Study Notes
Helminthic Diseases
- Schistosomiasis is transmitted by direct skin penetration by helminth larva.
- Filariasis, Onchocerciasis, Dracunculosis, and Hymenolepiasis are not transmitted by direct skin penetration.
Malaria Life Cycle
- Sporogony stages of the life cycle of the malarial parasite take place in female anopheles mosquitoes.
- Sporogony does not occur in human blood, liver cells, reticuloendothelial cells, or erythrocytes.
Trichuris Trichura
- Trichuris trichura lives in the caecum and colon, not in the jejunum and duodenum.
- Causes appendicitis.
- Eggs are not bile-stained.
- Eggs float in saturated salt solution.

- Trophozoite, schizont, gametocyte, and merozoite are present in the body of a person infected with malaria.
Parasitic Infections
- Cryptosporidium parvum is associated with hypogammaglobulinemia and respiratory distress.
- Toxoplasma gondii, Pneumocystis carinii, Giardia lamblia, and Naegleria fowleri are not associated with hypogammaglobulinemia and respiratory distress.
