Q

What is the life cycle of Paragonimus kellicotti?

A

DH ingests crayfish with mature metacercariae or PH
Excyst in SI, penetrates gut to peritoneal cavity to diaphragm to lungs
Form cysts in lung parenchyma; mature to adults
Egg pass from cyst to bronchi
Eggs coughed up and swallowed
Unembryonated eggs in feces
Miracidia hatch; penetrate aquatic snail
Cercariae emerge; enter crayfish
Metacercariae form

21
Q

How can Nanophyetus salmincola eggs be diagnosed?

A

Sedimentation/fecal flotation

22
Q

Do Nanophyetus spp cause human infections?

A

Yes, but it is rare

Cause “fish flu”

23
Q

What is the DH of Alaria spp?

A

Cats
Dogs
Wide range of carnivores

24
Q

What is the 1st IH of Alaria spp?

A

A

Tadpoles

26
Q

What is the PH of Alaria spp?

A

Frogs
Snakes
Mice
Mammals

27
Q

What is the site of Alaria spp in DH?

A

Small intestine or mammary glands in lactating cat

28
Q

What is the Alaria spp life cycle? *indicate bolded in lecture

A

DH ingests infected tadpole or PH with mesocercariae
Migration to diaphragm to lungsl develop into metacercariae; coughed up trachea, down esophagus to SI or in lactating cat: mesocercariae migrate to mammary gland
Developes to adults in SI or remain mesocercariae- transmammary (nursing kitten)
Unembryonate eggs in feces
Miracidia hatch; infect aquatic snail
Cercariae emerge in water
Cercariae penetrate tadpole; develop into mesocercariae

29
Q

What happens with transmammary transmission of Alaria spp in the lactating cat?

A

Mesocercariae migrate to mammary glands

30
Q

What is the pathology of Alaria spp in cat DH?

A

Attached to mucous membrane of SI
Usually little harm
Migratory tracts through lung

31
Q

How can you diagnose Alaria spp eggs?

A

Fecal sedimentation

32
Q

What Alaria species causes human infections?

A

Alaria americana

33
Q

What is Potomac Horse Fever?

A

Equine Neorickettsiosis

34
Q

What serves as a reservoir for Potomac Hose Fever?

A

Digenetic trematodes (Acanthatrium oregonense)

35

A

Bats

37
Q

What is the aaberrant hosts of Acanthatrium oregonense?

A

A

Canine schistosomiasis

43
Q

What is the life cycle of Heterobilharzia americana?

A

Embryonated eggs shed in feces
Miracidia hatch in waterl infect a lymnaeid snail
Cercariae emerge and penetrate the skin of DH
Migration through lungs to the liver
Mature to adults
Adults migrate through portal veins to mesenteric veins
Eggs migrate through mesenteric veins and intestinal wall to lumen of intestine

44
