- Dracunculus medinensis is a human-infecting nematode on the verge of extinction. What factors can prevent its extinction? Why it would be desirable to figure out how to preserve this species?Can you think of any factors that might prevent its extinction the extinction of Dracunculus medinensis, a human-infecting nematode ?Why are parasitic infections of nematodes still common despite our understanding of their biology? Explain if these infections are due to the adaptations of these parasitic helminths or our lapses in their control and eradication.
- If you are a community health worker, what would be your plans to combat parasitic nematodes?do any nematodes have similar adaptations due to their needs being met by their hosts? I know that nematodes are parasitic and not mutually beneficial, but they are still symbionts and perhaps have evolved to no longer require some components of basic anatomy in result of their needs being met by their host. please cite sourcesHow do humans get infected with parasitic nematodes? Discuss two routes of transmission in humans.
- Each of the following statements concerning Ascaris lumbricoides is correct* Ascaris lumbricoides can cause pneumonia Ascaris lumbricoides is one of the largest nematode A. lumbricoides is transmitted by ingestion of eggs Both dogs and cats are intermediate hosts of Ascaris lumbricoidesPlease answer fast Describe the molting pattern of nematodes. Which stage is usually infective to the definitive host? What is a major morphological difference between Hymenolepis diminuta and Hymenolepis nana? Discuss a major difference between the life cycles of the two. What are the three many body divisions of a typical tapeworm? Describe each division.Give three reasons why tilapia does not stay in the sea
- What are liver flukes a danger to human welfare? What about tapeworms? Why are tapeworms a problem with domestic animals?If you had minimal resources to survive a disease related quarantine, as we’re currently experiencing, which class of invertebrates would be more beneficial and why? This can be demonstrated in any form.Platyhelmenthes (flat worms) These creatures have unique regeneration properties. What does that mean? We looked at a few parasitic examples of this group. Be able to identify the life cycle of one or more of these individuals. What is a primary host? A secondary host? Distinguish between turbellaria, trematode and cestoda
