Disease Vectors and Pathogens

All stages of Plasmodium get digested in stomach of female Anopheles except the gametocyte. 

An oocyst with one sporoblast is released in stool of infected person. After the oocyst has been released, the sporoblast matures further and divides into two.

Malaria is caused by Plasmodium parasites transmitted through the bite of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. Cholera is water-borne, chicken pox is viral (airborne), and plague is bacterial (flea-borne from rodents). Malaria remains a major health concern in tropical regions.

Hoppers transmit viruses from several genera, including those in the families Rhabdoviridae and Reoviridae.

In biological context, a vector is an organism that transmits disease-causing pathogens from one host to another. Insects like mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks are common vectors. The other terms like transmitter, drones, or conductor are not standard scientific terminology for disease transmission.

Wucheraria larvae microfilariae are carried by culex mosquito and causes filaria.

A parasite feeds on a living organism called its host, which provides nutrients and shelter. The parasite benefits from this relationship while often harming the host, though not necessarily killing it immediately.

Roundworm and plasmodium exhibit parasitic nutrition, obtaining nutrients from living host organisms. Roundworms live in the intestines of their hosts, while plasmodium causes malaria by infecting red blood cells.

Filariasis (elephantiasis) is caused by nematode worms Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi, or Brugia timori. Poliomyelitis is viral, leprosy is bacterial (Mycobacterium leprae), and amoebiasis is protozoan (Entamoeba histolytica).

In the life cycle of Plasmodium, the sexual phase (sporogony) occurs within the mosquito, which is considered the exogenous host or definitive host. The asexual phase (schizogony) occurs within the human, the endogenous or intermediate host.

African sleeping sickness is caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Trypanosoma and is transmitted to humans by the bite of the tsetse fly. Sand flies transmit leishmaniasis, and mosquitoes transmit diseases like malaria and dengue. The yellow wasp is not a known vector for this disease.

Malaria is caused by Plasmodium parasites, which are single-celled microorganisms known as protozoa. It is transmitted to humans through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes.

Kala-azar, also known as visceral leishmaniasis, is caused by Leishmania parasites and is transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected female sand fly.

It is the primary host of Taenia solium .It is a parasite in the small intestine

It is present in human intestine and feeds on RBCs, tissue fragments undigested food and bacteria.
