1. Incidental parasite: Unusual host. 21. Sporozoite; 29. Fasciola hepatica; 30. Lung fluke; 31. Taenia solium.

1. Incidental parasite: A parasite in a host where it's not normally found. 2. Amoebiasis: An intestinal illness by Entamoeba histolytica. 3. Parasitism: A relationship where one organism benefits at the expense of another. 4. Intermediate host: Hosts the parasite during its larval or asexual stage. 5. Encystation: Formation of a cyst by some parasites for protection. 6. Cercaria larva: A free-swimming larval stage of certain flukes. 7. Ascaris lumbricoides: A large roundworm infecting the intestine. 8. Balantidium coli: A ciliate protozoan causing balantidiasis. 9. Definitive host: The host in which a parasite reaches maturity. 10. Amastigotes are the intracellular form in tissues with no flagella, while promastigotes are flagellated forms found in the sandfly vector. 11. Extra intestinal amoebiasis occurs when the parasite spreads to other organs like the liver. 12. Nits of Pediculus species are oval, white, and attached to hair shafts. 13. Asexual stage: Sporozoites enter human, develop into schizonts, release merozoites. 14. Sexual stage: Merozoites form gametocytes, taken by mosquito, develop in the gut. 15. Fasciola hepatica: A liver fluke that infects the liver of various mammals. 16. The life cycle of Ascaris lumbricoides involves ingestion, intestinal maturation, lung migration, maturation in intestines. 17. Pre-erythrocytic cycle: Sporozoites infect liver cells, develop into schizonts, release merozoites. 18. Trematodes: Flukes with flat, leaf-shaped bodies and suckers for attachment. 19. Helminths are classified into cestodes, trematodes, and nematodes. Entamoeba histolytica life cycle includes cysts, trophozoites, and colonization. 20. Hard ticks have a hard shield, while soft ticks lack it and have a leathery appearance. 21. D) Sporozoite; 29. D) Fasciola hepatica; 30. D) Lung fluke; 31. D) Taenia solium.
