25
Q

Factors Affecting Parasitism*

A

Parasite reproductive capacity
* Number of parasites
* Host immune resistance
* Climate and season
* Cattle management practices

26
Q
  • Eukaryotic, multicellular
    • Cylindrical and tapered
    • Complete digestive system
    • Mostly dioecious (separate sexes)
    • Males smaller with spicules
    • Free-living or parasitic
    • Live in the host for most of their lives
    • Examples: *Ascaris, hookworms,
A

Nematodes (roundworms)

27
Q
  • Flat, leaf-shaped bodies
    • Ventral and oral suckers
    • Absorb food through cuticle
    • Named after host tissue where they reside (e.g., lung fluke, liver fluke)
A

Trematoda (flukes)

28
Q
  • Intestinal parasites
    • Scolex (head) with suckers, sometimes hooks
    • Absorb food through cuticle
    • Body consists of proglottids (segments with reproductive organs)
A

Cestodes (tapeworms)

29
Q

Life cycle of trematodes

A

Egg
Miracidia
Sporocyst
Redia
Cercaria
Metacercaria

30
Q

Life cycle of cestodes

A

Egg
Oncosphere
Cysticersi

31
Q
  • Jointed legs
    • Invertebrates
    • Exoskeleton
    • Segmented body
    • Paired appendages
A

Arthropods

32
Q
  • Eukaryotic, multicellular
  • Head, thorax, abdomen
  • Head: eyes, antennae, mouthparts
  • Thorax: legs, wings
  • Most flies (Diptera) have two wings, lice (Mallophaga and Anoplura) and fleas (Siphonaptera) are wingless
A

Q
  • Eukaryotic, multicellular
  • Subclass Acari (mites and ticks)
  • Larvae have three pairs of legs, nymphs and adults have four pairs
  • Fused head, thorax, abdomen; no antennae or mandibles
  • Mouthparts form a capitulum
A

Class arachnida

34
Q
  • Eukaryotic, multicellular
  • Subclass Acari (mites and ticks)
  • Larvae have three pairs of legs, nymphs and adults have four pairs
  • Fused head, thorax, abdomen; no antennae or mandibles
  • Mouthparts form a capitulum
