Answer 2

small intestine of pigs and humans

Question 3

Question 4

Answer 4

1. segmentia snails

2. aquatic plants (encystment occurs)

Question 5

IF fasciolopsi

Answer 5

metacercariae

Question 6

moa fasciolops

Answer 6

humans eat aquatic plants where they ingest the metacercariaae

Question 7

diagnosis fasciolops

Answer 7

eggs in faeces /worms

Question 8

tx fasciolops

Answer 8

praziquantel

Question 9

introduction for intestinal flukes

Answer 9

These pathogens are common throughout Asia (particularly SE Asia), where their prevalence may reach 30% in certain populations. Children are more heavily infected and prone to symptoms.

Question 10

names of intestinal flukes

Answer 10

fasciolopsis buski
heterophys
metogonimus

Question 11

eggs of buski

Answer 11

are percolated and similar to the eggs of f.hepatica . eggs are laid in the lumen of about 25,000 per days

Question 12

signs of buski

Answer 12

initial symptoms are diarrhoea and abdominal pain

larvae that attach to the duodenal and jejanul mucosa cause inflammation and ulceration

protein losing enteropathy - edema and ascites

Question 13

prophylaxis of fascioplopsias

Answer 13

control of snails
prevention of contamination of water with human and pig faces
washing the plant
time between harvesting the plant and consumption to be as prolonged as possible because dryness can decrease , cause the IF TO DIE or boil it

Question 14

heterophyosis hosts

Answer 14

def: man, and other animals , cats dogs and foxes BUT NOT PIGS LIKE THE OTHERS
intermediate: snail + fish (encystment occurs)

Question 15

moa for heterophyosis

Answer 15

humans eat fish which is raw, undercooked

Question 16

IF for heterophysosi

Answer 16

metacercaria In the fish

Question 17

treatment for heterophysis

Answer 17

praziquantel

Question 18

symptoms for hetrophysis

Answer 18

usual abdominal pain and diarrhoea, occasionally the eggs can be carrier to ectopic sites such as brain and spinal cord, and induce granulomas and rarely its the worms themselves that embolism

Question 19

which is the smallest trematode parasite of man

Answer 19

heterophyes

Question 20

hosts of metagnomius

Answer 20

definite: humans, pigs , dogs cats

intermediat : fresh water snail, and fish

Question 21

tx for metagonmius

Answer 21

praziquantel

Question 22

diagnosis in general of intestinal flukes

Answer 22

faecal examination for eggs. Differentiation between Fasciola hepatica and F. buski is often difficult. Similarly, intestinal flukes’ eggs closely resemble those of Clonorchis and Opisthorchis. Recovery of adult worms from post-treatment faeces allows a definitive diagnosis, although in the case of the heterophyids this is difficult owing to their small size. Extraintestinal cases of heterophyosis are also difficult to diagnose - they are often only revealed during surgery or autopsy.

Question 23

how to tell the difference between metagoonimus and hetrophysosi

Answer 23

both have ventral suckers but metagonimus is more laterally displaced and also does not have the 3rd genital sucker
