Parasitology
Liborio Gomez
animal does not exhibit
outward clinical sign
parasitiasis
animal does produce
signs
parasitosis
Host/species specificity
Associated only with one species of host, or
closely related hosts
Organ specificity
Each parasite species has its predilection site or on the host
Optional Occasional/Periodic Parasite
Parasite that briefly visit their host to
obtain nourishment but not dependent on them
Do not permanently live upon their host but are dependent upon them for
nourishment
Obligate Occasional Parasite
Determinate transitory
Parasitism is limited to stage/s in their life cycle
Explain Permanent parasite
Parasitism extends from the time of hatching of the eggs to the time that the eggs are produced by the adult
Fixed Parasite
Cannot pass spontaneously from one host to the other e.g helminthes
Wander from its usual site
Erratic and abberant Parasite
An anthropoparasite that affects man
Enterobius vermicularis
equally specific parasites
that affects man and animals (example)
Trichinella spiralis
man is essential for the life cycle e.g Taenia in
man
enzoones
parazoonoses
man is just accidentally involved
Require a single host specie to complete the life cycle (example)
Trichuris vulpis
It requires 2 or more host species to complete the life cycle
Heteroxenous parasite
Affects broad range of final hosts
euryxenous parasite
Affects narrow range of final hosts
stenoxenous parasites
harbors sexual, mature, or adult stage. eg. whipworms
final or definitive hosts
intermediate hosts
harbors asexual, immature, or larval stage
Reservoir or alternate hosts
final host that harbors the infection but
show no sign of infection
unnatural host in which parasites are accidentally lodged and transmission is through
ingestion of paratenic host
Transport or Paratenic host
Free living in nature can become
parasitic in certain host
facultative
must lead a parasitic existence
obligatory parasites
pseudoparasite
mistaken to be parasite
From infection until egg is demonstrated
Prepatent period
From egg production by adults until it ceases
patent period
any association between at least two living organisms of different species
symbiosis
member of symbiosis is called
symbiont
both organisms in the symbiotic relationship benefit
mutualism
samples of mutualism
- Ruminant Microflora
- flagellate and wood termite
commensalism
only one symbiont is benefitted although the other neither benefits nor is harmed
Predator - prey
An extremely short-term relationship in which one symbiont benefits at the expense of the other
Phoresis
Smaller member of the symbiotic relationship is mechanically carried about by the larger member
One symbiont (parasite) lives on or within the other member (host) and may cause harm
parasitism
Oviparous
lays undeveloped eggs
Ovoviviparous
lays larvated egg
Larviparous
lays larva
Pupiparous
lays larva that immediately turns into pupa
Parthenogenetic
reproduce without fertilization (male)
last larval skin retained; hardened skin (puparium) encloses pupa hence it can not
be seen externally
coarctate
wings and legs bound to body by
molting fluid but still visible externally
obtectate
wings and legs free from body and can
be seen externally
exarate
with no legs on the thorax and abdomen
(no legs)
Apodous
with head, 3 pairs of thoracic legs but no
abdominal legs
Oligopod
with head,3-segmented thorax with legs and
abdominal legs (complete)
polypod
Instar
form of the stadium
Stadia
stages between molts
ecdycess
periodic shedding or molting of exoskeleton
Looks like the adult but not capable of
reproduction
nymph
segmentation stage
egg
feeding and growth stage
larva/maggot/grub
Pupa
Quiscent (non-feeding and immobile)
Malpighian tubules are present in
mites and insects
Nephridia are present in
crustaceans
coxal gland are present in
arachnids
functions of foregut for digestion
Ingestion, passage, food disintegration
Functions of midgut or mesenteron
food storage and enzyme secretion
functions of hindgut or proctodeum
food absorption and fecal expulsion
gills are found in
Larva, nymph, adult aquatic
lungbook found in
spiders
gillbook are found in
crabs
Small circular opening in the exoskeleton of insects also called stigmata in arachnids
spiracle
enhances the gas exchange
throughout the small body
cytochrome
hemocoele is a space with a fluid that bathes all body organs
hemolymph
no change in form or development in the arthropod body
mechanical/non cyclical
Biological/cyclical transmission
there is change in form and development in the body of arthropod
the organism undergoes cyclical changes or change in form as well as in number
cyclopropagative
the organism undergoes cyclical arthropod body
and not undergo multiplication
cyclodevelopmental
organism undergoes multiplication in the arthropod but there is no cyclical development or change in form and size
propagative transmission
sample of propagative transmission
Pasteurella pestis in rat flea
transmission of infection through the next generation of ticks
transovarian or hereditary
organism is transmitted by the next developmental stage of ticks
transtadial
Characteristics of Complete/holometabolous life cycle
- 4 stages (egg, larva, pupa, adult)
- complete lifecycle with complete metamorphosis
Characteristics of Incomplete/hemimetabolous life cycle
- simple life cycle with incomplete or partial metamorphosis
- 1 or 2 life stages are missing
