Study Notes
Protozoal Diseases
- Amoebiasis and giardiasis are associated with intestinal and extra-intestinal involvement.
Modes of Infection Transmission
- Trichomoniasis is transmitted through sexual transmission.
- Insect vectors transmit Plasmodium parasites.
- Giardia lamblia parasites are transmitted through ingestion of contaminated water.
- Enterobius vermicularis can be transmitted through sexual intercourse.
Parasitic Infections
- Falciparum is a type of Malignant Tertian malaria.
- Clonorchis sinensis is a parasite that can cause cancer of the liver.
- Diphtheroid parasites can be transmitted through inhalation.
Ecological Relationships
- Commensalism is a type of ecological relationship where one organism benefits, while the other is unaffected, e.g., remora fish attaching to sharks.
Epidemiology
- Incubation period refers to the time between exposure to an infectious agent and the appearance of symptoms.
- Direct contact and indirect contact are two modes of transmission of infectious agents.
