is a sexual generation
mollusks
trematodes pathology
ATHOLOGY:
lesions
irritation
obstructions

immunologic like in the case of schistosomes
trematodes treatment
Praziquantel
Bithionol
has male and female reproductive system in one parasite
can do self-fertilization
MONOECIOUS/ HERMAPHRODITIC
they can self-fertilize, they usually infect organs, they are
food-borne.
MONOECIOUS/ HERMAPHRODITIC
parasite that reproduce via separate sexes .
DIOECIOUS/ BLOOD FLUKES
infect by direct penetration
DIOECIOUS/ BLOOD FLUKES
Digestive System
o Incomplete: They have a mouth but they don’t have
anus
DIOECIOUS/ BLOOD FLUKES
DIOECIOUS/ BLOOD FLUKES
Primarily for digestion
ceca
DIOECIOUS/ BLOOD FLUKES
Gastrodermal cells secrete proteases,
lipases, ACP, ALP & esterases
Ceca
dioecious: Undigested wastes are -_____ into the mouth
regurgitated
this are specialized excretory cells
which functions like a kidney in which they remove
waste materials
flame cells
d the bundle of flame cells or
group of flame cells is called
protonephridia
Trematodes: Flask-shaped with a tuff of fused flagella
excretory system
Trematodes: nervous system:
Larval forms have ___ and ___ adapted to finding the snail or
mollusk that serves as intermediate host that is
important for their life cycle
chemoreceptors and
photoreceptors
Trematodes:
play an important role in
recognizing the host
chemoreceptors
The chemoreception plays an important role in the
free living ____ stage?
miracidial larval stage
help them to perceive light
photoreceptors
trematodes reproductive system
monoecious
TREMATODES ARE HETEROXENOUS or homoxenous?
heteroxenous
4 orders:
fasciolids and echinostomes
Echinostomatiformes
4 orders:
Blood flukes
strigeiformes
4 orders:
: opisthorchis, chlonorchis, heterophyes
Opisthorchiformes
4 orders:
lung flukes
plagiorchiformes
plagiochirmformes consist of?
lung flukes
opistorchiformes consists of?
opistorchis, chlonorchis, heterophyes
strigeiformes consist of
blood flukes
echinostomatiformes consist of
fasciolids and echinostomes
include
all trematodes except those belonging to the genus
Schistosoma. Those resides the in the intestines,
bile ducts or lungs, these are called the
organ dwelling flukes
flukes consist
of the Schistosoma spp. It resides in the blood
vessels around intestine or bladder
blood dwelling flukes
following penetration of Cercaria into the
skin, this typically happens when an
unsuspecting human would usually swim
in contaminated water because note that
the Cercaria can penetrate the skin
blood dwelling flukes
can cercaria penetrate the skin?
yes
monoeicious flukes:
what stage encyt in the skin or flesh of fresh
water fish
free swimming cercariae
what stage are ingested by
human host
metacariae
monoecious flukes encyst in ?
duodenum
monoecious flukes adult is in?
biliary duct
a ciliated embryo that hatches in water
MIRACIDIUM
would escape from the egg shell usually through the operculum into
the environment
miracidium
is elongated and covered with flattened ciliated epidermal plates this
usually arises from the ova and penetrate from the first intermediate
host
miracidium
s are elongated sacs that produces more
Sporocysts or Rediae.
sporocysts
Develops from a miracidium in the 1st IH
mother sporocyts
sac like structure with germ cell that would usually proliferate
mother sporocyts
it lacks a gut and gives rise asexually to daughter sporocysts or
rediae
mother sporocyts
sac-like, having an oral sucker, a pore & pharynx
REDIAE (REDIA)/DAUGHTER SPOROCYSTS
would usually develop in 1st intermediate host
. REDIAE (REDIA)/DAUGHTER SPOROCYSTS
The larval form of trematode
cercaria
It develops within the germinal cells of the sporocysts/redia
cercaria
Has a tapering head with a large penetration glands
cercaria
t may or may not have a long swimming tail or it may have a
fork-tail appendage for free swimming depending on the
specie
cercaria
Arises from the 1st intermediate host and penetrates the 2nd
intermediate host
