Ciliates
Requirement to be classified as a ciliate
cilia in at least 1 life stage
Structures amoebas use to move
pseudopodia
only pathogenic species
Giardia duodenalis
Stage missing from this order
cyst
what is the kinetoplast
contains mitochondria (1)
Disease caused by Ichthyophthrius multifiliis
White Spot Disease
Pathogenic strain of Entamoeba
Entamoeba histolytica
what does this parasite cause
Giardiasis (Beaver fever) and diarrhea
Species that promotes HIV transmission
Trichomonas vaginalis
name of the infective trypomastigote
metacyclic trypomastigote
Structure that ciliates ingest food through
cytosome
Brain eating amoeba
Naegleria fowleri
diagnosis of cysts
fecal flotation test
Paratenic host of Histomonas meleagridis
earthworm
3 classifications of Trypanosoma
cyclical (intermediate host), mechanical mechanical passage), and direct transmission (sexual transmission)
Balantidium coli
2 species that cause GAE
Acanthamoeba and Balamuthia
which assemblages are potentially zoonotic
A and B
cattle definitive host
Tritrichomonas foetus
2 stages of Leishmania spp
promastigote and amastigote
Icthyophthrius multifiliis steps of pathogenicity
tomites invade tissue -> form trophozoites -> exit tissue to form cysts -> division to form tomites -> release
Most common parasite in feces
Blastocystis hominis
difference between the trophozoite and cyst morphology
Trophozoites: pathogenic, motile, pear-shaped, 2 nuclei, 4 pairs of flagella, median body, and adhesive/sucking
Cysts: infective, oval-shaped, 4 nuclei, median body, and survive for months
Cause diarrhea with cow-pie consistency in cats
Tritrichomonas bagburni
name and explain the 4 life stages of kinetoplastida
Trypomastigote: kinetoplast and origin of flagellum are behind and distant from nucleus
Epimastigote: kinetoplast and origin of flagellum are in front and near the nucleus (undulating membrane)
Promastigote: kinetoplast and origin of flagellum are in front and near the nucleus (NO undulating membrane)
Amastigote: no true flagellum (short) with kinetoplast near the nucleus
