Two parasites are found in a population of primates. Parasite 1 is an ectoparasite that can survive for up to 2 weeks off of the host. Parasite 2 is an endoparasite that can survive for 1 day outside of the host, but only in ideal conditions. How would the patterns and mode of spread differ between the two parasite species? What kinds of social behaviors (of the host) would make these parasites more or less successful?

Answer #1

Ectoparasite is mostly arthropod organisms where as endoparasite which live inside the body in blood and intestinal or other region and they belong to protozoan or helminthes group of organism. Both are having different survival and proliferation rate, endoparasite multiply more rapidly as compared to Ectoparasites. Ectoparasites normally spread through dust particle or physical interaction like tactile communication where as endoparasite transmit through features, contaminated water or through mosquito or other insect bite.

Primate exhibits great social behaviour and by this behavior (altruism), they remove Ectoparasite (lice, an arthropod ectoparasite) of one animal and vice versa. Therefore, Ectoparasite would be less successful as compared to endoparasites.

    Scenario 3 (Mental Health) The efficacy of two kinds of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) in relation to a clinical population were compared. The therapies differed on the dimension of how wedded they were to the rational-emotive behavioral therapy (REBT), a subtype of CBT that emphasizes a directive, confrontational approach to encourage a patient to recognize the irrationality of specific thought patterns. Forty adolescents at an inpatient clinic for treatment of self-destructive behaviors were randomly divided into two groups of equal size,...

    Which statements are incorrect? (Underlined words indicate new statements) 131 than polygynous trios) is that abundant food reduced the cost of making eggs. A second explanation is that female acorn woodpeckers are more conflicted when in a polygynous trio because females control their own egg laying. As a result, the females in a polygynous trio produce more eggs than the optimal clutch size. The behavior of acorn woodpeckers results in the game theory model of the Prisoner's Dilemma. The Hamlet...

In that population a mutation results in a parasite resistant genotype that spreads through the population through natural selection. A subsequent mutation in the parasite results in a genotype that is unaffected by the newly evolved resistant guppy genotype.
