Flourish in moist environments
&
often part of normal flora (GI tract & female genital tract)

28

2 Groups

A

Protozoan
Malaria / Amebiasis / Giardiasis / Toxoplasmosis
Leishmaniasis / Trypanosomiasis

Helminthic
WORMS
Enterobiasis = Pinworm // Cestodiasis = Tapeworm
Ascariasis = Roundworm // Trichuriasis = Whipworm

32
Q

Routes by Which Humans Acquire Parasitic Infections

A

EYES
Contact & Penetration

Inhalation

Vector-Borne
from bugs / mosquitos / flies

Fecal-Oral Ingestion

SKIN
COntact & penetration

Sexual Contact

33
Q
  • *Ascaris Lumbricoides**
  • *GIANT ROUND WORM**
A

1 of the most common:
Intestinal Worm Infections

Associated with:
Poor personal hygiene / sanitation
human feces = fertilizer

34
Q

Prion Disease

A

Prion = Infectious Proteins

Normal body proteins –> alternate configuration
from contact w/ other prion proteins

no DNA or RNA

Most common in humans/mammals = PrP

Prion forms insoluble deposits in BRAIN –> neurons rapidly degenerate

35

Fatal Familial Insomnia

KURU
brain eating in New Guinea

36
Q
