Summary -Parasite: a living organism lives on/in another living organism (host) for food + shelter, & dose harm to it (host). Parasites (Eukaryotic) are Protozoa, Helminth & Arthropoda -Parasitism: a living organism gains food & shelter on expanse of another -Life cycle: Direct: need one host [No I.H] - Indirect: need more than one host [Require I.H(s)] -Basic parasite life cycle stages in human (Infective stage, pathogenic stage & diagnostic stage) [slide] Host: Organism harbors a guest organism (parasite) [Serves as source of food & habitat to a parasite] Definitive/Final Host (DH): host harbors adult (mature) (sexually reproducing) stage of parasite Intermediate Host (IH): host harbors Larva (immature) (asexually reproducing) stage of parasite Paratenic Host: host harbors parasite & play role in parasite life cycle BUT in/on which no development of parasite occurs (arrested development) i.e. host in which parasite end blindly, but parasite can continue development in a suitable host. Reservoir Host (RH): an animal harbors same parasite species & stage as man SO maintain parasite in nature & act as a potential source of human infection. Vector: an arthropod carries parasite from host to host -Opportunistic Parasite: Parasite produces disease only in immunocompromised -Source of parasitic infection: Environment (food, soil, water) Hosts (Human [case/carrier]/animal/Arthropoda [vector]) -Mode of transmission of parasitic infection: Acquired (6) – Congenital [slide] -Faeco-oral Parasites/Food-borne Parasites (FBP)[Most common] (Occurrence/entry of Parasites in Foods & water) - Zoonotic diseases: Diseases pass from animal to human (Directly: Eating animal tissue/products Contact with infected animals OR Indirect via vector) Prevention & Control Hosts (Reduce sources): Treatment of cases/carriers-Control of vector & animal (reservoir…) hosts Health Promotion (Interrupt transmission): a) Health education b) Environment sanitation c) Personal prophylaxis Medical importance of Arthropods (cont.) II. Vectors = disease transmission 1. Mechanical transmission: passively carrying disease without development or multiplication a. Indirect= by contamination: Non-biting arthropod carry microorganisms on its mouth parts, legs or hairs e.g. house fly 2. Biological transmission: microorganism undergo changes (develop/multiply) in Arthropoda i.e arthropod part of its life cycle e.g. a. Propagative: organism multiply in vector without cyclic changes e.g. Y. pestis in flea, yellow fever in Aedes b. Cyclo-developmental: organism develop in vector without multiplication e.g. MF of W.bancrofti in Culex b. Direct= by inoculation: Biting arthropod carry microorganism on its mouth parts during feeding e.g stomoxys (Trypanosoma rhod.) c. Cyclo-propagative: organism multiply & develop in vector e.g.Leishmania in sand fly, Plasmodium in Anopheles d. Transovarian= organism transmitted from infected mother to offspring through the eggs e.g. Tick transmitted disease e. Trans-stadial = organism transmitted from stage to stage e.g Scrub typhus organism (Rickettsia orientalis) pass from larva→nymph→adult→next larva of Trombicula akamushi mite I - Taxonomic Classification of parasites 1. PROTOZOA 2. HELMINTH i Unicellular (Protozoa) Multicellular (Metazoa) ii Multiply within host Do not Multiply within host iii 3. ARTHROPODA Multicellular (Metazoa) ? (except Strongyloides-trichinella?) No No i) Amoebae i) Platyhelminth (flat) (e.g. Entamoeba histolytica) Have Exoskeleton i) Insecta: a. Diptera: Flies Mosquitoes a) Trematoda/Fluke (leaf like) (e.g. Fasciola spp. ii) Flagellates Schistosoma spp.) (e.g. Giardia lamblia) b. Siphonaptera: Fleas c. Anoplura: Lice b) Cestoda (tape) ii) Ciliates d. Hemiptera: Bugs (e.g.Taenia saginata) (e.g. Balantidium coli) ii) Sporozoa ii) Nematoda (round) (e.g. Plasmodium spp. [Malaria] Toxoplasma gondii) ii) Arachnida: Ticks Mites (e.g. Sarcopties scabiei) e.g. Ascaris lumbericoides) iii) Crustacea: e.g. Cyclops Medical Helminthology Medical Protozoology Medical Parasitology Ayman A.
