17
Q

Dipylidiidae

A

Dipylidium caninum
-each proglottid has two sets of reproductive organs
Rostellum is armed
Proglottids are active

Cosmopolitan and also found in cats and wild cats

18
Q

Anatomy dipluidiidae

A

In each uterine pocket, there’s 8-15 eggs
eggs are spherical
hooklets are small
the disintegration of proglottids leads to the release of eggs, usually found intact with the mother envelope

19
Q

Life cycle continued diplidiidae

A

Eggs are ingested by larval stages of ectoparasitic insects, especially fleas, lice have also been implicated

A larval stage is found in a cystecercoid is found in the arthropod intermediate host (hyperparasitism example)

When ingested the cysticercoid is liberated and attaches to the DH intestine, to complete development

20
Q

Anoplocephalidae

A

Monezia
- Hooved animals serve as DH
-Large tapeworms up to 6 meters
-Proglottids are more wise than long
-Two sets of reproductive organs
Scolex is unarmed

21
Q

monezia Anatomy

A

Sheep cattle and goats,
Monezia benedeni
eggs are square in shape
Monezia expanse
-eggs are more triangluar
Eggs possess a pyriform apparatus and an embryophore with hook, or horn like extensions

IH is a mite

22
Q

Mesocestoides

A

widespread in carnicores
wordwide distribiton
some consider this group a distinct order

Morphology
Medioventral position of genital pores
-diagnostic of the genus

Soclex has 4 simple suckers
no rostellum
each proglottid has a single set of reproductive organs

23
Q

Mesocestoides life cycle

A

The complete life cycle is not known but many have a rodent or reptile intermediate host

has a larval tapeworm form is known as an [terathyridium] it is a characteristic of this genus

unusual in that it may undergo asexual reproduction in a definitive host. Not by budding but by longitudinal fission.

24
Q

Nematodes

A

Among the most abundant animals on earth

Nematodes are free living or parasitic
75 percent live in marine , freshwater, or soil habitats
Many s[ecies parasitize plants or insects

25
Q

Nemtodes antonmy

A

Bilaterally symmetrical
Elongated
Tapered at both ends
Possess a pseudocel
Complete GI tract
Body is covered in non-cellular cuticles secreted by the hypodermis underneath
Cuticle sheds a number of times during development.

Muscles
Secretory and excretory system

Most are dioecious

Considerable sexual dimoprhosem

Females larger

vary in size from 1mm to 10 meters

26
Q

Form and Function Nematodes

A

(Look at Slides)

27
Q

Dioctophyme renale

A

in a lot of mammals

28
Q

Morphology of dioctophyme

A

Morphology, large nematode
blood red in color with blunt ends

29
Q

Life cycle

A

Few weeks to three months to embryonated
temperature dependent

30
Q

Epidemiology

A

Any large mammal may serve as a definitive host
fish diet
herbivoes

31
Q

Pathology of kidney worm

A

loss of kidney finction
worms may penetrate renal capsule and wander the coelomic cavity

32
Q

Calodium hepatica

A

A parasite of the liver
predomitnly rodents

eggs deposited in liver
Transmission depends on eggs being released from liver
Consumption by a predator
decomposition of liver tissue after crath
eggs can not develop in the liver

33
Q

Calodium hepatica

A

Eggs released from definitive host or pass through GU treat of predator
Wandering adults through liver causes damage

losses of liver cells
loss of liver function
large areas of parenchyma
hepatomegaly
host immune response
granulomatous tissue
infilitration of eosinophils and leukocytes

34
Q

Capillarids

A

lung parasite of dogs, cats, cand other carnicores
-eucoleus aeophilus

Eucoleus annulata

requires earthworm as a host, affects esphogus and crop of birds

35
Q

Tylencha

A

Strongyloidses
- infects humans, dogs, cats, non-human primates, other mammals
in many cases stronglyoides has a remarkable ability to maintain homogonic, parasitic. lifecycles, or repeat free living generation, depending on conditions

36
Q

Stronglyoides morphology

A

both sexes have a rhabditiform esophagus

Parasitic females can burrow in small intestine

produce a thinshelled partially embryonotic egg
-eggs typically hatch as they pass through the GI tract
Usually L, s in the feces of mammals
juveniles can develop in the feces

37
Q

Strongloides stercolralis

A

Free licing addults produce generations of free living

infects birds

homogonic heterogonic
- some humans have been infected with this
usually infected through contacting juveniles in contaminated soil and water
transmammary infection can occur in dogs
predominantly a tropical disease
prevalent in poor sanitary conditions

pathology
- worms may migrate into skin
destructions of tissues by adults and larval forms

fibrosis in chronic cases and septicema can lead to death
diagnosis–baermann and serodiagnosis by ELISA for antigens

38
Q

Phylum nematomoprha–hairworms

A

parasites of arthropods
beetles and crickets
elongated active worms

known for occurring in tangled masses resembling a gordian knot

39
Q

Life cycle nema

A

occurence in water is a normal part of the life cycle

Occur as juveniles in arthropods
develop to near maturity befotr leaving host
transition to adult occurs in water quickly

40
Q

Nematompoprpha

A

Phylum has 300 species
Nectonematida
-contains 5 marine species
Gordiida
-freshwater

41
Q

Nematom morphology

A

Females larger than males
have dorsal and ventral rows of bristles
body wall
-thick cuticle
homogenous outer layer
several inner fibrious layers
cuticle ornate with areoles
raised polygon shaped areas
papillae
bristles

digestive
simplistic as an adult
