Q

Sparganosis features

A

Plerocercoids cause disease in humans, dogs and others.

Contracted by:

  • ingesting copepod IH with procercoids -> migrate through intestinal wall and develop into plerocercoids which multiply in muscle fascia.
  • Ingesting poorly cooked or smoked meat containing plerocercoid stages
  • when frog flesh is used to treat eye disease in China

17
Q

Proglottids of Dipylidium caninum

A

Cucumber shaped

Have to reproductive sets

18
Q

What species does this egg come from?

A

Dipylidium caninum

19
Q

What species does this egg come from?

A

Anoplocephala

20
Q

Anoplocephala perfoliata lifecycle stages

A

Egg (thick-shelled: rugged) -> oncosphere-> cysticercoid (oribatid mite) -> Adult (horse)

21
Q

Prevalence of Anoplocephala perfoliata

Where are they found in the horse?

A

30-40% in Vic but increasing as Ivermectin and oth MLs not effective against cestodes.

Found in the ileocaecal junction and caecum

22
Q

Effects of Anoplocephala perfoliata

A
  • severe lesions at ileocaecal junction (ulceration, diphtheresis and thickening of mucosa, submucosa and lamina propria)
  • can lead to colic and or ileocaecal intussusception
  • worms physically block the iliocaecal junction
23
Q

Features of Anoplocephala perfoliata

  • length
  • Number of suckers on scolex
  • segment dimensions
A
  • 1-3cm long
  • no rostellum
  • 4 suckers on scolex
  • lappet under suckers (diagnostic)
  • segments are wider than they are long
24
Q

Treatment of Anoplocephala perfoliata

A

praziquantel, pyrantel

25
Q

Transmission of Anoplocephala perfoliata

A

Orbatid mite ingested on grass. Most common in the summer months. Control in early spring to stop the eggs getting onto the pasture

26
Q

Non Taeniid cestode of ruminants

A

Moniezia spp

27
Q

Moniezzia lifecycle stages

A

Egg -> oncosphere -> cysticercoid (orbatic mite) -> adult (sheep and cattle)

28
Q

Proglottids of Moniezia

A
  • segments wider than they are long
  • have secretory glands running between segments
29
Q

Sheep Moniezia features

A

Moniezia expansa (also in cattle)

  • 3-6m long
  • interproglottal glands spread out
30
Q

Cattle Moniezia

A

Moniezia benedeni (also sheep)

  • 3m long
  • interproglottidal glands in a short row close to the mid line
31
Q

PPP of Moniezia

32
Q

Hymenolepis worms

DH and IH

A

Hymenolepis carioca (poultry)

Hymenolepis nana

Hymenolepis diminuta

  • commonly infect humans and rodent
  • IH are arthropods
33
Q

General features of Hymenolepis

A
  • unilateral genital pore
  • rostellum with single row of hooks
  • 1-4 testes
34
Q

Non taeniid cestodes of birds

What is the IH?

Which have pathogenic adults*

A

Choanotaenia (arthropods)

Amoebotaenia (earthworms)

Raillietina* (arthropods)

Davainea* (slugs)

35
Q

Raillietina pathogenesis

A

cause enteritis

Raillietina echinobothrida produces nodules.

36
Q

Davainea pathogenesis

A
  • very pathogenic causing marked enteritis.
  • in duodenum of fowls and pigeons
  • common in Aus
37

Scolex in larval Pseudophyllidea

A

same as adults

38
Q

Scolex in Non taeniid cyclophyllidea larva
