II. Endoparasites :
parasites that live inside the body of their host,
e.g. Entamoeba histolytica.

I.Ectoparasite :
a parasitic organism that lives on the outer surface
of its host, e.g. lice, ticks, mites etc.

3. Reservoir host:
A wild or domestic animal which harbors a
parasite and acts as source of infection to humans.
The parasite causes no or only mild disease on
this host.
6.Carrier host:
A host harboring & disseminating a parasite but
exhibiting no clinical sign.

due to perfect host-parasite r/ship (tissue destruction
balanced with the hosts tissue repair).
The parasite & the host live harmoniously (at equilibrium).
B. Disease State:
due to an imperfect host-parasite r/ship (z parasite
dominates z upper hand).
Results from: 1.lower resistance of the host or

EFFECT OF THE HOST ON THE PARASITE
The host can produce certain degree resistance to parasites in
human body or re-infection.
However, the resistance (immunity) is not very strong.

Innate immunity
A.Physical barrier: Prevent parasites to invade in certain
degree.
e.g. Skin/Mucous membrance/Placenta: protect the parasites
from entry.
B. Acid in skin or stomach: can cause damage to the invading
parasites.
C. Phagocytosis: phagocytes in human body can engulf
(encapsulate) parasites & digest (kill) using their lysosomal
enzymes.
Acquired immunity: Limits infection by using two arms: cellular

& humoral immunity.
