Flagellates Flashcards
phylum of flagellates
Protozoas
superclass of flagellates
Mastigophora
sub phylum of flagellates
sarcomastigophora
class of flagellates
Zoomastigophora
two groups of flagellates
intestinal and atrial
Members of this class lack or do not have the chromatophores
and thus depend on previously manufactured plant and
animal foods
intestinal
Their nutrition is holozoic (parasitic) and therefore may be
simple or in some cases it might be quite complex.
intestinal
Has a single nucleus and neuromotor apparatus. This
neuromotor would consist of a
➢ Blepharoplast which constitutes the kinetoplast.
intestinal
is an energizing component of flagellates.
kinetoplast
has an axonin
kinetoplast
rudimentary mouth is also known as
cytostome
reproduction of flagellates
longitudinal binary fission
disease of G.lamblia
giardiasis or flagellate diarrhea
only pathogenic intestinal flagellate
G.lamblia
Old-man in eyeglasses because of the two
nuclei with a central large karyosome or tennis
racket
Gardia lamblia
motility of gardia lamblia
jerky falling leaf (one of the
confirmatory that it is Giardia), kite like,
spinning, flip-flop
how many nuclei in cyst of G.lamblia
4 nuclei
is a sheath of microtubules that rises from the base
of flagella and is sometimes projecting beyond the end of the
cell and is often flexible and contractile and this may also be
involved in movement and provides support of the cell.
Axostyle
habitat of G.lamblia
Duodenum or gallbladder
invasive stage of G.lamblia
Trophozoite
Infective stage of G.lamblia
Cyst
incubation period of G.lamblia
1-4 weeks
MOT of G.lamblia
ingestion of contaminated food/drink
It has a unique microtubule structure that would include the
ventral disc. It has the primary organelles of attachment.
G.lamblia
It has the primary organelles of attachment.
G.lamb
During attachment, the ___has a domed
conformation and enables the Giardia to attach to the host
intestinal epithelium within seconds.
ventral disc
diagnostic stage of G.lamblia
Trophozoites
due to the coating of large surface as a barrier
to fat absorption
Steatorrhea; g lamb
can also be a mode of anchorage or attachment.
axostyle
- it is the structure of
undefined function.
median (parabasal) body
has a domed
conformation and enables the Giardia to attach to the host
intestinal epithelium within seconds.
ventral disc
is also known as fatty stool.
steatorrhea
odor of gardia lamblia, steatorrhea
hydrogen sulfide or rotten egg smell
. It is watery and the smell is rotten
egg that is what parasite>
G.lamblia
odor of amoebiasis due to E.coli
fishy smell
DFS- stained (Lugols) or unstained (we don’t need to add
NSS because it is already watery)
G.lmab
G.lamblia:
reveal the hypermotility of organism
fluoroscopy
G.lamblia:
to reveal mucosal defects
X ray
- Duodenal irritation- that causes stomachache
- Excess secretion of mucous
- Dehydration - due to diarrhea
- Dull epigastric pain
- Diarrhea
- Steatorrhea- due to the coating of large surface as a barrier
to fat absorption
G.lamb
accurate identification of giardiasis
enterotest
one of the clinical manifestation of giardiasis?
Excessive secretion of mucous
habitat og C.mesnili
cecal region of large intestine
pear shaped trophozoite
C.mesnili
Asymmetric due to cystostome and spiral groove
CHILOMASTIX MESNIL
This constitutes the kinetoplast
Blepharoplast
The _____ of flagellum is a continuation of the axonin which is composed of one or more fibrils.
Atrial atructure
Life cycle of trypanosomes
Dimorphic or polymorphic
Bilaterally symmetrical; pear-shaped
G.lam
With two nuclei, large central karyosome
G.lamb
1 nucleus with small central karyosome
CHILOMASTIX MESNILI
It has 3 flagellates that extends from the nucleus at
the anterior end of the parasite. These flagellates
helps the movement or motilityof the
CHILOMASTIX MESNILI
motility of C.mesinili
cork-screw, jerky, clockwise, twisting (this
can help in the identification of chilomastix mesnili
in stool sample
A distinct oral group or cystostome can be seen
near the nucleus and it moves in a directional
manner.
CHILOMASTIX MESNILI
