B. Tegument is covered with double-spaced spines
C. Vitellaria is extensively branched
D. Ovaries are anterior to the testes

stylet
Adult Paragonimus flukes are found in twos or threes within ___ in lungs
fibrotic capsules/cysts
The eggs are excreted \_\_\_\_ in the sputum, or are swallowed and passed with stool. A. embryonated B. unembryonated C. either A or B
B
genus of Paragonimus first intermediate host
Antemelania (Snail)
Which does not happen inside Antemelania? A. development into miracidia B. development into sporocyst C. development into redia D. development into cercaria
A
Item A happens before it enters Antemelania
second intermediate host of Paragonimus - identify genus
Sundathelphusa sp (crab)
Which happens inside Sundathelphusa? A. development into miracidia B. development into sporocyst C. development into cercaria D. development into metacercaria
D
infective stage of Paragonimus
metacercariae @ crab
diagnostic stage of Paragonimus
unembryonated egg @ sputum/feces
Which substances are in-charge of this pathogenesis:
metacercariae penetration through the intestinal wall –> abdominal wall –>peritoneal cavity –> diaphragm –> lungs –> encapsulated –> adults
cysteine proteases
The worms can also reach other organs and tissues,
such as the brain and striated muscles, respectively.
When they eggs here, the life cycle is complete. T or F?
F
When this takes place completion of the life
cycles is not achieved, because the eggs laid cannot
exit these sites.
Which is not a clinical manifestation of paragonimiasis? A. Generalized or localized fibrosis B. Cystic constriction of bronchi C. Persistent pneumonia D. Tubercule-like abscesses
B
dilation dapat
