Phylum Apicomplexa

Front 1

List the Classes under Phylum Apicomplexa and and subclasses

Back 1

Class Perkinsus
Class Sporozoa
Subclass Gregarina
Subclass Piroplasma
Subclass Coccidia
Family Eimeridae

Front 2

Oocyst

Back 2

reproductive cyst that can also survive the environment and elements between hosts
--general concept for most sporozoans

Front 3

Describe the oocyst in terms of parts, walls, and numbers

Back 3

Double wall surrounding another 2 double walled parts that contain 4 naked parasites inside-sporozoite.

Oocyst wall-outer
sporocyst-houses sporozoites
sporozoites-parasite inside

Front 4

Acepaline

Back 4

In subclass Gregarina, without head, football shaped oocyst

Front 5

Subclass Gregarina

Back 5

parasite of invertebrates

Front 6

Cephaline

Back 6

with head, reproduce by syzygy (tail to tail)

Front 7

Monocystis lumbrici

Back 7

parasite of earthworms, birds and small mammals may have in feces (from eating worm)

Front 8

Gregaria polymorpha

Back 8

common parastie of mealworms
-Tanebrio molitor is found in midgut

Front 9

Subclass Coccidea

Back 9

small, intercellular development; some monoxenious, heteroxenious, or both
-lives in digestive tract epithelium

Front 10

List the steps of a typical coccidian life cycle and explain each step

Back 10

1.Merogony/Schizogony-ameboid trophozoite multiplies to form more merozoites
2.Gametogony-(sexual stage)formation of male microgametocytes and female macrogametocysts
3.Sporogony-multiple fission of zygote

Front 11

Which stages of the life cycle occur in monoxenious coccidian?

Back 11

All stages but oocyst can mature in O2 rich, lower temp environment outside the host.

-sporozoites are released into environment

Front 12

What stages of life cycle are found in the heteroxenious coccidian?

Back 12

-merogony/schizogony and part of gametology occurs in verts.
-sporogeny occurs in inverts

Front 13

Family Eimeridae

Back 13

most important group(s) of parasites in agriculture. Causes money loss for sick animals.

Front 14

What are the 2 genera of Family Eimeridae and how are they different?

Back 14

1. Eimeria-4 sporocysts w/ 2 sporozoite in each
2. Isospera-2 sporocysts w/ 4 sporozoite in each

Front 15

What type of life cycle does Family Eimeria have

Back 15

Direct monoxenious

Front 16

What are the clinical signs of eimeria?

Back 16

diahrea, shed spithelium

Front 17

Family Cryptosporidium

Back 17

major problem of animal husbandry but can affect humans
-Naked sporozoites enter epithelium and leave and encyst

Front 18

Milwaukee outbreak was due to which coccidian?

Back 18

Family Cryptosporidium

Front 19

Family Sarcocystidae

Back 19

in muscle and between muscle fibers, generally in preditor/prey system (eat one to get infected)
-humans into picture by undercooked beef

Front 20

Where would you find Sarcocystidae in herbivores? Carnivores?

Back 20

Herb-GI tract
Carnv-muscles

Front 21

Is sarcocystidae a monoxenious or heterxenious lifecycle

Back 21

Heteroxenious

Front 22

What is the most unique life cycle studied?

Back 22

Toxoplasma

Front 23

Which animals are involved with the life cycle of toxoplasma?

Back 23

Cats, mouse, or anything that comes in contact with cat feces (dog sniffs)

Front 24

Cats are part of which stage in the life cycle?

Back 24

Sexual

Front 25

Is the toxoplasma life cycle monoxenious or heterxenious?

Back 25

Both

Front 26

List 2 ways to spread infection.

Back 26

1. egg picked up by int host (mice) by eating feces. OOcyst forms in intestine and then moves to lungs, liver, nervous system.Moves to asexual stage and multiplies. Cat eats rat.
2. Cat licks butt and reinfects itself.

Front 27

What is toxoplasma>

Back 27

disorder caused by toxoplasma gohndii. It's a great parasite because non specific host.

Front 28

What are some precautions you can take to prevent toxoplasma (pregnant women)

Back 28

1. Clean litter box everyday (2-3 days_
2. Wash hands thoroughly after being with cat.
3. Where gloves when in garden or raw meat
