|
|
What phylum are Flukes from?
|
Platyhilmenthes
|
|
|
Name two important sets of Flukes?
|
1. Monogenes
2. Digenes |
|
|
What are Monogenes?
|
type of parasitic fluke that infects fish
|
|
|
What are Digenes?
|
parastic lung flukes, liver flukes, and shistosomes
|
|
|
What are Hemoflagellates?
|
They are parasites that include Leishmaniaisis and Trypanosomiasis. They have flagella and live in blood. They are a protozoa.
|
|
|
Explain Hemoflagellate taxonomy.
|
Exists in four forms that are based off of the placement of their kinetoplast in their flagellum:
1.Trypomastigote 2.Epimastigote 3.Promastigote 4.Amastigote |
|
|
What are kinetoplasts?
|
contains kinetosomes which are a basal body that attaches the flagellum to the cell and houses mitochondrian
|
|
|
the Class kinetoplasta can be either...
|
Monoxenous: infects one host usually an arthropod
or Heteroxenous: infects 2 hosts an arthropod and vertebrate |
|
|
What are the two important Genera of hemoflagellates?
|
Trypanosma and Leishomaniasis
|
|
|
What are the two types of Trypanosamiasis ?
|
Trypansoma brucei
and Trypanosma crucei |
|
|
What is the Morhpology of Trypanosomiasis Brucei?
|
Trypanomastigote in human blood: kinetoplast is in front of the nucleus and has a full length undulating membrane
Epimastigote in Teste Fly: kinetoplast is behind the nucleus |
|
|
What is the Life Cycle of Trypanosomiaisis Brucei?
|
1. Teste fly ingests trypomastigote
2. the trypomastigote trasforms into epimastigote in the teste flies saliva 3. The epimastigotes divide forming more trypomastigotes 4. The teste fly injects the trypomastigote into definitive host's blood 5. Dvides in the hosts blood to form more |
