Why is it important for ectoparasites to stay undetected by their host?

melomori [17]

Ectoparasites cause diseases in humans and animals, so to know the format of detecting it we need to know that ......

<h3>Ectoparasite</h3><h3 />

Parasitism is defined as an interaction where a parasitic organism obtains resources through one or several host individuals, causing damage and reducing its fitness. The endoparasite is a type of parasite that lives inside the host's body (from the Greek endos, inside), while the ectoparasite is one that lives on the external surface of its host (from the Greek ectos, outside). Thus, the ectoparasite does not need to lodge inside the host organism to feed, presenting a partial metabolic dependence. Some examples of ectoparasites are:

Lice
Ticks
and Fleas.

<h3>Strategies of ectoparasites</h3>

Each parasite has particular strategies and adaptations used to extract nutrients from their hosts. In ectoparasites these adaptations can often be seen as changes in the oral apparatus, allowing them to penetrate the skin surface and feed on the host's nutrients. Scabies is a skin disease caused by the ectoparasite Sarcoptes scabiei. In order to obtain nutrients for its survival, the parasitic organism burrows into the skin of the host, unlike ectoparasites such as the louse, which pierce the surface and only insert its mouthparts to extract food.

With this information we can say that the ectoparasites adapt to the host so that it is not noticed and for a better absorption of nutrients from the host, they remain undetectable not to be removed, so that they are not disconnected from their food source as they are in the vast majority visible to the eye.

5. Name 3 things bacteria are "notorious" for?

masha68 [24]

Answer:

While pathogenic bacteria are notorious for such diseases as cholera, tuberculosis, and gonorrhea, such disease-causing species are a comparatively tiny fraction of the bacteria as a whole. Bacteria are so widespread that it is possible only to make the most general statements about their life history and ecology.

"A blood bank for a local hospital has a supply of plasma for which some have been contaminated with a virus causing hepatitis.

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

The probability that the victim not getting hepatitis virus is 0.4547

Explanation:

We have given that 7 of 48 units of blood is contaminated with virus causing hepatitis.

So probability of getting hepatitis virus is $=\frac{7}{48}=0.1458$

So probability of not getting hepatitis virus = 1 - 0.1458 = 0.8542

It is given that severely injured accident victim given 5 units of plasma

So probability that the victim not getting hepatitis virus = $0.8542^5=0.4547$

So the probability that the victim not getting hepatitis virus is 0.4547
