33
gongylonema id
- small thick shelled eggs in feces | - looks like Christmas ribbon candy
34
gongylonema organ effected
esophagus or rumen
35

37
spirocerca lupi transmission
ingestion of arthropod
38
spirocerca lupi host
- beetle intermediate | - lizards, chicken, mice, = paratenic
39
spirocerca lupi lifecycle
Eggs in feces -> Eaten by beetle -> Larvae migrate through vessel walls to visceral arteries & aorta then to esophagus
40
spirocera lupi organ effected
- nodules at base of esophagus / beginning of stomach
41
spirocerca lupi dx
nodules - damage to aorta and other vessels they migrate - one of few parasites that can induce carcinoma in host
42

43
habronema host
- equids | - musca and stomoxys intermediates
44
habronema life cycle
Eggs containing larvae hatch before leaving horse -> Eaten by maggots of Musca & Stomoxys -> Infective larvae migrate to mouthparts
45
habronema transmission
horse infected by eating fly or larvae posited near mouth (ingestion of arthropod)
46
habronema organ effected
- stomach | - eyes and skin surrounding them
47
habronema dx
- larvae cause granulomatous lesions in skin | - possible severe pruritis
48

49
draschia host
- equids | - musca and stymoxiys intermediate
50
draschia life cycle
Eggs containing larvae hatch before leaving horse -> Eaten by maggots of Musca & Stomoxys -> Infective larvae migrate to mouthparts

56
filarida dirofilaria immitus host
- dog, cat, ferrets
57
filarida dirofilaria immitus lifecycle
Blood ingested by mosquito & L1-L3 inside -> Mosquito bites again & larvae enter animal -> SQ while molting to L4->SQ muscle to molt to adult -> Heart & arteries of lung
58
filarida dirofilaria immitus transmission
- have to enter mosquito | - will not develop in dog so transfusion or trans placental infection not possible
59
filarida diofilaria immitus majority of growth when
when reach lung
60
filarida diofilaria immitus organ effected
- pulmonary arteries | - microfilariae in bld
61
filarida diofilaria immitus dx
- multiple system dysfunction of pulmonary circulation - pulmonary hypertension, r heart dx - thrombotic emboli - vena cava syndrome
62
filarida diofilaria immitus location
all over us
63
filarida diofilaria immitus prepatent period
6.5-7 months
64
filarida diofilaria immitus diagnosis
- 20% infections occurt with no microfilariae in bld so need immune diagnostics bc wnt diagnose by bld
