bed bug
what do bed bugs look like
oval, dorsoventrally flattened bodies, vestigal wings, three segmented beaks, and a disagreeable odor. nocturnal, hide in crevices by humans, chickens, bats, and nesting birds. the engorge for 5-10 min. they can survive several months without a blood meal. Female lays 200-500 eggs in batches, and molt five times. taking one blood meal between each molt and another before egg laying
do bedbugs transmit dz?
no
pentasomes
are pleomorphic, resembling mites during their larval stage and demonstrating annelid (worm-like) characteristics during their nympal and adult stages.
what does penta mean
five and stome meaing mouth, five mouths was chosen becuse these parasietes as adults have a mouth on the anterial that is surrounded by four hooked claws
what are some other names for pentasome?
tongue worm and linguatulids beause of their distinct tongue-shaped appearance
what is the life cycle of a reptilian pentasome like?
occur mostly in the lungs, trachea, and nasal passages of the reptiilian definitive host feeding on tissue fluids and blood cells. female pentasomes produce several million fully embryonated eggs, each containing a single larvae with 2-3 pairs of rudimentary claws
what is interesting about the larvae of pentasomes?
they have 4-6 stumpy legs, each of which has one or two retractable pincer like claws, hatch from the eggs and are infective for the intermediate host (rodents, herbivores, carnivore)
what do pentasome larvae do when they are in the gut?
they bore through the intestinal wall of the intermediate host and pass with the blood to the mesenteric lymph nodes, the liver, lungs, omentum, or another internal organ where is becomes encysted. The larvae becoe quiescent and change into the annelid worm-like nymphal stage which can pass through as many as 5 molts
how does the reptile definitve host become infected?
by ingesting the intermediate host with its encysted nymphal pentasomes. The infected nymps penetrat the host's intesting and bore into the lungs, where they become sexually mature adult parasites
what are the signs of an infected animal w/ pentasomes
lethargy, anoerxia, dyspnea, and production of blood-tinged sputum or mucus with the pharynx or the trachea. The sputum and the feces can contain eggs that microscopically appear and contain 4-6 legged larvae with retractable claws. CBC reveals leukocytosis and eosinophilia. Rads might reveal adult worns or remnants of calcified cysts
what do the pentasomes do when the reptile is stressed?
they attempt to leave the host through the mouth, nostrils, or body wall
Linguataula serrata
the canine pentasome found in the nasal and paranasal sinuses of dogs, wild canids,and cats
what are the intermediate hosts for linguataula serrata?
rats, procupiines, g.pigs, rabbies, hedgehogs, pigs, and wild and domestic ruminants. rabbits most common in north america
what happens with fully developed linguataula?
they ar the infective stage for carnivores. Nymphs may be found ina variety of organs, spleen, liver, and mesenteric lymph nodes. Humans become incidental hosts by eating raw or undercooked meat or meat by products that contain nymphal stages. soonoic
