1
Q
Flatworms can de grouped into?
A
- Trematodes (Flukes)
- Cestodes (Tapeworms)
2
Q
What are the different Trematodes?
A
- Fascialosis = Liverfluke
- Dicrocoeliosis = Lancet fluke
- Paramphistomidosis = Rumen fluke

= Unsegmented parasitic worms with two suckers and a branching intestinal canal!
Dorsoventral flattend
3
Q
How to detect eggs from the flatworms?
A
Sedimentation and flotation
4
Q

Eggs are shed
9
Q
Fasciola Hepatica
Requirement for their survival/growth?
A
Moisty areas, (in dry areas nothing happens)
10
Q
Fasciola Hepatica
Lifecycle untill the intermediate host
* Where are eggs shedd from?
* Whats inside the egg?
* What developes from the egg in watery environment?
* What hatched from the egg?
A
Eggs shedd from the final host
Zygote
From the egg, MIRACIDIUM wil develop
Mirazidium hatches from the egg
Mirazidium finds intermediate host.
11
Q
Fasciola Hepatica
Lifecycle when the Miracidium meets the intermediate host
A
- Mirazidium has cillated body surface –> Penetrates into the intermediate host(snail)
- Inside the intermediate host generation of mother and daugther radia, and cercaria
- Cercaria has tail, and when fresg water is coming it tells the cercaria to get out from the snail.
- (asexual reproduction –> one egg and 1000 of cercaria)
- Inside cyst –> 1000 radiae –> Inside Cercariae (multiply them self)
- 1000 of cercaria swarm out. Swim and attach to solid surface (vegetation). Loose tail, create double wall.
- Animals eat vegetation
12

16
Q
Miracidium
Fasciola Hepatica
A
- Inside egg
- In water they swarm out/hatch
- Infects the snail (snail body to the right)
17
Q
Habitat of Fasciola Hepatica
Primary Habitat
A
Primary habitat = Brooks, lakes (natural habitat of the snails, but cannot make dense populations, so not the usual sourse of the F.Hepatica infection)
(induvidials are scattered)
18
Q
Secondary habitat(biotopes) of Fasciola Hepatica
A
More importaint to us!
Pature, puddles
More dense populations in small areas
19
Q
F.Hepatica
Metacercaria
A
- Thick wall (resistant to circumstances)
20
Q
What happens when F.Hepatica is ingested by the final host?
A
Juvenile flukes develop in the small intestines
Gets through the intestinal lobes, through the body cavity.
Enters the capsule and migrate there for 4-6 weeks.
Damage the liver tisue (Liver parenchyma) due to the spikes on their surface.
Picture = When fluke is in the billiary duct!!
21
Q
Symptoms F.Hepatica
A
Acute form
* Most dangerous
* Fast
* Juvenile is probebly the one that causing it.
* Sudden death
* Losing weight
Sub acute and chronic not that dangerous:
* Asymptomatic
* Mild symptoms
* Anaemia
* Submandibular oedema
22
Q
Diagnosis F.Hepatica
A
- Characteristic eggs
- Praepatent period 6-12 weeks (=the time for the eggs to appear in the feces)
- Flotation and sedimentation test
23
Q
Dicrocoeliosus (Lancet fluke) morphology
A
- Smaller than F. hepatica (other than that its hard to distuinguish)
- Elongated body
- Suckers in same position as F.Hepatica
- Anterior part is quite similar to F.Hepatica.
- Between suckers –> Genital opening
- ORGANS different
- You can see the 2 testis (pink bigger circless) and ovary gland between. And the rest is uterus(smaller snircles).
- On the 2 sides you find the yolk glands.
- The metacercaria can have a stylet on top of the head - and due to that they can infitrate into the snail tissue.
24
Q
Life cycle of Lancet fluke (Dicrocoeliosus)
A
MI-SPO(SPO)-CE-ME
25
Main difference between FASCIOLA HEPATICA and DICROCOELIOSUS life cycle (Common liver fluke and lancet fluke)
* No redia in LANCET
* 2 intermed host in LANCET
* LIVER FLUKE develops = Whet environment
* LANCET FLUKE develops = Dry environment to = dont need water to develop.
* LANCET --> Intermediate host need to inget the egg to be infected!
* Slime wall --> Sneezed out from the respiratory system. In the slime, several cercaria will be found.
* 2ndary intermediate host = ANTS eat slima because its good in protein.
* Cercaria will penetrate the intestinal wall and get to the body cavity.
* Most of the Cercara will develop into metacercaria(double walled) in the **body cavity**, but some of them will get to the **ganglion** of the suboesophageal ganglia in the head part.
* Some of the ants climb on top of the grasses --> Because animals graze early in the morning.
* But why? Evolutionary reason, more chance to be eaten.
26
End host of Dicrocoeliosis (Lancet fluke)
Ruminants
| Same as common liver fluke
27
What does juvenile lancet flukes do/where do they go? And how do they get there?
Go to the liver and the bile ducts (same as common)
They get to the liver through ductus choledochus from duodenum. Does not destroy the liver parenchyma and they dont migrate through the parenchyma, but migrate through the ductus choledochus and to the gallbladder and bilary ducts.
28
How does the parenchyma look after lancet fluke infestation?
No blody distroyed parenchyma or dilations in the histopath in this case.
29
Life cycle of the lancet fluke.
Sneezed out!!
| Incidental human infection can happen too
30
Egg of dicocoelium sp compared do fasciola hepatica
* Much smaller (1/3 of the size)
* Dark brown
* Thick wall
* Inside: Two eyes like spots are from the MIRACIDIUM
31

