Protista 5 Flashcards
apicomplexa aconoidasida
blood transmission associated apicomplexa
piroplasmin taxonomy
kingdom- protistis
phylum- Apicomplexa
class- Aconoidasida
order- piroplasmin
apicomplexa aconoidasida life cycle
sexual conjugation in stomach of tick and sporozoites generated in salivary glands
apicompelxa aconidasida transmission
transmitted by feeding iodide ticks
piroplasmin lifecycle
- meronts, merozoites, gamonts in vertebrate host
babesia taxonomy
kingdom- protistis phylum- Apicomplexa class- Aconoidasida order- piroplasmin family- Babesiidae genus- babesia
babesia hosts
vertebreate
babesia lifecycle
- sexual conjugation in intestinal lumen of tick
- sporogony in epithelium of tick intestinal wall
babesia transmission
- transovarial
- Sporozoites multiply in ovary of female tick thus infecting the larva that hatch from eggs
- Sporozoites in tick saliva transmitted when it bites
babesia organ/ cell effected
parasite of erythrocytes
babesia bigemina taxonomy
kingdom- protistis phylum- Apicomplexa class- Aconoidasida order- piroplasmin family- Babesiidae genus- babesia
babesia bigemina host
cows
babesia lifecycle detailed
- Sporozoites released from tick salivary gland -> Invade erythrocytes -> Become trophozoites -> Pair of merozoites made -> Female tick bloodmeal ingests infected erythrocytes & syngamy in tick gut -> Penetrate gut epithelium & produce merozoites -> Undergo secondary merogony & find their way into ova -> Oviposition constitutes infected eggs -> Replication in gut of infected larva -> Invade salivary glands & sporogony to produce sporozoites
babesia bigemina transmission
rhipicephalus annulatus and microplus
babesia bigemina organ/ cell effected
erythrocytes
babesia bigemina dx
- bovine piroplasmosis (texas fever) -> fever, pyrexia, hemoglobinuria, anemia, icterus, splenomegally
babesia bigemina location
once endemic in south
babesia bigemina suceptiblity
greater susceptibility in older cattle
babesia bigemina removal from south
cattle dipping campaign to remove it from south
babesia divergens taxonomy
kingdom- protistis phylum- Apicomplexa class- Aconoidasida order- piroplasmin family- Babesiidae genus- babesia
babesia divergens host
cattle
babesia divergens transmission organism
- ixodes ricinus
- tick infected as adult female
babesia divergens transmission route
- transovarial
- transstadial from larva to nymph to adult so all stages can transmit dx
babesia divergens organ/ cell effected
erythrocyte
babesia divergens location
europe

babesia canis organ/ cell infected
found in pairs in erythrocytes
babesia canis dx
- major diagnostic feature is anemia
- anorexia and lethargy
babesia canis location
- cosmopolitan europe
babesia canis diagonsis
diagnosis by demonstrating trophozoites in erythrocytes
babesia gibsoni taxonomy
