Trematodes intro Flashcards
all flukes are organ dwelling except for
genus schistosoma
Known as the FLUKES
TREAMATODES
One of which a parasitic flatworm
TREAMATODES
internal parasite of the mollusk and the vertebrae
TREAMATODES
complete lifecycle with at least 2 hosts
TREAMATODES
Primary host where the flukes sexually reproduce:
vertebrae
Leaf-shape
TREAMATODES
trematodes has outer cover called
tegument
trematodes tegument may be smooth or spiny except for
the
blood flukes
Body with holes
TREAMATODES
Bilaterally symmetrical helminths without a body cavity
(Acoelomate)
TREAMATODES
Incomplete digestive tracts
TREAMATODES
Large and fleshy
TREAMATODES/like fasciola and fasciolopsis
trematodes are what shaped
leaf shaped
trematodes:
Enveloped with integument consist of
spines, tubercles, ridges
trematode for attachment and secretion
Enveloped with integument
a form of attachement of trematodes
acetabulum
attachment of trematodes:
Cup shaped (usually found in the anterior part of the
trematode
Suckers
A saucer shaped organ of attachment in flatworms,
Acetabulum
A specialized sucker for parasitic adaptation in
trematodes, by which the worms where able to
attach on the host
Acetabulum
Has fluid -filled between organs
trematodes
no body cavity (acoelomate)
trematodes
Has oral cavity, lymphatics, excretory organs, primitive
nervous system, reproductive organs
trematodes
: In 1 worm, they both have the male and female organs
making them hermaphrodites (parasitic)
TREAMATODES/monoecious
trematodes Has 2 testes except for?
schistosomes
trematode testes is found in?
posterior half
trematode testes shape can either be?
can either be globular, lobate, tubular, dendritic
caplike polar operculum except for schistosomes
ova of trematodes
movement of trematodes?
contraction and elongation
trematodes maintains the position by
suckers
trematodes insoluble material
Regurgitated to the oral sucker
trematodes soluble material
Distributed by lymph
trematodes excretion
eliminated through flame cells
trematodes respiration
anaerobic except on its larval forms (aerobic)
trematodes reproduction
hermaphroditic
trematodes MOT:
o Intestinal (stool)
o Genitourinary
o Pulmonary (very rare when coughed out)
trematodes definitive host
Vertebrae
trematode intermediate host
mollusks
trematodes: these are important in the life cycle of which there
is a sexual generation
mollusks
trematodes pathology
ATHOLOGY:
lesions
irritation
obstructions
embolism
immunologic like in the case of schistosomes
trematodes treatment
Praziquantel
Bithionol
