Nematodes General Characteristics
- Unsegmented
- Possesses mouth (buccal cavity), esophagus, and anus (important in further diagnosis
- In general sexes separate (Dioecious)
Where is the nematodes’ buccal cavity located?
In the anterior part of the adult parasite
Where is the anus of nematodes located?
Near terminal portion
Nematodes reproduction
Oviparous, Larviparous/Viviparous, Oviviparous
Depositing larvae rather than eggs.
Larviparous/Viviparous
(Nematode) Infection by
- Ingestion of eggs, or
- Penetration of larvae through surfaces
- Arthropod vector
- Ingestion of encysted larvae
Cestodes General Characteristics
- Segmented – known as proglottids
- Possess, scolex, neck, and proglottids
- Hermaphroditic
- Reproduction
- Oviparous
- Sometimes reproduction within larval forms
-Infection generally by encysted larvae
Trematodes General Characteristics
- Unsegmented
- Leaflike or cylindrical
- Generally hermaphroditic
- Reproduction
- Oviparous
- Multiplication within larval forms
- Infection mainly by larval stages entering intestinal tract sometimes through the skin
Most abundant & widespread animal group
Many species are free-living in fresh or salt water, mud, or soil while others are considered parasites of both animals & plants
Nematodes
thread = “_____”
nema
Adult Nematode Characteristics

Nematode Body is covered with tough cuticle which may be
_______, ______, _______ or _____
smooth, striated, bossed or spiny
Trichinella spiralis size
<5 mm

<5 mm
Dracunculus medinensis size
1 m
Male (nematodes) are generally _________ than females & their posterior end is curved or coiled ventrally
smaller
Nematodes’ Body cavity has a
- high hydrostatic pressure
- straight digestive tract with an anteriorly terminal mouth (buccal cavity)
- posteriorly subterminal anus
Excretory & nervous systems are rudimentary, circulatory system is absent, & the body wall consists of an outer layer of cuticle & an inner layer of longitudinal muscles
Separate sexes (diecious
Nematodes
Nematodes Male Reproductive System:
- Testis/penis – spicule
- vas deferens
- seminal vesicle
- ejaculatory duct that opens into the cloaca
(found in the terminal region of the parasite, sa posterior part)
Spicule
Female reproductive system:
- Ovary
- Oviduct
- seminal receptacle
- uterus
- vagina
laying eggs, nagproproduce at nangingitlog
Oviparous
Parasites that lay unsegmented eggs
Ascaris lumbricoides

Ancylostoma duodenale
Necator americanus
giving birth to larvae, hindi nangingitlog, kundi nanganganak
Viviparous
Viviparous Parasites
Dracunculus medinensis
Wuchereria bancrofti
Brugia malayi
Trichinella spiralis
laying eggs containing larvae which are immediately hatched out, lays their egg with larva which are immediately hatched out, nangingitlog but their egg is madaling mapisa and magiging larva
Ovoviviparous
Ovoviviparous parasite
Strongyloides stercoralis
Ascaris lumbricoides daily output of eggs
> 200,000 eggs/female/day
Strongyloides stercoralis daily output of eggs
few eggs/female/day
Nematodes Has ____ life history stage
five
Infective stage is usually
third stage larva (L3 Larva)
Man is optimum hots, except:
- Trichinella spiralis (pig is optimum host, man
is the alternative host)
Optimum host
Definitive host
Alternative host
Intermediate host
Only requotes ONE host, except the superfamilies ___________ and ___________
Dracunculoidea and Filarioidea
no. of host of Dracunculoidea and Filarioidea
– 2 hosts, 1 definitive and 1 intermediate which is an insect vector
Parasites that belong to Dracunculoidea superfamily:
Dracunculus medinensis ( 1 definitive and 1 intermediate host, snail and cyclop/copepod)
Parasites that belong to Filarioidea superfamily:
Wuchureria bancrofti
Brugia malayi
Onchocerca volvulus
Dirofilaria immits
Dirofilaria repens
Dirofilaria conjuctivae

› Strongyloides stercoralis
› Necator americanus
› Ancylostoma duodenale
› Enterobius vermicularis
Tissue Dwelling
Trichinella spiralis – resides in the smooth muscles
Blood and Tissue (Lymphatic and Non-lymphatic Filariasis)
› Brugia malayi
› Wuchureria bancrofti
› Loa loa
› Mansonella ozzardi
› Mansonella perstans
› Mansonella streptocerca

› Dirofilaria immitis
Infections caused by helminths of the Class Nematoda that requires the soil as its medium of further development & continuous life cycle
In the soil, larvae develop inside the egg (embryonated egg)
Soil Transmitted Helminthiasis
embryonation would take place with the presence of the
soil
