Midterm III (helminthology) (Cestodes) Flashcards
- Moniezia benedeni*
- -* each proglottis has two sets of genitals which open on both sides
- Anoplocephala perfoliata*
- each proglottis has one set of genitalis which all open on the same side
- testicles are scattered as small pale spots on the opposite side
- Moniezia benedeni* egg
- Quadrilateral egg shape
- oncosphaera is eccentric
- Moniezia expansa* egg
- triangular egg shape
- oncospharea is usually central
- Anoplocephala perfoliata* egg
- semicircular shape
contains 6 hooked oncosphera inside
- Dipylidium caninum* (cucumber/ flea tapeworm) mature segment
- genital openings on both sides
- 2 ovaries in the centre
- testicles fill the central part of the proglottis
- Dipylidium spp.* cocoon
- oncospheres fill the centre
- Diphyllobothrium latum* (broad/ fish tapeworm) scolex
- longitudinal, oval slit (Bothridium)
- Diphyllobothrium latum* (broad/ fish tapeworm) Proglottis
- 1 set of gentialia
genital openings in the midline
- Diphyllobothrium spp.* eggs
- resemble the reatures of trematode eggs
- no oncosphere
- Taenia spp. scolex*
- strong hooks on the rostellum*
- impressions of 2 suckers*
- taenia spp.*: proglottis
- genital organs open on each side in irregular alternating positions
- taenia spp.* mature segment
- mass of scattered testicles
- two longitudinal excretory canals
- 2 genital ducts parallel to the genital opening
- taenia spp.* Gravid segment
- branches of uterus are filled with white eggs
- Taenia spp.* egg
- thick refrective eggshell
- six hooked oncosphere (not all hooks are visible)
- colour: white-brown
Taenia spp. cystericus larva
liver tissue
- you can tell it snt echinococcus because there is no surrounding CT
Taenia spp. cysticerci
cut surface of skeletal muscle
taenia multiceps
coenurus larvae
- echinococcus granulosus*
- scolex with rostellum and suckers
- Short neck
- immature segment and mature segment
- Gravid segment
- centrally aggregated eggs
- echinococcus hydatidosus*
- spherical protoscolicies attached to the wall of inner broad capsules
protoscolex of echinococcus granulosus
- the number of hooks is equal to the number of hooks on the adult’s scolex
- Echinococcus multiocularis*: cavernous structure
- sterile larvae not containing any protosolices
what is the difference between cysticercus psisiformis & echinococcus interlocularis in necropsy?
cysticercus pisiformis: lesions appear on the liver
Echinococcus interlocularis: lesions appear inside the liver
dipyldium caninum
Dipylidium caninum: dried segments
anoplocephala perfoliata
moniezia expansa
mesocestoides spp.
anoplocephala perfoliata: worm
moniezia expansa
dipylidium caninum
anocephala perfoliata
cystericus bovis
cystericus pisiformis
note the lesions appear “on” the liver
