20 questions
Question 1: The 1909 work by Aragão and Neiva concluded that intraglobular parasites do not exist in lizards.
A. Ano
B. Ne
Explanation: The study materials state that Aragão and Neiva (1909) made 'A contribution to the study of the intraglobular parasites of lizards,' which implies they studied their existence or characteristics, not that they concluded they do not exist. The materials do not provide information about the conclusions of their study beyond its topic.
Question 2: According to the observations by Ashford, Bray, and Foster (1973), in which organisms was Trypanosoma boueti found?
A. The skink Mabuya striata and the sandfly Sergentomyia bedfordi
B. The lizard Leishmania tarentolae and the sandfly Phlebotomus papatasi
C. The snake Ophis merremi and the mosquito Culex pipiens molestus
D. The skink Leiolopisma nigriplantare and the sandfly Sergentomyia bedfordi
Explanation: Ashford, Bray, and Foster (1973) made observations on Trypanosoma boueti in the skink Mabuya striata and the sandfly Sergentomyia bedfordi in Ethiopia.
Question 3: Culex pipiens is definitively known to transmit Hepatozoon matruhensis to the Egyptian snake Psammophis schokari.
A. Ano
B. Ne
Explanation: Study materials indicate "Laboratory studies on the possibility of Culex (Culex) pipiens L. to harbour and transmit Hepatozoon matruhensis to the Egyptian snake Psammophis schokari," which means the possibility was studied, but not that it is definitively known or proven.
Question 4: According to the provided study materials, which organism is known to be infected by Haemogregarina najae?
A. Anolis carolinensis
B. Naja nigricollis
C. Culex pipiens
D. Sceloporus occidentalis
Explanation: The study materials cite 'Bashtar, A. R. and F. A. Abdel-Ghaffar. 1987. Light microscope study of the life cycle of Haemogregarina najae infecting the snake Naja nigricollis (Elapidae, Proteroglypha, Squamata) from Egypt.' This indicates that Haemogregarina najae infects the snake Naja nigricollis.
Question 5: The observations on the haematozoa of vertebrates in Ceylon, published by Castellani and Willey, provided a new classification system for these parasites.
A. Ano
B. Ne
Explanation: The study materials only state that Castellani and Willey (1904) made "Observations on the haematozoa of vertebrates in Ceylon." There is no information provided in the materials about the specific content of these observations, such as the introduction of a new classification system.
