Q

What is a cestode?

A

Tape worm

19
Q

What are the three types of AChE in a helminth?

A

1,2,3

20
Q

How does glutamate cause its inhibitory effect?

A

Acts on LLR GPCR, activates PLC, makes DAG/IP3, activates UNCI3 and synaptobrevin, causes neurotransmitter release which hyperpolarises post synaptic membrane

21
Q

How do pyrethroids work?

A

Excitotoxin - delay opening and closing of Na+ channel

22
Q

Which pyrethroids degreade in sunlight?

A

Type I

23
Q

What must pyrethroids be synergised with?

A

BPO

24
Q

What does piperonl butoxide do?

A

Type I pyrexin potentiator

25
Q

What does formamidines do?

A

Octopamine (inhibitory) receptor inhibitor

26
Q

What is the octopamine receptor like?

A

DOpamine

27
Q

What do phenylpyrazoles do?

A

Inhibit GABA

28
Q

What do nitroguanidines do?

A

nAChR blocker

29
Q

What do metaflumizone, indoxacarb, pyriproxifen do?
