Male have Copulatory Bursa, and spicules.
Which go and hang on to female and transfer sperm to female.

Q

What stages do Caenorhabditis Elegans have?

A

They have four Juvenile stages (L1, L2, L3, Adult).
So after the egg they molt and then every stage of juvenile stage they Molt to become L1, L2, L3, Adult.
L3 is the most Infective Stage.
They are Oviparous. (Means they lay eggs)

Q

What is Advantages of having space (coelom)

A

1) Freedom of Movement:- Because of this space animal can grow very Larger. Aniamals who don’t have space they cannot grow Larger.
Better Circulation:- better circulation of waste, food materials or Oxygen.
2) Storage for waste.
3) Hydrostatic Pressure;- it allows the animal to move.
4) Space for Development.

Q

Sylvatic cycle between Ascaridae family roundworms?

A

It’s between Rabbit and Dogs.

32
Q

If person is infected with these Ascaridae family roundworms a lot?

A

Roundworms can come from Anus or Mouth

33
Q

Raccoon Roundworm?

A

Baylisascaris Procyonis.

34
Q

Raccoon Roundworm?

A

129 species of birds and mammals have been killed,
Humans are also infected,
But Raccoon show no sign of infection.

35
Q

Life cycle of Raccoon Roundworm?

A

Roundworm completes its cycle in Raccoon.

36
Q

Raccoon Roundworm cause?

A

It cause Visceral, Ocular, and Neural Larva Migrants in Host but not in Raccoon.
Females lay millions of eggs that are shed through Feces.

37
Q

Hookworms?

A

Necator Americans and Ancylostoma Dudenale.

38
Q

Hookworms have what structures?

A

Their mouthpart have Teeth and Cutting plates.

39
Q

Hookworms are what?

A

They are Voracious blood sucker.
When they cling on small intestine and they cut intestine with teeth’s so the blood comes out, and then they use the oxygen from the blood, they don’t ingest the blood they only need the oxygen from the blood,
That’s why we see blood in feces.

40
Q

How are hookworms related to civil war?

A

They say they lost the Civil war because soldiers were infected with Necator Americans and Ancylostoma Deudenale.
Because they were tired All the time.

41
Q

Hookworms for Dogs?

A

Ancylostoma Caninum

42
Q

Ancylostoma Caninum for human?

A

In human it cause Cutaneous Larva Migrants.

43
Q

How human become infected with Ancylostoma dudenale and Necator Americans?

A

Egg ➡️ L1, L2, L3,
(They are not in egg anymore, last one was in egg, this one is not, it’s a larva outside of egg)
Then L3 penetrates human skin when we go to water, then L3 in human become L4 and Adult.

44
Q

How human get Ancylostoma Caninum?

A

When L3 penetrates human skin, it realize that ohh 😮 it’s not Dog, it does become L4, and it wiggle around human skin and if we put Hydrocortisone on top of them and kill them
So, Cutaneous Lava migrants is not BAD
VISCERAL larva migrants is very bad.

45
Q

Trichinella Spiralis?

A

Cause Trichinosis disease.

46
Q

Epidemiology of Trichinella spiralis? (Toxoplasma Gondi)

A

💪They penetrates skeletal muscles cell and can become one of the largest intracellular parasites.
(So, they are in humans skeletal muscle, and can become very large)
💪 Juvenile can redirect gene expression of host cell musculature where cells lose striations and become a nurse cells to the parasites.
💪 Hogs can become infected when eating uncooked scraps of infected meet or by eating infected rats or their droppings

47
Q

What harm human in Trichinella spiralis?

A

The Larva stage of this parasite harm human. Adult of this organism does not cause harm in human. They are just copulating and putting on the eggs and egg is becoming the larva which is harming human.

48
Q

Life cycle of Trichinella spiralis?

A

Domestic life cycle:- 🐶🐱 Pigs, Rats, human

Sylvatic life cycle:- 🐻 Trichinella spiralis love diaphragm, when person eat Trichinella spiralis it go to diaphragm they multiply multiply and then diaphragm become so heavy that the breathing cannot occur and person die from suffocating.

49
Q

What they look in pig 🐷 for Trichinella spiralis?

A

In Germany they take a piece of diaphragm from pig and they look at it in Microscope.
In U.S they take blood 🩸 samples and they look for Antibody for pig,

That’s why European countries do NOT like to buy U.S pork. Poland still get U.S Pork but not Germany.

