  • sulfer colored d+ in turkeys bc infection of liver
  • chickens cecal lesions
  • called blackhead?
28

    order- muscoflagellates
    family- diplomonadida
29

31
Q

giardia taxnomy

A
  • kingdom- protozoa
  • class- excavata
    order- muscoflagellates
    family- diplomonadida
32
Q

giardia hosts

A
  • fish
  • amphibia
  • birds
  • mammals
33
Q

giardia lifecycle

A
  • Cyst in external environ -> ingested by vertebrate -> Excystation in small intestines -> Multiply by binary fission -> Trophozoite stays in mucosa or becomes cyst -> Excreted as cyst which cont cycle or trophozoite which disintegrates
34
Q

giardia id

A
  • 2 nuclei

- 6 anterior and 2 posterior flagella

35
Q

giardia transmisssion

A
  • cyst is stage passed from host to host (monotonous lifecycle)
  • Ingestion of cysts in contaminated water, food, or by contact w/ infected individuals or fomites
36
Q

giardia organ affected

A

small intestine vertebrates

37
Q

giardia trophozoite form transmission

A
  • Trophpo-zoites passed in stool but do not survive in environ
38
Q

giardia trophozoite form motility

A

Trophpzoite form swim around attached to mucosa by sucking discs on bottom & use flagella to pump out water so stick better

39
Q

giardia cysts special characteristics

A

Glycoproteins that come out & bubble to surface forming open meshwork cyst instead of hard cyst that lasts years

40
Q

naegleria taxonomy
