Q

morphological recap of cyclophyllidean tapeworms

A

hermaphroditic (like most flukes)
always endoparasitic
adults lack digestive tract, but have muscular system to move
scolex (head) contains four suckers/acetabula
armed or unarmed (hooks)
germinal neck and body (strobila) with segments (proglottids)
more mature proglottids are farther from scolex
each proglottid contains excretory system, nervous system and is hermaphroditic

31
Q

metacestode of taenia taeniaeformis

liver of rats and mice

32
Q

metacestode is a __ in case of taenia taeniaeformis vs other dog taenia discussed were ___

A

strobilocercus (single non-invaginated scolex attached to bladder)
cysticercus (single invaginated scolex “inside out scolex” )

33
Q

this taeniae tapeworm is found in SI of dogs and the metacestode stage is a unilocular hydatid cyst

A

echinococcus granulosus

short tapeworm, metacestode stage contains a large bladder filled with hundreds of scolices that acts as a brood capsule and is also termed to look like ‘hydatid sand” (unilocular hydatid cyst)

34
Q

which taeniid has zoonotic potential

A

echinococcus granulosus

be cautious with all taeniids bc the eggs all look alike

35
Q

echinococcus granulosus metacestode stage is found

A

liver, lung, brain of cattle, sheep, horses, pigs, humans (unilocular hydatid cyst) - can try to sx remove depending on location

36

scary tiny tapeworm that makes a thin multilocular hydatid cyst

A

echinococcus multilocularis

37
Q

metacestode stages of echinococcus multilocularis are found in what animals

A

rodents and humans (liver, lungs, brain, other)

38
Q

contains thousands of brood capsules each containing hundreds of protoscolices

A

multilocular hydatid cyst of echinococcus multilocularis tapeworm

39

sheep coenurus tapeworm or gid bladderworm

A

taenia multiceps

40
Q

taenia multiceps metacestode is found where

A

brain/SC of sheep and goats. Metacestode is a coenurus (large fluid filled bladder with several hundred scolices)

41
Q

rabbit coenurus tapeworm or subcutaneous bladderworm

A

taenia serialis

42
Q

taenia serialis is metacestode is found where

A

SC and IM c.t. of the RABBIT, metacestode is a coenurus (fluid filled bladder with hundreds of scolices lined up into rows

43
Q

what is different from the coenurus of taenia serialis vs. taenia multiceps

A

scolices line up in rows

44
Q

which Taeniid tapeworms have 1 adult metacestode types

A

T. ovis, hydatigena, pisiformis (cysticercus metacestode)

spirometra mansonoides

will see black dots down middle

operculated eggs
ciliated coracidium
metacestode stages:

52
Q

Life cycle of spirometra mansonoides

A

adults in SI cat/dog
eggs passed in feces via uterine pore (operculated)
copepod eats coracidium
procercoid in copepod is eaten by frog, rate, stank
plerocercoid or sparganum encysts in muscels of 2IH and is eaten by DH

53
Q

plerocercoid that is encysted

A

sparganum (ie frog legs with sparganum cysts = pseudo tapeworms)

54
Q

is spirometra mansonoides zoonotic

A

yes, humans can eat infected copepod or if meat uses as a poultice (wtf, just don’t do that)

may see vitamin B12 deficiency
