Cestodes Flashcards
I. Flat or ribbon-like appearance
I. Has 3 Life Cycle (Egg, Larval stage, Adult)
III. Hermaphroditic
IV. No circulatory system
V. Digestive tract is absent
VI. All are heteroxenous (Requires one intermediate host)
*EXCEPT for Hymenolepis nana because it can complete its cycle in a single hostàAuto-reinfection is known in the life cycle of H. nana
Cestodes
What is also known as oncosphere?
Hexacanth embryo
It is motile, first larval stage with six small hooks (hooklets)
Oncosphere
What is the Infective stage for cestodes?
Ingestion of egg or larval stage
What is the Diagnostic stage for cestodes?
Larval form in stool specimen
Both male and female reproductive system appear in mature proglottid. This is also known as self-fertilizing
Hermaphroditic
What are the Intestinal species in Class Cestoda? (TTHHDD)
I. Taenia saginata II. Taenia solium III. Hymenelopis diminuta IV. Hymenolopis nana V. Dipylidium caninum VI. Diphyllobothrium latum
Intestinal-extraintestinal species in Class Cestoda?
Echinococcus granulosus
Tapeworm body consists of:
I. Scolex/Head
II. Neck
III. Segments/Proglottids
- Organ adapted for attachment, the anterior end.
- Typical globular scolex has four-cup shaped suckers that gives ability to attach to the intestinal mucosa
- May have rostellum and hooklets.
Scolex/Head
Fleshy extension of the scolex and can have one
or two rows of hooks
Rostellum
What are the species with Globular Scolex w/ Hooklets?
I. Taenia solium
II. Hymenolepis nana
III. Dipylidium caninum
IV. Echinococcus granulosus
What are the species with Globular Scolex w/o Hooklets?
I. Taenia saginata
II. Hymenolopis diminuta
Spatulate Scolex that has 2 False suckers with Bothria?
Diphyllobothrium latum
Budding zone consisting of germinative tissues
NECK
Chain of segments
Strobila
Chain of segments
Strobila
Segments detach or rupture with mature eggs inside
Apolytic
Segments detach after eggs are exhausted.
Anapolytic
Region immediately posterior to the neck
Immature
Constitute the middle part
Mature
Terminal portion of the
strobila, farthest point away from the scolex
Gravid/ Ripe
What are the two classes of tapeworms?
I. Pseudophyllidean
II. Cyclophillidean
