What would humans and mosquitoes and plasmodium together be considered?
Humans, mosquitoes, and Plasmodium together would be considered a host-pathogen-vector system for malaria transmission. Mosquitoes act as vectors by transmitting the Plasmodium parasite from one host (humans) to another through their bites. Plasmodium is the causative agent of malaria, a disease that affects humans.
Is plasmodium vivax a sporozoan?
Plasmodium vivax, the protist that causes Malaria, is a sprozoan, which is a type of protist that doesn't move on its own, is parasitic by penetrating then living inside of its host, and it can have more than one host at a time.
What is the second stage of Plasmodium called?
The second stage of Plasmodium is called the sporozoite stage. Sporozoites are the form of the parasite that are injected into the human host when an infected mosquito bites.
Name the mode of nutrition in round worm and plasmodium?
Round worms are heterotrophic, obtaining their nutrition by feeding on organic matter in their environment. Plasmodium is a parasitic protist that obtains its nutrition by feeding on the blood of its host organism.
Where does a plasmodium parasite live?
A Plasmodium parasite primarily lives in the red blood cells of its host, usually a human. It undergoes stages of development both within the human and the female Anopheles mosquito.
