GI system Trematode and Cestodes Flashcards
clonorchiasis
cause
clonorchis and opsthocris
human liver trematodes
clonorchiasis
epi (of each)
clonorchis-> Asia
opsthorchis-> Europe and Asia in humans and fish eating mammals
clonorchiasis
life cycle
they live in the bile duct and liver of mammals and release eggs
eggs ingested by snails and develop into cercaria-> penetrate fish
develop into metacercaria and we eat the fish
goes to intestine and bile
clonorchiasis
path
worms tunnel LIVER-> causing hyperplasia of epithelium
can also cause toxic irritation of liver and bile duct->- and thickening of bile duct walls -> causing fibrous thickening* obstruction or biliary cirrhosis
clonorchiasis
ss
fever anemia jaundice* edema ascites* abdominal pain indigestion malnutrition nausea and diarrhea
clonorchiasis
dx
mall thick shelled eggs with shoulders founded in stained fecal concentrations
clonorchiasis
tx
praziquantel
schistosomiasis
cause
schistosome species
trematodes that live in human blood vessels
schistosomiasis
epi
Africa Asia philipines and caribbean islands
human and mammal
schistosomiasis
life cycle
blood vessels
eggs released into blood stream and migrate to intestinal tract / urinary bladder
miracidia hatch in waterways and penetrate snails
in snails they develop into cercaria-> and are released into water back to humans (CERCARIA ARE THE INFECTIOUS FORM)
In humans after skin penetration they develop into schistosomula that enter the blood stream
schistosomiasis
path
avoidance of immunity
toxic irritation of the itssues
little tissue damage via adults bc they incorporate host antigens onto their surface-> so they aren’t recognized as foreign
schistosomiasis
ss
can cause?
enlarged fibroticc liver and spleen
dysuria urinary frequency abdominal pain hematuria ascites edema conjunctival granulomas
symptoms related to amount and location of eggs
can produce squamous cell epithelioma
schistosomiasis
dx
over percolated eggs with single spines that differ in their locations for each species
schistosomiasis
tx
praziquantel
fascioliasis
cause
fasciola hepatica - sheep liver fluke
fasciola giganti - giant liver trematode
fascioliasis
epi
hepatica- worldwide
giganti- herbiboes in africa asia and hawaii
both have humans and herbivores as reservoir and definitive hosts
fascioliasis
life cycle
they live in livers and eggs are released via poop
miracidia hatch in waterways and penetrate snails
in snails they develop into cercaria-> and are released into water
and turn into metacercaria
METACERCARIA ARE THE INFECTIOUS FORM)
we eat the raw plants and metacercaria penetrate our intestines
fascioliasis
path
adult worms destroy liver and infect other organs
cause mechanical and toxic irritation* in liver and cause obstruction and fibrosis*
fascioliasis
ss
fever chills night sweats headache anorexia malaise
wt loss urticaria eosinophilia
fascioliasis
dx
large thin shelled operculated eggs from fecal concentrations
fascioliasis
tx
triclabendazole
diphyllobothriasis
cause
diphyllobothrium latum
cestode
fish tapeworm
diphyllobothriasis
epi
worldwide
fish eating mammals
diphyllobothriasis
life cycle
worms live in small intestine of humans lay eggs via pupa
coricidum larva hatch and are ingested by crustaceans -> into procercoid larva
infected crustaceans ingested by freshwater fish and plerocercoid larva develop into muscles of fish
we at the raw fish and they attach to the mucosa
