answer the questions below. This homework serves as a study guide for Exam 3. 1. What is a
parasite? 2. Where are 2 locations in the human body that parasitic worms may have the primary

3. What are some common chronic (i.e. long term) effects of a helminth infection (see min 53 )? 4.
Helminthic infections are disease of and 5. Why are intestinal parasites common in high poverty
areas? 6. Why is it difficult to make a vaccine against helminths? 7. What is the hygiene
hypothesis? 8. What are common ways that humans contract helminth infections? 9. How are
parasitic infections treated (give an example of a deworming treatment)? 10. What does the
phrase "When you hear footsteps think horses not zebras - unless you're surrounded by zebras"
mean? 11. How are helminth infections diagnosed? 12. What is Ground Itch? 13. What causes
Loeffler's Syndrome? What does it mimic in the western world? Name another example of a sign
of helminth infection that mimics a different disease in the western world?13. What causes
