Question 60 Match the parasite to the description Kinetoplastid parasite causes the "sleeping sickness" transferred by vector "Tse-Tse" fly: [Choose ] An Apicomplexan parasite responsible for Malaria, one of the deadliest infectious diseases that results in close to a million deaths yearly in the tropics. The parasite is transferred between humans by an insect host/vector, the Anopheles mosquito. Trichomonas Diplomonad parasite that causes diarrhea. Infection is caused by drinking contaminated water. Trypanosoma Giardia A sexually transmitted parasite that uses its flagella and undulating membrane to travel along the mucus lining of the reproductive and urinary tracts. Secondary bacterial infection results from the lesions the parasite causes when feeding on the epithelial cells. Euglena An intestinal parasite that causes dysentery, intestinal infection with bloody stool and diarrhea. Entamoeba An intestinal parasitic flatworm that grows from its neck and sheds mature gravid proglottids.
