30

31
 Elongated, cylindrical worms with an unsegmented body

32

35

36

(diecious)
37

38
Either oviparous or larviparous
NEMATODE
39
 The most common life cycle pattern among parasitic nematodes is direct. However, some use an indirect cycle with 2 hosts.
(filaria and Dracunculus)
40
 The life cycles of the individual nematodes are similar but
parasite-specific
41
 The specifics of each nematode organism’s life cycle are addressed on an
individual basis.
42
In their life cycle, nematodes may assume three (3) basic morphologic stages:
egg, larva (pl. larvae), and adult worm.
43
 Nematode eggs differ greatly in
size and shape
44
Egg  the shell is of variable thickness, usually consisting of three layers which protects the
ovum
45
Nematode egg shell layers
o an innermost thin, impermeable lipid layer o a middle, tough and chitinous layer o an outer vitelline membrane.
46
Terms generally used in reference to eggs are the following:
1. Fertilized (fertile) 2. Unfertilized (infertile)
47
 laid by gravid (i.e., pregnant) female worm following copulation (mating) with a male worm
Fertilized (fertile)
48
under proper incubation conditions, the (?) develops
fertilized ovum (zygote)
49
a product of unmated female worm, therefore, will not develop further
Unfertilized (infertile)
50
 having smaller cells, called blastomeres, formed by cleavage, a series of consecutive cell division of the fertilized ovum
Segmented
51
 after a number of cleavages, a solid mass of blastomeres, called morula, is formed.
Segmented
52
 the ovum/zygote is in one-cell stage
Unsegmented
53
 having an embryo (developing larva) which is an important criterion for egg maturity
Embryonated
54
 might refer to an egg that is "immature", i.e., not yet well into the process of development until egg contains a visible embryo; or it may be unfertilized so such egg will not contain a viable zygote
Unembryonated
55
There are four larval (or juveline) stages of a nematode life:
○ first-stage (L1, rhabditiform larva) ○ second-stage (L2) ○ third-stage (L3, filariform larva) ○ fourth-stage larva (L4)
56
first-stage
L1, rhabditiform larva
57
third-stage
L3, filariform larva
58
 The egg embryonates and (?) develops inside the egg.  During each larval stage, a (?) happens where the cuticle is shed, allowing the nematode to increase in size.  After reaching a particular stage of growth and favorable conditions are present, the (?) and the larva emerges from the egg shell.  A molt of the L4 stage results into the (?) (either male or female) which occurs in the definitive host.  (?) reside in their preferred habitat, where they concentrate on obtaining nutrition and reproduction.  Depending on the species, the adult female nematode may lay eggs ((?) female) or larvae ((?) female); some produce eggs containing fully formed larvae ((?) female).
L1 molt egg hatches adult stage Adults oviparous, viviparous, ovoviviparous
59
 Most often, the infective stage is the (?) with first-stage larva for (?) and the third-stage larva for the (?).
embryonated egg Adenophorea Secernentea
60
 In other nematodes, infection is brought by the (?) that have hatched from the egg.
larvae
61
Infection of humans with different species of nematodes is by:
i. ingestion of the infective stage egg or larva ii. larval penetration through the skin of the host iii. transmission of larvae by the bite of an insect

76
In general terms, the effect of parasitic nematodes on the host depends upon the following factors:
i. the worm burden ii. the habitat of the parasite iii. the activities of the parasite iv. the length of time the infection persists v. the overall health of the host
77
 Since the nematodes can only rarely multiply in humans, the number of parasites present is a critical factor in determining the amount of damage to the host.
Worm Burden
78
 In most cases, an infection of a small number of worms in a relatively healthy individual may remain asymptomatic or cause minimal discomfort.
Worm Burden
79
 However, patients who have a heavy worm burden, particularly if combined with other health problems, are probably more likely to experience severe symptoms and/ or complications.
Worm Burden
80
 The local reaction to adult worms in the intestine are generally minimal. Many infected patients are asymptomatic, but manifestations of infection include abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, fever. Skin irritation, the formation of skin blisters, and muscle involvement may also be present.
Habitat
81
 The pathogenicity of intestinal nematodes may be due, in part, to migration of adults or larvae through human tissues such as liver or lungs, piercing of the intestinal wall, bloodsucking activities of adult worms, or allergic reactions to substances secreted or excreted by either adult worms or larval stages.
Habitat
82
 This can be serious in heavy infections.
Habitat
83
 Pathogenicity induced by the tissue-dwelling adult nematodes primarily results from immune and nonspecific host responses to the parasite secretions and excretions and to degenerating parasite material. In some cases it may result from circulating larval stages. Migrating nematodes are usually associated with blood or tissue eosinophilia.
Activity
84
 Nematodes are long-lived worms. Infections with nematodes have been known to last for up to 12 months or longer (some infections may last 10 to 15 years or more), depending on the specific species involved. The occurence of reinfections and/or autoinfections may increase the infection time up to several years and beyond; some infections persist indefinitely.
Length of Infection
85
 The occurrence of reinfections and/or autoinfections may increase the infection time up to several years and beyond; some infections persist indefinitely.