50
Q

Common name for Enterobius Vermicularis?

A

Pinworm

51
Q

Pinworm cause what?

A

They cause little or No disease,
And they are very small.

52
Q

Where do pinworm live?

A

They live in Large intestine

53
Q

What happens to male after copulation in pinworm?

A

Male die after Copulation.
Female die after Oviposition.(after laying eggs)

54
Q

Why do pinworm die?

A

Because these organisms do not have to live their host. The whole lifecycle can be completed inside of the host.
That’s why they lay eggs and die so they can make room for the young ones.

55
Q

Where do sometime pinworm lay eggs?

A

Sometimes female pinworm can come near anus and lay eggs, and then go back up and die.

56
Q

How is egg 🪺 of pinworm?

A

Flat from one side and curved from other.

57
Q

Where do pinworm complete their life cycle?

A

They complete their lifecycle inside the host and when they become too much inside the body they cause constipation.
Retroinfection mean:- animal complete their life cycle inside the host.

58
Q

What is the most common pinworm in U.S.A?

A

Enteronius vermicularis is most common one, but cause little disease.

59
Q

Common name for Trichuris Trichuris?

A

Whipworm

60
Q

Where is T.Trichuris common in?

A

It’s common in Appalachian Mountain.

61
Q

Does Trichuris Trichuris cause harm?

A

They cause little harm if numbers are low.

62
Q

What type of egg do Trichuris Trichuris have?

A

They have operculated eggs just like Clonorchis sinensis.

63
Q

What happens in high infection of Trichuris Trichuris?

A

It can cause prolapsed Rectum.

64
Q

Filarial worm?

A

Wuchereria Bancrofti (Elephantiasis) 🦟 Africa(Mountains⛰️)
Onchocerciasis volvulus (Onchocerciasis, River Blindness) 🪰 Africa(Mountains⛰️)
Dirofillaria Immitis (Dog Heart worm)🫀🐶😸 🦟All over the world 🌍

65
Q

Where do filarial worm live?

A

They live in Lymphatic system, so that’s why the obsorption of edema from blood vessels would be very difficult, so the fluid accumulates in our body.
It cause elephantiasis because Arms and legs are scrotum and by Accumulation of edema. Edema can accumulate and it can become like elephant feet.

66
Q

Filarial worms give birth to?

A

Female give birth to microfilaria L1,
L1, L2, L3 inside the misquito and then L3 is transmitted to Human, and then L3 becomes L4 and adult p, then male and female copulate and release L1. Then fly or mosquito comes take a blood meal from human and that’s how L1 and transmitted to fly from human.

67
Q

Fly that lives in Runny water is called? Life cycle of Onchocerca volvulus?

A

Simulium
Life cycle is on the running water 💦 .
The larva can go in the eye and make the person blind.
So, there is a Bactria in this organism which can cause blindness not the actual organism.

68
Q

Dirofillaria Immitis?

A

Usually there is only one male and one female they copulate and release Microfillaria L1 into the blood circulation of dog, and then mosquito 🦟 comes take a blood meal from dog take it to another dog or cat and that’s how it’s transmitted.
Human can also be infected, they remove it by doing surgery.
In dog they give them drug as Prophylactic( so if mosquito will come and take a blood meal nothing will happen)

69
Q

Guinea worm?

A

Dracunculus Medinensis

70
Q

Intermediate host from Guinea worm?

A

Copepod
Final host human.
It is crustaceans that happenes in contaminated water

71
Q

How to get infected with Guinea worm?

A

By drinking contaminated water.

72
Q

Life cycle of Guinea worm?

A

Human drink contaminated water that have copepods, inside of that copepod is L3 ➡️ L3 goes inside of our duct, female makes it way to the legs and come down 🦵, then if we put our feet in water, then the female worm can come out of legs to lay out the L1 into the water, ➡️ then L1 go find Copepod and become L2, L3 inside the copepod

73
Q

How many possibilities we can get Guinea worm🪱 ?

A

Worm is coming out the egg
Or he is drinking the contaminated water.

74
Q

When dracunculus Medinensis is coming out of the leg?

A

If if the worms break then the person can go into prophylactics shock and died. So it is very important to take the worm out without breaking.
Stick is the perfect way.

75
Q

A

Schistosomiasis
Malaria
Filariasis
Trypanosomiasis
Leishmaniasis & leprosy (is caused by bacteria and it cause disfiguration and death)
