Chap 11 Microbio (2)

An organism that harbors a sexually immature stage of a parasite

precess by which a nuclei fuse to produce a diploid cell

A flagellate protozoan such as Giardia

A vector in which the parasite does not complete any part of its life cycle

ciliated, free-swimming first-stage fluke larva that emerges from an egg

In fungi, a mass of long, threadlike structures (hyphae) that branch and intertwine

the study of fungi

A disease caused by a fungus

roundworm

A parasite that must spend some or all of its life cycle in or on a host.

water mold

an organism that lives in or on, and at the expense of, another organism, the host

The study of parasites

any organism capable of causing disease in its host.

an outercovering membrane

A parasite that remains in or on a host once it has invaded the host.

fungilike protist consisting of a multinucleate amoeboid mass, or plasmodium, that moves about slowly and phagocytizes dead matter.

Sexual reproduction in fungi in which haploid gametes unite and their cytoplasm mingles.

one of the segments of a tapeworm, containing the reproductive organs.

a unicellular eukaryotic organism that is a member of the kingdom Protista

Single-celled, microscopic, animal-like protists in the kingdom Protista

A primitive body cavity, typical of nematodes, that lacks the complete lining found in higher animals

a multicellular mass composed of individual cellular slime mold cells that have aggregated.

the development stage of the fluke immediately following the sporocyst stage

an infected organism that makes parasites available for transmission to other hosts.

A worm with a long, cylindrical, unsegmented body and a heavy cuticle

A member of a diverse group of fungi htat produces saclike asci during sexual reproduction

An organism that feeds on dead or decaying organic matter.

head end of a tapeworm, with suckers and sometimes hooks that attach to the intestinal wall

A cross-wall separating two fungal cells

A funguslike protist

laval form of a fluke that develops in the body of its snail or mollusk host

flatworm that lives in the adult stage as a parasite in the small intestine of animals

sexual part of the life cycle of a fungus

A parasite that feeds on and then leaves its host (such as a biting insect)

a shell made of calcium carbonate and common to some protists

the body of a fungus

tentaclelike structure on ciliates for catching prey (for attachment)

vegetative form of a protozoan such as Plasmodium

an organism that transmits a disease-casuing organism from one host to another

oomycota

a funguslike protist that produces flagellated asexual spores (zoospores) and large, motile gametes

bread mold

in bread mold, a thick-walled, resistant, spore-producing structure enclosing a zygote

a parasite that lives within the body of another organism

A multinucleate mass of cytoplasm that forms one of hte stages in the life cycle of the plasmodial slime mold.

multiple fission, in which one cell gives rise to many cells
