flukes, platyhelminthes, ALL parasitic
Term
Digenea
Definition
subclass of trematoda, complex life cycle, intermediate host usually mollusc, end up in vertebrate
Term
Monogenea

Term
Why think about marine parasites?
Definition
Missing link in food webs, disease, indentifying source population for fish, indicators of habitat quality
Term
Research I
Definition
Damsel fish pass up spawning time for cleaning time when they can, are not protecting home
Term
Research II
Definition
Some cleaners don't really clean, some monogeneans prefer specific species
Term
Research III
Definition
Lionfish in Atlantic are spared from some parasites, making the habitat very cozy for them
Term
Delayed vs. Immediate hypersensitivity
Definition
Delayed: TH1 cells, cytokines, inflammation

Immediate: TH2 and IgE regulated, recruits eosinophils
Term
Immunodiagnosis
Definition
IHA- blood cells w/ antigen mixed w/ serum, aglut means Ab present
ELISA- Antigen adsorption, test serum, anti Ig added, enzymatic substrate produces color

Accomodation and tolerance
Definition
Ig cleaving protease, prostaglandin E2 (anti inflammatory), antigen variance
Term
Anchor worms
Definition
parasitic copepods, family = Lernaeidae, attach to gills
