Q

cestodes body and repro

A
  • Neck – Germinal area behind scolex serving as source of growth for new segments
  • Proglottids/ Stobila – Segments where immature right behind neck, mature behind immature, gravid after mating behind mature and containing eggs
  • Segments can either routinely release eggs into feces or individual segments detach and passed in feces before releasing eggs

Q

cestodes life cycle 101

A

Egg in feces -> Egg or coracidium eaten by inter-mediate host -> Meta-cestode is final stage in inter-mediate host & disease causing stage -> Final hosts eats inter-mediate & thus also ingests meta-cestode -> Becomes strobilate tapeworm in final host intestines

Q

diphyllobothriidea lifecycle

A

Trematode like eggs w/ operculum on top

  • Coracidium – Product of embryon-ation (egg in water then develops into this w/ 6 hooklets inside)

  • Plerocircoid – Stage in next host (meta-cestode in this case)
