Effects of Parasitic Life on Parasites and Host

In this article we will discuss about the effects of parasitic life on parasites and host. Effects of Parasitic Life on Parasites: In early parasitism there are no morphological changes in the parasite though physiological adaptations take place, later the following changes occur: (a) There is a reduction in the organelles of locomotion's, since the parasites are transported by the [...]

Nutrition and Protozoa (With Diagram)

The following points highlight the seven important modes of nutrition in Protozoa. The modes are: 1. Holozoic or Zoo-Trophic Nutrition 2. Pinocytosis 3. Autotrophic or Holophytic Nutrition 4. Saprozoic Nutrition 5. Parasitic Nutrition 6. Coprozoic Nutrition 7. Mixotrophic Nutrition. Nutrition: Mode # 1. Holozoic or Zoo-Trophic Nutrition: Majority of Protozoa nutrite holozoically, i.e., like animals on solid food. The food [...]
