    Review Purpose

    This review helps you check what you learned in Section Six before moving on. Work through each question set on the pages that follow, then use the Click to reveal answer option to check yourself. These questions are for practice and self-assessment—they are not graded.

    Before you begin, can you...
    • Describe the morphological difference between yeasts and molds, and define and differentiate superficial, subcutaneous, systemic mycoses?
    • Differentiate fungal infections, fungal toxicoses, and fungal allergies, and describe how mycoses are acquired?
    • Describe the general characteristics of protozoans and their classification by motility, and differentiate a trophozoite from a cyst?
    • Define vector and compare the biological vectors of important human protozoan pathogens?
    • Differentiate platyhelminths from nematodes, and describe the characteristics of trematodes, cestodes, and nematodes?
    • Define and contrast definitive and intermediate hosts?
    • Identify important fungal protozoan and helminth pathogens by their morphology and epidemiology using microscopy and micrographs?
