Q

Important for Cryptosporidiosis

A
  • Autoinfection
  • IC but extracytoplasmic
  • Kinyoun staining: red (thick wall) and white (thin wall) are the oocysts, with blue background (good for small parasites).
25
Q

Coccidiosis life cycle

A
  1. Oocyst swallowed by animal and goes into gut.
  2. O. release sporocysts which release sporozoites which invade gut cells and build Scizonts w. trophozoites inside –> Schizogony/Merogony
  3. Schizonts release MZ which infect new gut cells.
  4. MZ Build macrogamonts (female) and microgamonts (male) sperms - Miro goes over to Macro –> Gametogony
  5. Grows zygot and black cell nucleus
  6. Zygot becomes oocyst. Younger oocyst builds wall (protein).
  7. Free unsporulated oocyst is shredded in faeces.