Subacute and chronic forms
* Usually asymptomatic
* No seasonality
* In severe cases = ANAEMIA, OEDEMA, WEIGHT LOSS
33

MI-SPO-RE-CE-ME
45
Life cycle RUMEN FLUKE (PARAMPHISTOMIDOSIS)
explained compared to other flukes.
Rounded headpart (harder to penetrate snail?)
- MIRACIDIUM wil penetrate into the snai
- Sporocyst, Redia and Cercaria (exception not more redia stages)
- BUT --> What happens when the METACERCARIA gets into the host?
- Juvenile flukes will develop
- And what will they do?
- Go to the duodenum
- But how do they get to the liver?
- Stay in the GI tract, but under the mucosal layer
- Due to the migration of the duodenal mucosal layer there will be a ACUTE SYMPTOMS with this migration.
- Most dangerous form = ACUTE FORM
- Flukes can cause severe diarrhoea and catharal inflamation and haemorrhagic inflamation can be found.
46
Egg of rumen fluke
- Similar to F.Hepatica

Schistomatidosis life cycle
* When eggs shedds from the feces or urin
* Some of the eggs has spikes
* MIRACIDIUM will develop in the eggs and hatch
* INTERMEDIATE HOST is snails(water)
* SPOROCYST develop in the snail
* CERCARIA swarm out in the water
* FURCOCERCARIA due to the special tail
* FURCOCERCARIA are able to penetrate the SKIN (swiming in natural tropical water)
* FURCOCERCARIA gets to the blood circulation and migrating to the vessels and surounding viscerals.
* They live in pairs and leave the eggs in the circulation(spikes of the eggs attaches to the moving viscerals).
* Then they can get to the intestinal tract or the bladder.
* Then shedd by feces.
* Males are bigger
56

What is CESTODES?
TAPEWORMS
- They have **larva form** (found in intervertebrates or vertebrates)
- Distinguish between
1. **CESTODOSIS** (Adult form cause symptoms)
2. **METACESTODOSIS** (Larva cause symptoms)
58
Morphological appearance of TAPEWORMS
Headpart = Scolex
Armed or unarmed scolex
Armed = ROSTELLUM
Rostellum allways covered with HOOKS
Rostellum can be protruuded or pushed back regarding to the the attachement to the SI wall.
Armed = 4 suckers
Unarmed = no Rostellum, only suckers (4 or 2)
SCOLEX produce the segments
1. First the neck (unsegmented) and from the neck
2. The segments (PROGLOTTIS)
3. More segments togetter = STROBILA
Separate
IMMATURE = Empty,
MATURE = Sexual organs can be found and
GRAVID SEGMENTS = containing only eggs (sexual organs disapear becuse its full of eggs)
59
Where do you find the oldest segments of a tapeworm?
At the end of the STROBILA
60

