One of the most characteristic symptoms of malaria is the alternation of attacks (involving a cold phase, a hot phase, and a sweating phase) with periods of 1 or 2 days of no or few fevers.  Given the life cycle of Plasmodium what is the best explanation for this pattern: When free in the blood, merozoites release chemicals that directly cause body responses. Merozoites appear in coordinated “waves”, which explains the cycling attacks Merozoites entering the red blood cells generate a strong response from the red blood cells, which stimulates a massive immune response Attack phase correlates with simultaneous bursting of infected red blood cells, releasing thousands or millions of merozoites. This triggers massive immune response, resulting in symptoms Plasmodium generates a constant accumulation of irritants in the blood, mostly residues from digesting hemoglobin . Once the amount reaches a critical level, these trigger a massive immune response
Water-related activities such as swimming underwater, diving. or other water sports can result in water going up the nose. Promitosis Amebae penetrate the nasal mucosa Trophozoite Flagellated form Amebae migrate to the brain via the olfactory nerves causing primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) in healthy individuals Vector borne parasite Facultative parasite Obligate parasite Ectoparasite Trophozoites in CSF and brain tissue Flagellated forms occasionally in CSF Cyst A=Infective Stage Diagnostic Stage CDC SAFER-HEALTHIER PEOPLE" Observe this life cycle for Naegleria fowleri, an amoebic protozoan also called "the brain eating amoeba". N. fowleri usually completes its entire life cycle by eating bacteria (e.g., in pond water). What is an appropriate term for its relationship with humans?
Label the stages of the Trypanosoma cruzi life cycle as well as the form of the parasite in each stage. Drag the appropriate labels to their respective targets..
