72
Q

Spirometra mansonoides life cycle

A

Eggs shed in feces -> coracidium hatch in water-> ingested by copepod -> ingested by 2nd intermediate host and forms metacestodes -> ingested by definitive host

73
Q

Basic roundworm life cycle

A

Eggs shed in feces -> develop into L3 larvae in the environment -> ingestion of egg by definitive host

74
Q

Toxocara canis life cycle

A

L3 larvae cross the placenta and infect pups -> developmental arrest in L3 -> reactivate once pup born

75
Q

Oxyuris equi life cycle

A

Female parasite ‘glues’ egg masses to perianal skin -> flakes of adhesive and eggs infect the environment -> ingested by definitive host

76
Q

Trichinella spiralis life cycle

A

Encysted larvae ingested by new host -> enter SI and develop into adults -> produce pre larvae which migrate through tissue to skeletal muscle

77
Q

Dictyocaulus viviparus life cycle

A

Eggs hatch in lungs -> L1 coughed up and swallowed -> exit with the feces -> L3 ingested by definitive host -> penetrate intestinal wall -> L4 migrate in lymph to lungs

78
Q

A

L3s emerge from feeding part of fly and enter the host eye

84
Q

Oncocerca spp. and Dirofilaria immitus life cycle

A

Biting fly ingests microfilariae -> develop into L3 in fly -> L3 transfered through mouthpart

85
Q

what overarching factors are affecting moose populations in Minnesota and other parts of North America?

A

disease
heat stress
over-predation
capture myopathy
climate change

86
Q

what are the three parasites that are collectively contributing to poor moose health and population declines?

A

D. albipictus (tick)
F. magna (fluke)
P. tenuis (roundworm)

87
Q

what ectoparasite causes significant blood loss, coat thinning, weight loss, and affects moose, elk, deer, cattle

A

D. albipictus

88
Q

what fluke causes liver disease, peritonitis and affects deer, elk, moose, and sheep

A

F. magna

89
Q

what roundworm species causes progressive CNS disease and affects species deer, moose, llama

A

P. tenuis

90
Q

lifecycle of D. albipictus? and why are they not commonly involved in disease transmission?

A

-winter ticks are a “one host tick”, meaning they spend nearly their entire lives on a single host
-early developmental stages do not involve a host which is why it is not to be an important disease vector

91
Q

lifecycle of F. magna and what are the common clinical signs

A

-deer are the definitive host, with limited signs
-other ruminants are commonly dead-end hosts with more severe clinical signs including eosinophilia anemia, hepatitis
moose are dead end hosts

92
Q

life cycle of P. tenuis in various host? what are common clinical signs in moose?

A

-deer are definitive host with limited clinical signs
-moose and llamas are dead-end hosts, neurologic disease

93
Q

where is P. tenuis found and what is the intermediate host?

A

east of Mississippi River
intermediate host: snail/slug

94
Q

what is the causative agent for FIE and what are the pathologic findings?

A

cuterebra spp
gross observance of cuterebra
eosinophilic meningitis