Can detach and be shedd with the feces or eggs can come out and be shed.
62
How to detect eggs of TAPE WORMS?
**6-oncosphare** or **Teniatype eggs**
In Flotation you cannot se the PROGLOTTIS, but on the feces or in the feces.
But if you flotete and see this TENIATYPE eggs (6-hoock oncosphare)
63

How to distinguish Moniezia EXPANSA from Moniezia BENEDENI
With the interproglottideal lines
EXPANSA = Scattered lines
BENEDENI = Obvious line
70
Lifecycle of MONIEZIA
- From ruminants - Proglottid segement or eggs is shedd
- Eggs consumed by intermediate host (Box mites/soil mites)
- In thieir bodies, from the 6oncosphare the 2nd larva stage will develop = CYSTICERCOID (tiny spherical larva stage) = Invaginated head
- Soil mites will be ingested accidently by the final host (Ruminants)
- In their Small intestines --> CYSTICERCOID will turn into adult tape worm.
71
Which species is the most succeptible to MONIEZIOSIS and what are the symptoms?
**Young sheeps**
Acure form is rare
**Chronic**: Anemia due to bleeding in the GI tract, petechia, fleeze shedding

- Segments are boader than long
- Segments really close to eachother
- 1 set of genitalia
75
Lifecycle
ANOPLOCEPHALA PERFOLIATA
Same as moniezia

- Cycticercoid develop inside soil mite
- Soil mite consumed by equine --> Cysticercoid comes out from the mite and the adult form develop.
| Equine tape worm
76
Where to find ANAPLOCEPHALIDES and Symptoms
It can be an ulcer at an attaching point cauinc haemorrhage and inflammation.
Symptoms seen in young foals
ACUTE --> Rare: Colic, diarrhoea, oedema, ataxia
CHRONIC --> Anemia, Cahexia, emaciation
77
Why is Dipyllidum caninum called flea or cucumber tape worm?
Because intermediate host is flea
Cucumber because the segment looks like a cucumber seed
78
In which species can you find DIPHYLLIDUM CANINUM
Dogs, Cats and Humans
79
Lengt of segments in DIPHYLLIDUM CANINUM
The older segments are longer
Segments are detatched too (in feces example)
80
Life cycle DIPHYLLIDUM CANINUM
- Final host = DOG
- Proglotids/segments shedd in the feces
+ They are able to move
- Then pressed out of the coccon
- The cocoons or the eggs needs to be consumed by the host
- Intermediate host =** Flea larva,** or Thricodectes canis(chewing louse). Flea larva eats the feces of flea adult to develop + cocoon too.
- 2nd larva stage in the flea larva --> Cysticercoid develop.(CYSTICERCOID stay in the body through the whole development)
- Dog eat the flea (or cat, or human)
81
Picture to helo you remember the flea life cycle
| What to do to prevent DIPHYLIDIUM CANINUM

84
Morphology of Diphylidum Latum
Unarmed scolex
On the board --> 2 suckers
Segments are different = ONE set of genitals
- **Overy gland and uterus, not on the side but in the middle** = Characteristic!
- Small spots = testis.
85
Diphylidum Latum Life cycle
Different = 2 intermediate hosts!
- After egg shedd with feces (water surounding needed) = FISH 2nd intermediate host
- CORACIDUM develop in the water. = 1st stage larva (looks like miracidium, but round and cilliated)
- CRUSTACEANSE = first intermediate host
- PROCERCOID = Elongated Larvastage
- Crustatiant will be ingested by the fresh water fishes (salomon) = PLEROCERCOID develop.(settle in muscles)
- Predator fish
- Diphylobotrium latum can develop in out body if we eat fish that is not heat treated.
86
Intermediate host of DIPHYLIDIUM LATUM
1st = Tiny fresh water CRUSTA CEANS
2nd = Fresh water FISH (Salomon)
PLEROCERCOID --> Predator fish

