Mastigophora, Entamoeba histolyica.
Sarcodina Amoeba that causes amoebic dysentery in humans. Dogs usually acquire from humans, cats rarely infected. Will produce chronic diarrhea in dogs. Diagnosed with fecal. Will be able to see cyst and trophozoite.
Entamobea Histolyica
In Etamoeba Histolyica how do the cells multiply?
Miotic divison. one cell into two..Etc.
Important parasite of large and small animals. Parasites are flattened leaf shaped. Primarily encoparasites of the GI tract. Can infect blood vessels and lungs. Often identified in feces. Name the class and Phylum?

Round in their cross section. Most numerous, complex, $ variable amongthe worm parasites in dometic animals. Name Kingdom,and Class?
Animalia, Nematodes (round worms)
Parasite that comes in all sizes and shapes, exist in a variety of organs, produce significant pathology in domestic animals. Second only to Anthropods in their number and complexity in life cycles. Larvae and eggs on fecal flotation. Name Phylum and class?
Nematoda. Nematodes (round worms)

Protista, Sarcomastigophora, Ciliphora (Ciliaties)
Large Protozoan parasite that is found in the cecum and colon of dogs and horses. Produces diarrhea. More closely associated with pigs and it is found in their large intestine. Observed in fecal and genrally considered to be non-pathogenic. Name the Kingdom, Phylum, sub-phylum, and Class?
Protista, Sarcomastigophora, Ciliphora, Balantidium Coli.
Protozoan parasite that is the most diverse, most complicated parasite of almost every animal phylum. Name the kingdom, phylum, and subphylum?
Protista, Sarcomastigophora, Apicomplexa (coccidians) sporozoa.
In domestic animals found in the epi. of the intestine, w/in the blood cells and w/in clees of the reticuloendothelial system. Are banna, comma and boomerang shape. Movement not visible by the human eye.
Apicomplexa
Coccidian parasite found in the small intestine of dogs and cats. Produce Clinical syndrome known as coccidiosis. Commonly diagnosed in puppies and kittens. Oocyst is the stage seen in fecal flotation.. Name?
Isospora Species. Coccidian. Apicomplexa. Sarcamastigophora. Protista.
Protozoan parasite that is an intestinal coccidian of cats. Found in fecal and variety of blood tests. Final host is all cats. Serious pathogen in pregnant women. Most infections via the digestive tract. Infection in 2 ways: ingestion of eggs shed in feces. or undercooked meat that is contaminated.
Toxoplasma Gondii. Apicomplexa. Protista.
Intracellular parasite found in the red blood cells of dogs. Referred to as the Canine Piroplasm. Diagnosis: ring of organisms in red blood cells. Spread by the bite of ticks. Prognosis is Poor.
