Vector for malaria
Female anopheles mosquito
Cycle of malaria in human liver
Exoerythrocytic cycle
Cycle of malaria in human RBC
Erythrocytic cycle
Infective form of malaria to humans
Sporozoites
Responsible for relapse and vivax and ovale malaria
Hypnozoites
Attachment of P falciparum in RBC
Erythrocyte glycophorin A
Membrane protein expressed with IC falciparum malaria
PfEMP1
Primary receptor of P vivax
Duffy chemokine receptor/Duffy blood group antigen
Hemozoin pigments in infected RBCs and macrophages
Malaria
Complications of P falciparum malaria
Cerebral malaria
Black water fever
Complication of P malariae malaria
Nephrotic syndrome
Complication of untreated P vivax
liver, kidney and brain damage
Single ring form in enlarged, circular RBC
P vivax
Multiple ring forms in single, unenlarged RBC with some stuck to periphery. Crescentic shaped gametocytes are seen.
P falciparum
Single ring form in an enlarged, oval RBC
P ovale
Bar and band shaped trophozoites and merozoites that form rosette in smear
P malariae
Treatment for liver stages of P vivax and P ovale
Primaquine
Primary vector of babesia microti
Ixodes tick
Endemic area of Babesia
Northeastern seaboard of US
Infective form to humans is pyriform bodies that attach to glycophorins A and B
Babesia microti
Multiple ring forms forming tetrads
Babesia microti
Treatments for mild to moderate babesiosis
Atovaquone
Azithromycin
Treatments for severe babesiosis
Clindamycin
Exchange transfusion
QuinineC
Complications of babesiosis in immunocompromised
Hemolytic anemia with renal failure
Non-enveloped, linear ssDNA virus that replicates in S phase of cell cycle
Parvovirus B19
Virus that targets erythroid progenitor cells in bone marrow
Parvovirus B19
Cell receptor for parvovirus B19
P antigen - globoside
Transmission of parvovirus B19
Respiratory droplets
Transplacental
Complications of parvovirus B19
Transient aplastic crisis
Hydrops fetalis
