Urogenital recognition Flashcards
Which urogenital parasite does this LC belong to?
Toxoplasma gondii (protozoal coccidia)
can infect most warm blooded animals and tissues
facultatively heteroxenous
forms tissue cysts with bradyzoites in intermediate host - infective
schizogony in final host
sporogony in environment
unsporoalated oocysts in faeces
thick walled oocysts with enclosed sporocysts
limited pathogenicity in cat
zoonotic
sheep abortion(white foci of necrosis on placenta)
transplacental in sheep and humans only and only if primary infection whilst pregnant (not subsequent pregnancies)
Which urogenital parasite does this cyst belong to?
Neospora Caninum ( protozoal coccidia)
thick cyst wall
seen in CNS(mainly) and muscle
Which urogenital parasite does this cyst belong to?
Toxoplasma Gondii (protozoal coccidia)
contains bradyzoites
thin cyst wall - mainly in muscle and heart, some in CNS
Which urogenital parasite does this LC belong to?
Neospora caninum (protozoal coccidia)
also seen in cattle and cervids as intermmediate - main cause of bovine abortion
calves can be persistently infected
final host is cattle / kojote
not zoonotic
paralysis, muscle wasting, myocarditis
transmission can be for subsequent pregnancies
