| Parasite | An organism theat lives on or within anoher living organism | |
| Endoparasite | Parasite that lives inside of host | Intestines, Blood, Lungs, Liver, Bladder, etc. |
| Ectoparasite | Parasite that lives on he outside of host | Skin, Fur/hair, ears |
| Definitive host | Host in which adult parasite lives and reproduces | |
| Intermediate Host | Host in which the larval stage ofparasite lives | |
| Life Cycle | Describes the different life stges of the parasite | Direct life cycle, Indirect life cycle |
| Parasite Survival Requires | a susceptible host; A way in; An accommodating environment; A way out | |
| Pathogenesis | How the Parasite cases illness/disease | |
| Problems Caused by Parasites | Causing trauma; Stealing nutrients; Producing toxins or causng a release of toxins; Serving as a vector for other pathogens | |
| Diagnostic Techniques | Methods used to diagnose paraasites | Direct smear; Simple flotation; Centrifugal fotation; Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA); Modified Knotts; Sedimentation; Skin scraping |
