    Study Notes

    Parasitology

    Definition

    • Study of parasites and their interactions with hosts
    • Parasites: organisms that live on or in another organism (host) and benefit at the host's expense

    Types of Parasites

    • Ectoparasites: live on the host's body surface (e.g., lice, ticks, fleas)
    • Endoparasites: live inside the host's body (e.g., tapeworms, roundworms, protozoa)

    Important Parasites

    • ** Protozoa**:
      • Plasmodium (malaria)
      • Toxoplasma gondii (toxoplasmosis)
      • Giardia lamblia (giardiasis)
    • Helminths:
      • Tapeworms (Taenia saginata, Taenia solium)
      • Roundworms (Ascaris lumbricoides, hookworms)
      • Flukes (Schistosoma spp., liver and lung flukes)

    Host-Parasite Interactions

    • Immune response: host's defense against parasites
    • Parasite evasion mechanisms: strategies to avoid host immune response (e.g., antigenic variation, immune suppression)

    Parasitic Diseases

    • Malaria: caused by Plasmodium spp., transmitted by mosquitoes
    • Toxoplasmosis: caused by Toxoplasma gondii, transmitted through contaminated food and water
    • Schistosomiasis: caused by Schistosoma spp., transmitted through skin contact with contaminated water

    Diagnosis and Treatment

    • Microscopy: used to identify parasites in stool, blood, or tissue samples
    • Serological tests: used to detect parasite antibodies in blood or serum
    • Antiparasitic drugs: used to treat parasitic infections (e.g., antimalarials, anthelmintics)
