test#2 platyhelminthes & protozoa Flashcards
cestoides
tapeworms
trematodes
flukes
indirect life cycles
- may involve one or more intermediate hosts
-bladderworms
-definitive host is infected by ingesting bladderworm inside an intermediate host
eucestoda
true tapeworms
cotyloda
pseudotapeworms
order eucestoda info
-segmented worms proglottids
-1st segment is the scolex
-has 2-4 acetabula (suckers may have hooks)
-some species have a rostellum
- the body is known as strobili( (segmented)
-unarmed scolex= lacking a rostellum
-mature proglottids along the body can mate with other proglottids of the same worm or can self-fertiize
eucestoda life cycle
-only gravid uterus is left..
-hexacanth embryo
-released in feces
- segments in environment are still living (often can move)
-dry up, crack, release eggs
pyriform apparatus type
egg with 3 coverings, the innermost is pear shaped
dipylidium
packet containing multiple hexacanths within one egg
taenia type
wide outer shell with a thicker outer covering & a 6 hooked hexacanth within the egg
pseudophyllidean type
ressemble the ancyclostoma egg, however it has an operculum at one end
what happens after the eggs are ingested by the intermediate host
-developinto metacestode (laval) stage
-this stage may be in the forrm of a :
~ cysticercoid
~ cysticercus
~ coenurus
~ hydatid cyst
~ tetrathyridium
-definitive host becomes infected after ingesting the intermediate host containing the larva
true tapeworms (4)
-dipylidium caninum
-taenia spp
-echinococcus spp
-mesocestoides
Pseudotapeworms (2)
-spirometra spp
-diphyllobothrium latum
dipylidium caninum : intermediate host
infect adult fleas in cysticercoid (metacestode stage)
Taenia ovis, Taenia pisiformis, Taenia hydatigena: intermediate host
rabbits or ruminants (depending on species)
what happens after a (Taenia ovis, Taenia pisiformis, Taenia hydatigena) larva
migrates outside of the digestive tract:
attach themselves to the greater omentum or abdominal organs and encapsulate themselves into a fluid-filled bladder (called a cysticercus)
Taenia taeniaeformis: intermediate host
rabbits or rodents
Echinococcus granulosusEchinococcus multicularis: intermediate host
ruminant, rodent, human (hydatid cyst disease)
granulosis
single,thick-capsuled cyst
multicularis
can have multiple cysts, thin membrane
