  1. Whats is the lifes cycle of Trichuris?
    (transmission is via eggs directly consumed) 1. Eggs are consumed directly(eggs need high temp) 2. Eggs hatch and the larval development occurs in the jejunal wall. (larvae incubate 1mo in egg) 3. Adults then ove to the cecum where they mature and reproduce in approximately 11 weeks after ingestion of egg.
  2. What is the prepatent period from egg ingestion until egg production by the adults in Trichuris?
    approximately 3 months
  3. What are some symptoms of the Trichuris (cecum inhabitant)?
    1. weight loss 2. bright blood in feces (small amount) 3. anemia-mild 4. abdominal pain 5. flatulence 6. flank sucking

    1. sexual male 2. sexual female 3. Asexual and pathogenic female
  5. What is Strongyloides known as?
    "intestinal Threadworm"
  6. What are the two common worms of Strongyloides?
    Strongyloides stercoralis- dog and Strongyloides tumefaciens- cat
  7. What is the lifecycle of Strongyloides?
    1. after passiing larvae(it will molt two molts to infetive 3rd stage) 2. 3rd stage may penetrate the skin or be consumed 3. 3rd stage larvae will migrate by way of the circulation and lungs, going to intestines as 4th stage larvae 4. 4th will molt to adult in the upper third of the sm. intestine
  8. When will strongyloides be shed in the feces?
    7 to 20 days after the infection
  9. The rhabditiform larvae was diagnosed using the __ technique.

  14. ___ "the fox lungworm" is the lungworm of the dog and fox.
    Eucoleus (Capillaria) aerophila
  15. __ They can be oviparous, pass larvae, use a direct lifecycle or an indirect lifecycle utilizing an earthworm as a faculative intermediate host
    Eucoleus (Capillaria) aerophila
  16. Crop worm of poultry
    Eucoleus annulata
  17. __ inflammation of mucosa in ducks
    Eucoleus contorta
  18. What is the indirect life cycle associated with Aleurostrongylus abstrusus?
    molluscus is consumed by fish then the fish is consumed by cat, cat is then infected with Aleurostrongylus abstrusus
  19. What is a clinical sign of a dog infected with Eucoleus aerophila
    coughing turning into pneumonia
  20. Cats infected with Aleurostrongylus will exhibit what signs?
    few clinical signs: cough will be followed by dyspnea, anorexia, and fever. Sneezing may be present
  21. __ another lungworm although it is not a nematode but a trematode, must be differentiated here as it has a natural host in the mink, although we see it most commonly in the south and in Texas.
    Paragonimus kellicotti
  22. What is the lifecycle of Paragonimus kellicotti?
    eggs coughed up and swallowed, pass in water and are picked up by the snail, and the crayfish will then eat the snail, and finally the dog with eat the crayfish.
  23. __ and __ are unlike the other lungworms, because these worms 1st stage larvae is infective
    Filaroides osleri and Filaroides hirthi
  24. What are the 2 things that make Filarodies osleri and Filaroides hirthi unlike the other lungworms?
    • 1. 1st stage larvae are infective (do not have to wait for the 2nd and 3rd molt)
    • 2. They do not require an intermediate host
  25. What are some clinical signs of Filarodies osleri and Filaroides hirthi?
    cough, to dyspena, to death
  26. Filaroides osleri is also known as __ and was recovered from a centrifugal zinc sulfate
    Oslerus osleri
  27. This is the first parasite thus discussed that emerges from the host in the larval form (the other is the non-zoonitic lung worm)
  28. __ lives in the anterior half of the small intestints but produce bright blood due to the rapid movement through the intestines
  29. What is the intermediate host for Eucoleus?
    earthworm (direct/indirect) lifecycles
  30. What is the intermediate host for Aleurostrongylus?
