Trematodes Flashcards
All of these are the snail intermediate hosts of S. mansoni except
a. Oncomelania spp.
b. Planorbis spp.
c. Australorbis spp.
d. Biomphalaria spp.
A. Oncomelania
Oncomelania is the snail I.H for S. japonicum
Other important definitive host of Echinostoma other than humans
Migratory bird
In areas of high prevalence of schistosomiasis, what method is used to reduce morbidity and remains the main control stretegy in the PH?
Mass Chemotherapy
Smallest among blood flukes
S. japonicum
Epigastric pain, nausea &
diarrhea are experienced, especially in the morning
F. buski
Factors that influence the infection of snails BY MIRACIDIA include the following except:
a. age of snails and the miracidia
b. number of miracidia per snail
c. water flow and turbulence
d. length of contact time
NOTC
Chinese vase egg
Paragonimus westermani
This schistosome has inconspicuous/rudimentary
lateral spine/knob
S. japonicum
Parasites with freshwater fish as the 2nd I.H except:
a. Heterophyid flukes
b. Clonorchis sinensis
c. Opistorchis viverrini
d. NOTC
NOTC
How many hours can cercariae survive after release?
24 hours
corresponding to the period from cercarial penetration and schistosomular migration to the time of the flukes mature
incubation
Two general strategies for snail control are:
Focal and Area-Wide
F. buski eggs resemble Fasciola eggs under microscope so, they must be reported as
Fasciolid
Discovered by Philip Garrison
among prisoners of the Bilibid
Prison in Manila,
Echinostoma
spindloid flukes; old electrical light bulb shaped egg shape with one knob at opposite end of operculum; light yellowish-brown shell;
C. sinensis
2nd I.H of Heterophyid flukes
Fishes
✓BALANAK – Mugil spp.
✓TILAPIA – Tilapia spp.
✓KANDULI – Arius manilensis
Snail intermediate host of S. haematobium
Phyopsis spp.
Bulinus spp.
Biomphalaria spp.
Remember: PBB
How many days do schistosomes embryonate and form paired adult worms?
10-12 days
play an important role in the development of young parasites because of their involvement in the metacercarial excystment, tissue invasion, and immune modulation of the host
Cysteine proteases
Common in Sorsogon; often times
misdiagnosed w/ Tuberculosis
Lung fluke (P. westermani)
Specific habitat of S. japonicum
Superior mesenteric vein
Completion of the development of P. westermani in the human body takes how many days?
65-90 days
Added in sputum for paragonimus ova detection which aids for the viscosity
3% NaOH
The only intermediate host of trematodes known to human
Snail
Infective stage of Intestinal flukes
Metacercariae
Standard diagnosis for Blood flukes
Stool examination and rectal imprint (biopsy)
Stages that occurs inside the tissues of the 1st I.H snail except:
a. Miracidia
b. Sporocyst
c. Cercariae
d. NOTC
a. Miracidia
Miracidia is the 1st larva stage that emerges from the egg in FRESHWATER
egg is
larger, golden brown, operculated
A. malayanum
Males have gynecophoral
canal/grooves (where female is held)
Schistosomes
Snail intermediate host of S. haematobium
Phyopsis spp.
Bulinus spp.
Biomphalaria spp.
Remember: PBB
Systemic hypersensitivity reaction to the schistosomulum
migrating through tissue
Katayam disease/Katayama fever/Snail fever
Kahol & Susong pampang are the 2nd snail I.H of this parasite
E. ilocanum
Most important trematode of man because of severity of infection
Schistosomes
oval. thick shelled, yellowish-brown egg, and has a flattened but prominent operculum which has a thickened abopercular portion on the opposite side
P. westermani
How many weeks do F. buski eggs embryonate in water to release miracidium?
3-7 weeks
The only blood fluke that can be diagnosed with urine
Schistosoma haematobium
Intermediate host of S.mansonis
(Snail)
Biomphalaria spp.
Australorbis spp.
Tropicorbis spp.
Planorbis spp.
Best time for the release of cercariae
Early evening to midnight
egg is straw
colored, ovoid
E. ilocanum
Sheep liver fluke
F. hepatica
Hepoptysis is the most common infection of:
Paragonimiasis (P. westermani)
Sporocysts are able to reproduce asexually and can later give rise to free swimming cercariae after how many days?
60-70 days
sample of choice for Shistosomes
Urine, Stool
Trematode w/ similar egg feature w/ cestode’s D.latum
P. westermani
2nd I.H of the oriental lung fluke
Crabs or crayfish
Mode of transmission of F. buski
ingestion of encysted metacercaria from AQUATIC PLANTS
dermatitis due to skin penetration of cercariae from birds &other mammals; common infection from blood flukes
Swimmer’s Itch
Snail intermediate host of S. haematobium
Phyopsis spp.
Bulinus spp.
Biomphalaria spp.
Remember: PBB
