Question:

Intermediate host is absent in the infection of Trypanosoma, Plasmodium, Entamoeba, or Filarial worm?

Plasmodium

Trypanosoma

Entamoeba

Filarial worm

Solution:

Entamoeba histolytica is a monogenetic parasite, i.e., living in a single host, in the large intestine of humans. It causes amoebiasis or amoebic dysentery. Thus, intermediate host is absent.