118
How many adults will develop from one coenerus cyst (Coenerus cerebralis - Taenia multiceps)
From one coenerus --> Hundreds of adults will develop in the dogs intestinal tract if it eats it.
119
Morphology of the Coeneurus
Protoscolices develop on hte wall of the coeneurus, but they never leave the wall. Never float in fluid because fluid is inside.
120
Couneurosis Lifecycle
Dogs are final hosts
Carnivorus shedd the eggs in the feces
Taenia Multiceps --> Sheaps and small ruminants consume eggs and in their brain the Coeneutus Cerebralis develop.
= CNS signs
(In case of Taenia Serialis --> Rabit intermediate host
In rabbits subcutaneus tissue - Coenerus Serealis can develop)
120
Coenurosis Lifecycle
Dogs are final hosts (Shepherds and hunting dogs)
Carnivorus shedd the eggs in the feces
Humans that consume the eggs can also be intermediaet hosts.
**Taenia Multiceps** --> Sheaps and small ruminants consume eggs and in their brain the **Coenurus Cerebralis** develop.
= CNS signs
(In case of Taenia Serialis --> Rabit intermediate host
In rabbits subcutaneus tissue - Coenerus Serealis can develop)
SHEPPHERD DOGS and HUNTING DOGS ARE KEY IN THEIR LIFE CYCLE.
| (Sheppards giving viscerals to the dog --> No illegal)
121
Symptoms caused by Coenurus Cerebralis
It is **slow** developing (**GROWING** COENURUS CEREBRALIS), so in the beginning = Some
* **Meningoencephalitis** with
* **Fever** and
* **Dullness**.
* Hold their head **against the wall**
When reaced the full size
* Progressive atrophy of the brain causing some serious CNS symptoms:
* Ataxia
* Circeling
* Paraplegia (in the end)
THIS IS CALLED GID
| Not pseudo gid as in OESTERUS OVIS

- Can produce endo and exogenously.
- Free protoscolices.
- 1 larva form = thourands of adults can form in the intestines.

Echinococcus Worms
Larva form of Echinococcus MULTIOCULARIS
Echinococcus Alveolaris
- Inside cyst = not fluid but cavernosus material/truture
- Inside cevernosus material = Gelatin like substance
- Inside gelatin = Protoscolices
- (Cansourous like structure)
125
Echinococcus species
Morphology
Taenia type of eggs
Scolex is armed with hooks
Immature, mature and the long and well developed Gravid segments
Segments are longer than broad
126
How does Echinococcus develop?
Adult tape worms
One protoscolex gets to the small intestins
Attach them self the the intestinal wll and start developing.
After 1 month Adults develop
127
How can Echinococcus be destinguished?
By the mature segments.
128
Lifecycle of Echinococcus
Dog (foxes) definite host in this lifcycle
* **Synanthrope cycle** (urban) -->** E.Granulosus** (definite host dog)
* Sylvatic cycle (Forrest)
Synanthrope cycle --> Dogs shedd taenia type eggs with the feces. Sheep/Gote pasture, eat eggs.
**Echinococus hyatidosus** can develop in **Liver**, **lungs** and **vicerals**.
If dogs consume raw vicerals of intermediate host (sheep, goat,swine)= infected with thousends of ecchinococus.
Humans can also be intermediate host if we consume the eggs. ZONOTIC
In our body --> Go to the liver --> Develope to Echinocuccus Hyatidosus or Echinococcus alveolaris, but offen to late to do something about it. Only liver transplant is the solution.
129
Lifecycle of Echinococcus
* Outer = E.Granulosus (synathrope cycle --> Taenia eggs)
* Inner = E.Multiloculars (Sylvatic cycle) - Zonotic too. Foxes shedd the eggs, and rodents (E.alveolaris) are intermediate hosts. E.Alveolaris found in the liver.
*
130
Which of the Echinococcus can infect humans?
Both
Intermediate host E.Granulosus - Sheep --> E.hyatidosus (cystic) = In liver and lung
Intermediate host E.Multiocularis - Rodents --> E.alvaolaris = In Liver.

Life cycle of Echinococcus Alveolaris
How to avoid infection
Have normal hygene after touching dog etc
Dont eat wild fruits in the forest,
