question 15 of 21
how are parasites transmitted?
select all that apply.
catheterization
inoculation by arthropod
inhalation of contaminated dust
ingestion during infective stage
prolonged exposure to a moist environment
direct penetration of the skin by infected larvae

Explanation:

Parasites can be transmitted through vectors like arthropods (e.g., mosquitoes), by inhaling contaminated dust with parasite - containing particles, by ingesting food or water during the infective stage of the parasite, and when infected larvae directly penetrate the skin. Catheterization is mainly related to hospital - acquired infections from non - parasitic sources in most cases, and prolonged exposure to a moist environment is not a typical direct mode of parasite transmission.

Answer:

B. Inoculation by arthropod
C. Inhalation of contaminated dust
D. Ingestion during infective stage
F. Direct penetration of the skin by infected larvae
