Tapeworms Flashcards
Known as Pseudotapeworms
Order Cotyloda or Pseudophyllidea
Know as the true tapeworms
Order Eucestoda or Cyclophyllidea
egg shedding of pseudophyllidae is through
uterine pore
organ of attachment of cyclophyllidea
suckers and rostellum
structures that develop once the uterus disappers by degeneration
paruterine organs
present in the integument which is the primary organ for absorption of food
microtriches
organ of attachment of pseudophyllidea
bothria
a fully embyronated egg of cestodes cotain
oncosphere
the metameric repetition of reproductive organs
proglottidization
it is an hexacanth embryo with 3 hook pairs found at the center of a fully developed cestode egg
oncosphere
egg hatching affected by environment stimulus
Diphyllobothrium latum
this structure assumes the function of the uterus
paruterine organs
egg hatching affected by mechanical action
anoplocephala
egg hatching affected by digestive enzymes of hosts
taenia
eggs are covered with materials derived from the parenchyma
egg pouches
what is the infective larval form of tapeworms
metacestode
the first metacestode stage of pseudophyliids
procercoid
eggs are covered or protected with material derived from the uterus
egg capsule
the infective stage to the first intermediate host of cestode infection
oncosphere
occurs in the 2nd IH host of pseudophyllids, elongate, solid bodied and bears an adult scolex
plerocercoid
single evaginated scolex embedded in a small solid cyst, found in the small IH such as arthropods
cysticercoid
single scolex invaginated into itself in a large, fluid containing vesicle or bladder
cysticercus
solid bodied with hooks on the cercomer in the posterior region
procercoid
single colex evaginated and attached to the cyst by a chain of asexual proglottids digested away after ingestion by final host
strobilocercus
large, fluid containing bladder lined with a germinal epithelium producing a number of invaginated scolices
coenurus
large, fluid containing cyst with a laminated cuticular wall lined with a parenchymal inner layer
hydatid
