    Study Notes

    Leishmania and Giardia: Parasitic Infections Summary

    • Leishmania donovani is found in southern Bulgaria and causes visceral leishmaniasis, transmitted by infected sandflies
    • Visceral leishmaniasis symptoms include high fever, spleen and liver enlargement, darkened skin, and weight loss
    • Diagnosis is through demonstration of amastigotes in tissue smears, serodiagnosis, and molecular diagnosis (PCR)
    • Prophylaxis includes insecticide spraying, destruction of animal reservoirs, and use of anti-bite repellents
    • Leishmania tropica complex includes three species causing old world cutaneous leishmaniasis
    • Cutaneous leishmaniasis has two subtypes: urban (dry) and rural (wet), with different clinical presentations
    • Mucocutaneous leishmaniasis caused by L. braziliensis complex is severe and can lead to disfigurement
    • Diagnosis of mucocutaneous leishmaniasis is through demonstration of amastigotes in smears and serology
    • Prophylaxis includes use of insect repellents, insecticide spraying, and protective measures for forest workers
    • Giardia lamblia is found worldwide and lives in the duodenum in two morphological forms: cyst and trophozoite
    • Transmission occurs through ingestion of cysts in contaminated water and food, with children commonly affected
    • Giardia damages the intestine mechanically and through release of toxins, facilitated by antigenic variation and variant-specific surface proteins

    African Trypanosomiasis and Leishmaniasis Overview

    • Trypanosoma brucei is a parasite that invades connective tissue, lymph nodes, blood, and the central nervous system
    • Tsetse flies, including Glossina morsitans and Glossina palpalis, are vectors for Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense and Trypanosoma brucei gambiense
    • Trypanosoma brucei has various forms including trypomastigote, procyclic, epimastigote, and metacyclic forms
    • Trypanosoma brucei evades the immune system through antigenic variation, which leads to exhaustion of the immune system and an increase in blood levels of antibodies
    • Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense causes acute sleeping sickness, while Trypanosoma brucei gambiense causes chronic sleeping sickness
    • Clinical features of sleeping sickness include a painless chancre, fever, rashes, lymph node enlargement, and CNS involvement leading to coma and death
    • Trypanosomiasis can be diagnosed through detection of trypanosomes in lymph node aspirate, blood smear, and stained smear of cerebrospinal fluid
    • Prophylaxis of African trypanosomiasis involves the control of tsetse fly population through insecticide spraying, traps, and baits
    • Dourine is a parasitic venereal disease of equines caused by Trypanosoma equiperdum, which is transmitted by sexual contact
    • Leishmania is a genus of obligate intracellular parasites that pass their life cycle in two hosts: the mammalian host and the insect vector, female sandfly
