Study Notes
Differentiation between Parasites
- Differentiation between Echinococcus and Taenia can be done by examining the scolex, which is lobed in Echinococcus and unarmed in Taenia.
- The scolex is a key feature to distinguish between these two parasites.
Treatment of Giardiasis
- Alternative treatment for giardiasis, instead of metronidazole, is tinidazole.
- Tinidazole is an effective drug for treating giardiasis.
Treatment of Cestodes in Food Animals
- The recommended treatment for tapeworms (cestodes) in food animals, except for Moniezia, is praziquantel.
- Praziquantel is an effective drug for treating tapeworms in food animals.
Treatment of Enteritis associated with Coccidiosis
- The appropriate drug for treating enteritis associated with coccidiosis is amprolium.
- Amprolium is a specific drug approved for treating enteritis associated with coccidiosis.
Fecal Egg Count (FEC) Calculations
- The McMaster's FEC (Fecal Egg Count) is calculated using a specific formula.
- The formula for calculating Stoll's FEC (Fecal Egg Count) is also specific and distinct from McMaster's FEC.
Treatment of Cestodes in Large Animals
- The recommended treatment for all tapeworms/cestodes in large animals is praziquantel.
- Praziquantel is an effective drug for treating tapeworms in large animals.
Approved Treatment for Coccidiosis
- The only drug label approved for the treatment of enteritis associated with coccidiosis is amprolium.
- Amprolium is a specifically approved drug for treating enteritis associated with coccidiosis.
