Explain mode of transmission for Guinea Worm Disease (Dracunculus medinensis). Go into some detail about the IH, the copepod. In some parts of Africa, guinea worm occurs in some pretty dry areas which raises the question of why we still see high transmission rates when there is so little water.
Which one of these is NOT an example of a parasite?
Select one:
a. A bromeliad plant growing on the trunk of a rainforest tree that derives its moisture and nutrients from the air, rain and debris accumulating around the plant.
b. A leech feeding on blood it extracts from the leg of a human host.
c. A Rafflesia plant using a specialised absorptive organ, known as a haustorium, to draw nutrients from other plants.
d. A tapeworm that lives inside the intestine of an animal and feeds off the food that the animal is digesting.
Which one of the following BEST describes the consequences of an altruistic interaction between the donor and the recipient of the behaviour?
Select one:
a. Positive for the donor, positive for the recipient.
b. Negative for the donor, positive for the recipient.
c. Positive for the donor, negative for the recipient.
d. Negative for the donor, negative for the recipient.
