04 + 05. Trich Flashcards
examples of trichostrongyles
haemonchus
ostertagia
trichostrongylus
Dictyocaulus viviparus
major features of trichostrongyles
small-hair like
large copulatory bursa
small bucaal capsule
strongyle-type eggs
live in stomach and small intestine
trichuris
nematodirus- very large strongyle-type egg
how many adults per egg of trichostrongyles
one adult
haemonchus
ostertagia
trichostrongylus
Dictyocaulus viviparus
periparturient rise
larvea will hatch at same time as host having new baby- allows it to infect naive host
anti-worm drug also called
anti-helminthic
how can haemonchus produce 10,000 eggs per day
feeds on blood
Trichostrongyle: haemonchus, ostertagia, trichostrongylus + Dictyocaulus viviparus
the increase in number of nematode eggs produced by ewes in the period 4 to 8 weeks after parturition.
periparturient rise
a temporary halt in the parasitic phase of development at a specific point in the nematode life cycle.
arrested development
waits until environment is favorable to continue
three things that cause arrested development
seasonal influences
host immune response
competition
what does synchronous development of larvae mean?
arrested worms all come out at the same time leading to serious disease
dictyocaulus viviparus lifecycle
no eggs!
lung worm
adult produce live L1, in poop- pilobolus fungi launch L3 to new areas
eaten by host- migrate to lungs-coughed and swallowed back into gut and make babies
Trichostrongyle: haemonchus, ostertagia, trichostrongylus + Dictyocaulus
symptoms of Dictyocaulus viviparus
cough, tachypnea, dyspnea, wasting
lung worm, no eggs, pilobolus fungus
Dictyocaulus viviparus larvae in lung with inflammatory cells (eosinophils)
lungworm- no eggs, pilobolus fungi
what is the basic lifecycle of most trichostrongyle worms?
Dictyocaulus viviparus- exception- no eggs, lung worm- pilobolus fungi spread
Trichostrongyle: haemonchus, ostertagia, trichostrongylus + Dictyocaulus
what are some strategies for parasite success
arrested developement
periparturinet rise
high egg count
overwintering
dictyocaulus viviparus
Trichostrongyle: haemonchus, ostertagia, trichostrongylus + Dictyocaulus
nonspecific sign of eye irritation
chemosis
