Visceral Flukes Flashcards
Fasciola is common in? And sometimes found in
Sheep. Humans
Fasciola reside in
Gall Bladder and bile ducts in the Liver
Cephalic Cone
Cone shaped projection on Fasciola anterior end
Where is the oral sucker located on Fasciola
End of cephalic cone
Fasciola oral vs ventral sucker sizes
Almost equal
Fasciola shape of testes and caecum
Branched
Location of Fasciola Uterus
Anteriorly
Fasciola eggs pass through
Out liver into intestine, expelled through feces
Fasciola Embryonated or Unembryonated
Unembryonated
Unembryonated Eggs Miracidium hatches where
In water
Fasciola Eggs development into miracidiun
Eggs in water hatch in 9-10 days
Fasciola have 24hrs to
Find a snail host or die
Fasciola miracidium upon penetrating snails
Metamorphoses into Sporocyst giving rise to Mother Rediae, which can give rise to Daughter Rediae
Fasciola Redia Brood Chambers
Germ balls develop into cercaria
Fasciola infected snails morphology
Stunted and shell distortion
Fasciola cercaria emerge from snail time
5-7 weeks after infection
Fasciola infected snails in dried water
Snail burrow into mud, survive infected for months. Water comes and snails emerge and shed many cercaria rapidly with simple tail twice its body length
Fasciola cercaria look for
Aquatic objects, plants
Fasciola cercaria on plants
Encyst into metacercaria which sheep/cattle eat
Humans become infected by Fasciola how
Humans eat Metacercaria infected plants
Fasciola juveniles path
Excuse in duodenum, penetrate intestinal wall, travel to liver
Fasciola juvenile sexual maturity
12 weeks in liver where they feed and reach sex m.
Fascioliasis
Fasciola disease caused by worms migration and presence in bile ducts
Fasciola damage from migration
Larvae migration to bile ducts cause damage and Eosinophilic Inflammation to Hepatic Parenchyma
Fasciola damage residing
In bile ducts cause Hyperplasia of Biliary Epithelium and hardening of biliary wall ducts
Acute Fascioliasis cause
Seen in sheep only. ingestion of more than 10k metacercariae at once
Large number of migrating Fasciola results in
Traumatic Hepatitis, leading to death
Fascioliasis in humans
Head/backache, nausea, coughing, vomiting, fever, abdominal pain
Adult Fasciola cause
Block bile ducts causing Obstructive Jaundice
Life span of Adult Fasciola in humans
5-10years
ID of Fasciola
Eggs in feces
Fasciola Treatment
Oral Bithionol and Praziquantel for 2 weeks
Fasciola Animals infections affect the world by
Economic losses in production of wool, milk, and meat
Fasciola Control/Prevention
Sheep/cattle feces should not be allowed aquatic regions. Snail pops monitored
Clonorchis sinensis types of eggs
Embryonated
Clonorchis sinensis strength of suckers
Weakly developed
Clonorchis sinensis Male Reproductive system
2 Testes and Seminal Vesicle leading to Genital Pore
Clonorchis sinensis Female Reproductive system
Small Ovary. Vitellaria, Gravid Uterus extending From ovary to Genital Pore
Clonorchis sinensis live where
Bile ducts
Clonorchis sinensis excyst where
Duodenum and migrate to common bile duce
Fasciola vs Clonorchis sinensis
Clonorchis sinensis does not invade liver tissue or lays liver necrosis. Can lead to adenocarcinoma (cancer of bile ducts)
Clonorchis sinensis Treatment
Praziquantel or Albendazole
Clonorchis sinensis Control/Prevention
Treatment of feces before using as fertilizer, cooking fish
Opisthorchis infect
Bile ducts of fish-eating mammals
Opisthorchis vs Clonorchis
O. are smaller, testis shape is different
Opisthorchis disease
Opisthorchiasis
Opisthorchiasis Symtoms
Diarrhea and Liver Englargments
Opisthorchis Diagnosis/Treatment
Similar to Clonorchis
Clonorchis disease
Clonorchiasis
Clonorchis ID
Eggs in feces, ERCP, Imaging
Opisthorchis 2 species
O. felineus( prominent in Europe, Viet, India, Japan, Caribbean). O. viverrini (Smaller and in Thailand Laos Southeast Asia)
Fasciolopsis buski similar to
Fasciola hepatica
Fasciolopsis buski vs Fasciola hepatica
Fb.
- Lack caeca branches
- Larger Ventral sucker than Oral
- No Cephalic Cone
- Reside in small intestine not liver
Fasciolopsis buski eggs pass
Through feces unembryonated
