In this article we will discuss about the host-parasite relationship and their evolution. Of a few members in the animal kingdom, who can really be proud of themselves as the stumbling block to the mind of Zoologists—the claim and complexity from the standpoint of adaptation of the parasites, is in no way rejectable. To successfully complete its life cycle and [...]

Transmission of Diseases by Vectors | Parasitology

In this article we will discuss about the transmission of disease by vectors. There are three different kinds of transmis­sion for the spread of various diseases: (a) Direct transmission: In this case the transmission of dis­ease is occurred through close contact i.e. trans­ferred from man to man through close contact, e.g., scabies. (b) Mechanical transmission: In this method, the disease-agent [...]
