Chapter 8 - Nematodes Flashcards
Concerned primarily with animal parasite of humans as well as their medical importance
Clinical Parasitology
Organism that usually harbors the parasite
Host
Intermediate host - kind of parasite
Rabidiform/filariform
Remains viable but no further development (cyst)
Paratenic
Important source of infection for susceptible host
Reservoir
Life cycle; lives in organ different from the one it usually lives - Example
Erratic; Entamoeba histolytica
What parasite is Obligatory
Plasmodium spp.
What parasite is Facultative
Strongyloides stercolaris
Infect is not a normal location; wandering parasite
Aberrant - Ascaris lumbricoides
Another parasite as a host
Hyperparasite
Example of Hyperparasite
Ctenophalides canis
Dipylidium caninum
Usually visit host during feeding time
Intermittent
Two stages are usually passed into different host
Periodic
Larval stage is usually passed in the host while adult is free living
Transitory
Parasite passes through alimentary tract without infecting host; non pathogenic
Copozoic; Spurious
Protozoa is examine under what objective
OIO
Animalia is examine under what objective
LPO
Disease or condition found among with particular people such as member of family
Endemic
Wide spread occurrence of infectious diseases
Epidemic
Global epidemic, spread on 1 or more continent
Pandemic
Example of Intermittent / temporary parasite
Anopheles spp.
