Lecture 1 Flashcards
Define the Medical Parasitology ?
It is the study of animal
parasites which infect and produce disease in humans.
What is the parasite?
Organisms which lives in or upon Host and draws it nutrients directly from it.
Parasites are two types ……..and…………..?
Endoparasite and Ectoparasite
Define the endoparasite and give me the Types?
The parasite, which lives within the host.
– Obligate parasite
– Facultative parasite
– Accidental parasite
– Aberrant parasite
Define the Ectoparasite?
The parasite, which lives on the outer surface or in the superficial tissues of the host (eg: lice).
Medical Parasitology study of what?
-parasites causing human disease – general structure and life cycle – mode of transmission to human. – Disease – Laboratory diagnosis – Prevention and Controls. – Treatment
True or false
- parasite always small not seen by naked eye( )
- Malaria is example of large parasite ( )
- Taenia ”tapeworm” is large parasite ( )
False- could be small or large
False- small parasite
True
Mention 2 example of Unicellular parasite ?
Amoeba
Giardina
Mention 2 example of Multicellular parasite?
Trematoda
Cestoda
Define the Host
organism, which
harbors”carry”the parasite and provides the nourishment and shelter”house”.
Mention the type of Host and Write short explanation about each one?
- Definitive host - harbors the 🙎🏻♂️adult,mature,sexual parasite
- Intermediate host- harbors the 👼🏻young,immature,asexual parasite
- Reservoir hosts - harbors animal 🐶
- Paratenic host- harbors parasite’lived or died’ that belong to plant,animal by food contaminated 🥐🪱
- Natural host - original
- Accidental host
Mention the Host-Parasite Relationship?and write ✍️ short note 📝
Mutualism / Both host and symbiont benefit and Don’t harmed ,can be long or short term
ببساطة العلاقه اللطيفة يتستفيدون من بعض بدون أذية
Commensalism/ The symbiont benefits by receiving transportation,housing,nutrition and the host don’t helped nor harmed
العلاقه المعفنه واحد يستفيد على حساب الثاني بدون مايضر😒
Parasitism/ the symbiont lives in/on the Host
Symbiont is Benefits, Host is Harmed
واحد يستفيد على حساب تضرر الثاني 😡
Obligate parasite means?
Depend on host
Facultative parasite means?
Can change its life style from free living to parasitic like Strongyloides
Accidental parasite means?
Infect the unusual host by chance like Toxocara canis
Differentiate between Temporary and Permanent parasite?
Temporary visit the host to feed them leave
Permanent live in/on the host for ever ‘لصقه🩹
Opportunistic parasite means?
Parasite cause disease to immune-compromised host
The time interval between initial contact with an infectious agent and appearance of first sign and symptoms of disease Is————-
Incubation period
Define pathogen ?
Cause damage to the host
Define pathogenesis ?
The development of the disease and the chain of events leading to that disease
The resistance offered by the host towards the injury caused by the microorganisms or their products is————
Immunity
Prevention refers to?
Interception of the disease
What is the source of infection?
Person,animal,contaminated object or substance from parasite passes to host
Human belong to which kingdom?
Animality
Mention the sub kingdom of parasites
-Protozoa single-celled organisms -Helminths multicellular organisms – Arthopoda triploblastic segmented, bilaterally symmetrical invertebrates with paired articulated appendages.
Differentiate between Protozoa and Helminths
Protozoa small,unicellular,complete morphological and functional
Helminths
Large,have particular function such as reproduction,digestion,excretion
