12. trematodes Flashcards
flukes are
trematodes
part of the plathelminthes (flatworms)
Monogenea and Digenea
monogenea life cycle
direct lifecycle
hermaphrodites
viviparous- no eggs Live L1
feed on epidermis, blood and mucous
Monogenea- gyrodactylus, dactylogyrus
monogenea symptoms
excessive mucus secretion
hemorrhage, tissue loss→secondary infections
inflammation
can be lethal in heavy infections
(Flukes)Monogenea- gyrodactylus, dactylogyrus
Gyrodactylus spp infect
ectoparasite on skin and gills of aquatic animals
attach by haptor?
(flukes) Monogenea- gyrodactylus, dactylogyrus
treatment of gyrodactylus
copper sulfate bath
formalin
hydrogen peroxide
fluke on skin and gills of fish
(flukes) Monogenea- gyrodactylus, dactylogyrus
Digenea
blood or tissue dwelling flukes
hermaphrodites
Digenea: PDDFTS. paramphistomatidae, dicrocoelidae, diplostomatidae,fasciolidae, troglotrematidae, schistomatidae
digenea- fluke
Digenea: PDDFTS. paramphistomatidae, dicrocoelidae, diplostomatidae,fasciolidae, troglotrematidae, schistomatidae
lifecycle of digenea
DH- eggs into water
eggs hatch and release micracidium
IH goes through asexual reproduction- cercaria
- cercaria directly penetrates skin of DH
- cecaria eaten by 2nd IH then eaten by DH
- form cyst on vegetation- metacercaria- that is eaten by DH
when in DH will undergo sexual reproduction to form new egg
Digenea: PDDFTS. paramphistomatidae, dicrocoelidae, diplostomatidae,fasciolidae, troglotrematidae, schistomatidae
lifecycle of digenean
Digenea: PDDFTS. paramphistomatidae, dicrocoelidae, diplostomatidae,fasciolidae, troglotrematidae, schistomatidae
— and — are digenean that enter DH by forming metacercariae
cyst on vegetation
Fasciolidae
(eg, Fasciola hepatica, F. gigantica, Fascioloides magna)
Paramphistomatidae
(eg, Paramphistomum cervi, P microbothroides)
Digenea: FPDDTS. fasciolidae, paramphistomatidae, dicrocoelidae, diplostomatidae, troglotrematidae, schistomatidae
adult Fasciola hepatica are found
in liver
liver fluke- 3-4 cm
flattened shoulders
leaf like
infection by eating metacercariae encysted vegetation
Digenea: FPDDTS. fasciolidae, paramphistomatidae, dicrocoelidae, diplostomatidae, troglotrematidae, schistomatidae
eggs of F. hepatica
operculate- trap door?
found in feces
unembryonated eggs
infection by eating metacercariae encysted vegetation
Digenea: FPDDTS. fasciolidae, paramphistomatidae, dicrocoelidae, diplostomatidae, troglotrematidae, schistomatidae
lifecycle of F. hepatica
form metacercaria
liver fluke-
Digenea: FPDDTS. fasciolidae, paramphistomatidae, dicrocoelidae, diplostomatidae, troglotrematidae, schistomatidae
symptoms of acute F. hepatica
liver lesions, tissue destruction, internal bleeding
black disease- caused by Clostridium novyi growing in these lesions
liver fluke that makesmetacercaria to infect host(sheep)
Digenea: FPDDTS. fasciolidae, paramphistomatidae, dicrocoelidae, diplostomatidae, troglotrematidae, schistomatidae
secondary infection by — cause black disease in liver infected by F. hepatica
Clostridium novyi
liver fluke that makes metacercaria to infect DH(sheep)
Digenea: FPDDTS. fasciolidae, paramphistomatidae, dicrocoelidae, diplostomatidae, troglotrematidae, schistomatidae
Chronic F. hepatica cause
bile duct hyperplasia, fibrosis and calcification
low blood protein, anemia and wasting disease
liver fluke that forms metacercaria to infect DH (sheep)
Digenea: FPDDTS. fasciolidae, paramphistomatidae, dicrocoelidae, diplostomatidae, troglotrematidae, schistomatidae
infectious dose >5000 metacercariae
Animals suddenly die without any previous clinical signs. Ascites, abdominal hemorrhage, jaundice, pallor of membranes may be observed.
acute type 1 F. hepatica
liver fluke that makes metacercaria to infect DH(sheep)
Digenea: FPDDTS. fasciolidae, paramphistomatidae, dicrocoelidae, diplostomatidae, troglotrematidae, schistomatidae
infectious dose = 1000-5000 metacercariae As above, sheep die, but briefly show pallor, loss of
condition, and ascites.
Acute type II F. hepatica infection
liver fluke that makes metacercaria to infect DH(sheep)
Digenea: FPDDTS. fasciolidae, paramphistomatidae, dicrocoelidae, diplostomatidae, troglotrematidae, schistomatidae
infectious dose = 800-1000
metacercariae. Sheep are lethargic, anemic, and may die.
Weight loss is the dominant feature.
subacute Fasciolosis
F. hepatica
liver fluke that makes metacercaria to infect DH(sheep)
Digenea: FPDDTS. fasciolidae, paramphistomatidae, dicrocoelidae, diplostomatidae, troglotrematidae, schistomatidae
infectious dose = 200-800
metacercariae. Asymptomatic or gradual development of bottle jaw and ascites, emaciation, weight loss.
chronic fasciolosis
F. hepatica
liver fluke that makes metacercaria to infect DH(sheep)
Digenea: FPDDTS. fasciolidae, paramphistomatidae, dicrocoelidae, diplostomatidae, troglotrematidae, schistomatidae
treatment for F. hepatica
some drugs
drain ponds to kill IH (snails)
fluke-free pastures
liver fluke that spread by metacercariae
Digenea: FPDDTS. fasciolidae, paramphistomatidae, dicrocoelidae, diplostomatidae, troglotrematidae, schistomatidae
Fascioloides magna infect
form cyst in liver and bile duct of deer
juveniles do not mature in cattle, sheep and goats- worms migrate around
Digenea: FPDDTS. fasciolidae, paramphistomatidae, dicrocoelidae, diplostomatidae, troglotrematidae, schistomatidae
F. hepatica- small liver fluke in sheep
F. magna- large liver fluke that cause cyst formation in deer. If it infects sheep and goats will migrate through liver
Digenea: FPDDTS. fasciolidae, paramphistomatidae, dicrocoelidae, diplostomatidae, troglotrematidae, schistomatidae
Paramphistomum cervi and P. microborthroides are called
rumen flukes
use metacercaria to infect sheep and cattle
Digenea: FPDDTS. fasciolidae, paramphistomatidae, dicrocoelidae, diplostomatidae, troglotrematidae, schistomatidae
