Plasmodium species (Malaria) path
P-infected female anopheles mosquito hunts for a blood meal in evening -> Plasmodium is in a sporozoite stage in salivary gland -> mosquito's proboscis piece skin sporozoites spill into bloodstream -> liver start asexual reproduction called schizogony -> over 1-2 weeks P. falciparum, malariae, knowlesi multiply asexually & mature to merozoites -> 1 mon-years P. ovale and vivax go dormant -> merozoites bind to duffy receptor on all different stages of RBC --> asexual reproduction 2-3 days -> trophozoite -> late trophozoite -> hemozoin/schizont -> replication -> release into RBC -> some turn into gametocytes and taken up by mosquitos -> mature and fuse into a zygote in gut -> ookinete -> oocyst rupture releasing sporozoites -> into salivary gland
173

176
Schistosomiasis def
parasitic flatworms that cause damage in the mesenteries of the bladder
177
Schistosomiasis cause
Schistosoma haematobium, S. japonicum, and S. mansoni
178
Schistosomiasis path
Schistosoma eggs are eleminated in feces or urine into water -> eggs hatch and release miracidia -> miracidia penetrate snail tissue -> sporocyst develop in snail -> free-swimming cercariae released from snail into water -> cercariea penetrates skin -> cerciarea loses tails during penetration and becomes shcistocomulae -> migration to liver through circulation -> adult form -> migration to mesenteric venules/vesical venous plex -> egg deposit -> inflammation -> fibrosis
179
Schistosomiasis RF
male, rural areas, contact w/ fresh water bodies in endemic areas
