Is it more beneficial for Neodermata to have one host or two hosts?
Neodermatahas two classes: class Trematoda and class Monogenea. Class Trematoda has the subclass Digenea, which has organisms that live through at least two different hosts. An example of this is Fasciola hepatica, the sheep's liver fluke. Class Monogenea has organisms that only need to live through one host.
Is it better to have a simple or complex life cycle? Which lives longer? Has more energy? Does more damage or good?
Although they are not photosynthetic, apicomplexan parasites such as Plasmodium have modified plastids. Describe a current hypothesis that explains this observation
Even though genetically engineered mosquitoes might be developed that do not allow the reproduction of malaria protozoa, these mosquitoes would have little, if any, immediate effect on the spread of the disease. Why should this be so? What would have to happen for these mosquitoes to significantly affect the spread of malaria?
