Stage of parasite to identify accurately what parasite is present on the sample
Diagnostic Stage
What are the 4 STH?
Ascaris lumbricoides
Ancylostoma duodenale & Necator americanus
Trichuris trichiura
Strongyloides stercoralis
Percentage of hookworm in this country between the two hookworms
Necator americanus: 70%
Ancylostoma duodenale: 30%
Egg that is still in the uterus of the female species
ovum
2 forms of larvae stage specifically of nematodes
Flariform larvae
Rhabditiform larvae
the infective stage; long, thread-like; often “designed” for penetration
Filariform larvae
characterized by the presence of a muscular
esophagus and bulbular pharynx. The first “molt “ worms after leaving the egg are termed “________”
Rhabditiform larvae
Staging of the developmental process of helminths
- Egg/ovum
- Larvae
- Adult
Developmental stages of protozoans
- Cysts
- Tropozhoite
Resistance stage of the protozoan
Cysts
Vegetative or parasitic stage of protozoan
Trophozoite
Largest intestinal amoeba
Entamoeba coli cysts
The only pathogenic intestinal amoeba
Entamoeba histolytica
The only known ciliate to cause human infection
Balantidium coli
Examples of commensal protozoans
Endolimax nana
Chilomastix mesneli (mesnili on net?)
Features of the parasite that can be observed by the eyes
morphology
What is the magnitude of the diseases
epidemiology
What are the diseases it cause
pathogenecity
What procedures do we do in order to determine the presence or absence of the parasite
laboratory diagnosis
Where we can commonly find the parasite
distribution and life cycles
where is filariasis more commonly found in the Philippines?
southern Philippines (mindanao)
Difference of control and preventation
control- mitigate the effect
prevention- prevent the disease to ever happen
