparatus for Mastigophora: Flagella
- Main locomotory apparatus for Sarcodina: Pseudopodia
- How tapeworms (Cestodes) enter the human body: Usually through the ingestion of undercooked infected meat
- Main portal of entry for organisms in the phylum Cestodes: The gastrointestinal tract
- Cestodes' characteristics regarding human entry: Often unable to reproduce within human hosts but can live inside
Additional Details
- Symbiont in parasitology: Refers to an organism living in symbiosis with another, may be beneficial, neutral, or harmful.
- Concern of Medical Parasitology: Understanding the life cycle, pathology, and control of medically significant parasites.
