Q

What is the difference between a cyst, ocysts and a oocysts?

A

They are dormant, encapsulated forms, similar to endospores.

Cysts have 1 layer, ocysts have two layers and oocysts have 3 layers

Q

How does Trypanosma brucei cause infection?

A

T.brucei is transmitted by tsetse fly. The Tsetse fly normally only feeds off of wild life. Humans are incidental hosts.

Q

What disease does Trypanosoma cruzi casue?

A

It can cause Chagas’ disease. (Found in the America’s)
Transmitted by Triomine (kissing bug) the triatomine bug will bit while sleeping. If get fecus and scratch it into the bite can enter the blood. Also transferred via blood transfusion.

Q

What is Dinoflagellates?

Q

What is unique about apicomplexa?

A

Apicomplexa= apical complex. Used to penetrate into a cell (Sporozoites)
Exclusively parasite of animals. They have intricate life cycles with both sexual and asexual phases.

Q

What is unique about plasmodium?

A

Plasmodium= malaria in humans.
Transmitted by anopheles.
Cyclic fevers. Caused by 4 different species: P.falciparum, P.vivx, P.ovale, & P.malariae

20
Q

Describe Toxoplasma gondii

A

Lifecycle typically between cats and rodents. Causes behaviour change. Get from consuming cat feces. The cysts are very sticky. Humans are incidental hosts. Very dangerous of pregnant women.

21
Q

Describe Crytosporidium parvum

A

Crytosporidium parvum is transmitted in water contaminated with feces causes diarrhea. Forms oocysts that are resistant to chlorine

22
Q

How do amoebas move?

A

They move using pseudopodia. (False feet)

23
Q

What is Entamoeba histolytica?

A

Causes is amoebic dysentery, transited in unsanitry water. Cysts survive outside host in moist/wet places.

24
Q

What do Acanthamoeba species do?

A

They can causes eye infection through an improperly sterilized contact lens.

25
Q

What is the study of Fungi?

A

Mycology

26
Q

How are fungi identified?

A

By appearance, rxn to stains, biochemical tests

27
Q

What do mycelium (hyphae) do?

A

They secrete digestive enzymes into there environment and bring in individual molecules inside

28
Q

Mass of Hyphae =

A

Mycelium

29
Q

What are haustoria?

A

Projections from the hyphae of parasitic fungi used to penetrate host cells

30
Q

Describe mold.

A

Branches are loose, contains mycelium (mass of hyphae) (fuzz)
Produce asexual spore forming bodies
Can reproduces sexually
Ie) Penicillium species

31
Q

How does yeast reproduce?

A

Unequal mitosis = daughter cell only gets a little bit most stays with the parent cell. This is called budding.

32
Q

What are some examples of yeast?

A

Candida albicans-> thrush or vaginal yeast infections.

33
Q

What does it mean to be a Dimorphic Pathogenic Fungi?

A

That it has two forms. One is as mold/hyphal/filamentous or as yeast

34
Q

What is an example of a dimorphic pathogenic fungi?

A

Blastomyces dermatitidis

35
Q

Fungal infection =

A

Mycolic

36
Q

What are animal-like protists called?

A

Protozoa

37
Q

Give an example of Diplomonadida and what are its primary characteristics:

A

Giardia: Loss of mitochondria, two nuclei

38
Q

Give an example of Parabasala and a characteristic

A

Trichomonas: loss of mitochondria, undulating membrane

39
Q

Give an example of Kinetoplstida and a characteristic

A

Trypanosma: kinetoplast

40
Q

Give a characteristic of dinoflagellata

A

Armor of cellulose plates

41
Q

Give an example and a characteristic of Apicomplexa

A

An apical complex: plasmodium, toxoplasma, Crytosporidium

42
Q

Give an example and a characteristic of amoebazoa

A

They move/feed using pseudopodia. Eg) Entamoeba.

43
Q

Explain the difference between telemorphic and anamorphic

A

Teleomorph: the sexual reproductive stage, typically a fruiting body. Anamorph: an asexual reproductive stage, often mold-like; When a single fungus produces multiple morphologically distinct anamorphs, these are called synanamorphs.

44
Q

How would you define a protist?

A

Typically microscopic & unicellular, cells are highly organized with nucleus and organelles. It’s an Eukaryotic organism that neither an animal, plant or fungi.

45
Q

How would you describe a fungi cell?

A

It’s a Eukaryotic cell: hetertrophic uses both asexual (budding) and sexual means for reproduction. Can produce spores. Use exotoxins to digest and than absorb nutrients from its envrionement
