Trypanosoma and Leishmania Flashcards
Leishsmania species forms of flagella
amastigote, promastigote
Trypanosoma brucei forms of flagella
epimastigote, trypomastigote
Trypanosoma cruzi forms of flagella
All four forms
Trypanosoma are majorly transmitted through?
blood feeding invertebrates
Genera and species of Nannomonas
T. congolense, T. simiae
genera and species of duttonela
T. vivax
Genera and species of Megatrypanum
T. theileri, T. melophagium
Genera and species of trypanozoon
T. brucei brucei, T. b. gambiense, T. b. rhodesiense, T. b. equinum, T. b. evansi, T. b. equiperdum
Trypanosoma form with very short flagellum projecting only slightly beyond the flagellar pocket
Amastigote (Leishmanial)
Trypanosomal form with elongated body with flagellum extending forwards as a functional organelle, its kinetosome and kinetoplast are located in front of the nucleus near the anterior end of the body
promastigote (leptomonad)
trypanosomal form with kinetoplast and kinetosome are still located between nucleus and anterior end but a short undulating membrane lies along the proximal part of flagellum
epimastigote (crithidial)
kinetoplast and kinetosome are near the posterior end of the body and flagella runs along the surface
trypomastigote (trypanosome)
2 broad groups of trypanosomes
hemoflagellates, mucoflagellates
trypanosomes developing at anterior portion of the digestive tract
salivaria
Salivaria trypanosomes
T. brucei, T. evansi, T. congolense, T. vivax
trypanosomes developing ath the vector’s hindgut or posterior station
stercoraria
Stercoraria trypanosomes
T. cruzi, T. lewisi, T. theileri, T. melophagium, T. canorini
Trypanosomes which do not require development in the I.H.
T. equiperdum, T. equinum
What are the modes of transmissions of trypanosomes
Cyclical, Non cyclical, Coitus, Transplacental, Ingestion of fresh carcass of infected animal
trypanosomal specie represents the ancestral form
T. brucei brucei
2 stages of life cylce of T. brucei
epimastigotes, trypomastigote
causes Africal Animal Trypanosomiasis but non pathogenic to humans
T. brucei brucei
T. b. brucei resides in?
blood, lymph nodes, spleen, csf
horses, mules, donkey and dogs suffer acutely and may die in 15 days, symptoms are anemia, edema, watery eyes and nose, fever, dogs will suffer blindness
Nagana (AAT)
parasitic in the bloodstream of sheep, goats, cattle, horses, pigs, and dogs may also be infected but cattle most important
Trypomastigotes
most common drug used for trypomastigotes infection
berenil
vectors of T. b. gambiense and rhodesiense
Glossina palpalis, G. morsitans
Causes HAT or sleeping sickness
T. b. gambiense, T. b. rhodesiense
reservoir host of T. b. gambiense
goats, cattle, pigs
reservoir host of T. b. rhodesiense
wild game animals
T. b. gambiense is transmitted by
G. palpalis
T. b. rhodesiense is transmitted by
G. morsitans
pathogenesis of HAT iwhere metacyclic trypanosomes are inoculated
chancre
known as the swollen and congested lymp nodes at neck, groin, legs in cases of HAT
winterbottom’s sign
causes rapid weight loss and heart involvement in case of HAT
T. b. rhodesiense
it invades the CNS initiating the chronic, sleeping sickness stage of infection
T. b. gambiense
drugs useful for sleeping sickness
Melarsoprol, Suramin
causes nagana diseases which is fatal in cattle and other domestic animals as well as wild ruminants
Trypanosoma congolense
vectors of T. congolense
biting flies, glossina
clinical signs of nagana
severe anemia with no immature RBC
causes souma that affects the blood of ruminnats and wild game animals are reservoirs
Trypanosoma vivax
clinical signs of vivax
mucosal and serosal hemorrhages in the body, anemia
vectors of trypanosoma theileri
Biting flies, tabanus, haematopota
affects blood of large ruminants with 65% prevalence in cattle and carabao of the Philippines
trypanosoma theileri
it may interfere with the diagnosis of surra and associated with turning sickness in Uganda
T. theileri
other names of Surra in S. America
Mal de caderas, derrengadera
other names of surra in M. E., Africa, Gufar
El debab
surra is known to the Philippines as?
bayawak
etioligic agents of surra
trypanosoma evansi
