49
Q

Identify with Scientific and Common Names

Species: Ruminant

Size: 70-120 um

A

Gastrointestinal Nematode “GIN or Trichostrongyle”

50
Q

There are only 2 Porcine parasites that we covered that are Zoonotic. What are they? How are they transmitted?

A

Ascaris suum “Pig roundworm” = ingestion of eggs

Macracanthorhynchus hirudinaceus “Thorny headed worm” = ingestion of Intermediate Host (Dung Beetle)

51
Q

What are 3 physical differences between Ixodid and Argasid ticks?

A
  1. Ixodid ticks have a shield which makes them Hard ticks, while Argasid ticks have no shield and are considered soft with a leathery texture
  2. Ixodid ticks have visible heads while Argasid ticks heads do not extend past their bodies
  3. Ixodid ticks can have a Festoon (perimeter shield) while Argasid ticks do not
52
Q

Describe the larval migration pattern of Oestrus ovis (Nose bot)

A

Eggs are laid in the nasal area. Larvae migrate up the nasal passage into the sinuses where they mature. They then migrate back down to the nasal opening where they are sneezed out. In the envirnment they pupate, hatch and emerge as adults

53
Q

Describe the larval migration pattern of Hypoderma bovis/lineatum (Warble fly)

A

Eggs are laid on the hair follicles. After a few days they hatch and the larvae penetrate the skin and enter the body. They migrate toward the dorsal aspect of the animal near the spinal cord where they get into the subcutaneous layer of the skin until they pupate (causing “warbles” or swelling in the skin) where they hatch and the fly exits through the skin.

*Less commonly larvae can be ingested and migrate to the trachea where they are coughed up and swallowed*

54
Q

Describe the larval pattern of the Gastrophilus intestinalis/nasalis or Bots

A

Eggs hatch due to either stimulation or spontaneously, and the larvae penetrate the buccal cavity and migrate to the stomach. They attach to stomach lining where they mature and detach, exiting the host through feces. Once they exit they pupate and hatch as adults
