protozoan parasites lab tite Flashcards
Trophozoites of entamoeba histolytica have the following chartacteristics?
-Small delicate nuclear karyosomal chromatin
- fine peripheral chromatin
- progressive motility with hyaline, fingerlike pseudopods
Adherence to the intestinal mucosa of G. Lamblia is achieved by the
Ventral sucking disc
The largest protozoan that infects humans
Balantidium Coli
what makes the Trophozoite of Balantidium coli. distinct
Merong Cilia lods
The commensal has a pear-shaped trophozoite with three anterior flagella, a nucleus and a prominent shepherd’s crook-like cytostome
chilomastix mesnili
specimen used routinely in the detection of T. vaginalis
Vaginal discharge/peripheral discharge
Fresh specimens are mandatory for the recovery of
motile trophozoites
formed stool
protozoan cyst and helminth egg
If stool is standing for longer than 30 min
Trophozoite will lose motility and get destroye3d

ectoplasm
Consists of organelle, nutrients, glycogen, very refractile, metabolic processes
