400

cattle definitive host

Tritrichomonas foetus

400

2 stages of Leishmania spp

promastigote and amastigote

500

Icthyophthrius multifiliis steps of pathogenicity

tomites invade tissue -> form trophozoites -> exit tissue to form cysts -> division to form tomites -> release

500

Most common parasite in feces

Blastocystis hominis

500

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

500

Cause diarrhea with cow-pie consistency in cats

Tritrichomonas bagburni

500

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
