Flagellated trophozoites do not invade mucosa of small intestine but feed on mucous by succking disks
Giardiasis
Barrier to fat absorption, protein malabsorption
Giardiasis
Treatment for Giardiasis
Metronidazole
flagellated trophozoites transmitted by sexual contact
Trichomoniasis
cyst stage not present but tissue damage caused by proliferation of colonies of flagellated trophozoites
Trichomoniasis
Diagnosis: pyriform flagellated motile trophozoites
Trichomoniasis
Treatment for Trichomoniasis
Metronidazole
Nosemia and Vittaforma cause ocular infections
Parasite and treatment?
Microsporidiosis/ Fumagillin
Enterocytozoon cause GI infections
Parasite and treatment?
Microsporidiosis/Albendazole
Species have non-human mammals, fish, birds and insects as reservoirs and definitive hosts
Microsporidiosis
humans become infected by ingestion or inhalation of spores and by transplacental infection
Microsporidiosis
spores inject their cytoplasm in small intestine using a coiled polar tube
Microsporidiosis
Intestinal villi are infected resulting in atrophy and fusion of cells with infiltration of lamina propria
Microsporidiosis
Conjunctivitis is one of the possible symptoms of this spore transmitted parasite
Microsporidiosis
Transmitted by direct contact with infected tissue, blood transfusions and congenitally from mother to child
Leishmaniasis
found in nocturnal biting female sandflies
Leishmaniasis
Life cycle: amastigotes develop into promastigotes which enter MACROPHAGES and develop into intracellular amastigotes (detected by Giemsa)
Leishmaniasis
Infection with this Leishmania results in formation of papules nodules ulcers and scars on skin
Leishmania tropica
Infection with this Leishmania results in ulcers on skin but also effects mucuous membranes
Leishmania braziliensis and mexicana
Diagnosis: intracellular amastigoes on Giemsa stain
Parasite and treatment?
Leishmaniasis/Antimony sodium gluconate
transmitted by tick bites
Babesiosis
transovarial transmission in ticks
Babesiosis
sporozoites injected into human host and then merozoites form INTRAcellularly in erythrocytes
Babesiosis
hemolytic anemia is caused by this parasite
Babesiosis
this species of babesia can be fatal in splenectomized patients
Babesia microti
this species of babesia is self limiting
Babesiosis microti
pear shaped merozoites for diagnosis
Babesiosis
maltese cross sign in giemsa stain
Babesiosis
treatment for babesiosis
clindamycin plus quinine
transmission of giardiasis
cyst contaminated food or water, oral intercourse
life cycle of giardiasis
cysts survive stomach and develop into flagellatedd trophozoites in SI, do not invade mucosa, attach via sucking disks
treatment for giardiasis
metronidazole
transmission of trichomoniasis
flagellated trophozoites by sexual contact or contaminated fomites, NO CYST STAGE
treatment for trichomoniasis
metronidazole
transmission of leishmaniasis
direct contact with infected tissue, blood transfusions congenitally
life cycle of leishmaniasis
1) amastigoes into promastigoes in sandflies,
2) promastigotes enter macrophages
3) promastigoes into macrophages (like toxiplasma gondii)
4) develop into intracellular amastigotes
treatment for leishmaniasis
antimony sodium gluconate
northeastern US/tickbites
epidemiology of babesiosis
life cycle of babesiosis
sporozoites injected into new human host and develop into merozoites which live intracellularly
treatment babesiosis
clindamycin plus quinine
causes of malaria
plasmodium falciparum plasmodium vivax
nocturnally feeding female mosquitoes transmit this
malaria
life cycle malaria
1) sporozoites invade liver forming schizonts,
2) merozoites released invade erythrocytes and are released infecting new erythrocytes
3) gametocytes develop at same time, mosquitoes pick them up during blood meal, sexual reproduction occurs in mosquito lumen
4) sporozoites develop and migrate to salivary gland and transmitted to new humanhost.
blackwater fever
renal failure associated with malaria
treatment of malaria
chloroquine with plasmodium vivax, primaquine for plasmodium falciparum, doxycycline for prophylaxis
cause of American trypanosomiasis (chagas disease)
Trypanosoma cruzi
transmissoin of American trypanosomiasis
reduviid bug feces, mother to fetus, blood transfusions
life cycle of american trypanosomiasis
trypomastigoes develop into amastigoes intracellularly in the RES of humans and disseminate as trypomastigoes in the CNS,
myopathy, neural destruction and pathological changes in the heart from delayed hypersensitivity
american trypanosomiasis
romano's sign (swollen eye)
American trypanosomiasis
nodular lesions
chagomas aka chagas disease aka american trypanosomiasis
treatment for chagas disease
nifurtimox
xenodiagnosis
american trypanosomiasis
This cause of Malaria also causes relapse
Plasmodium Vivax
Duffy A and B cells when absent allow?
resistance to Malaria caused by Plasmodium Vivax
