Introduction

QuestionAnswer
The living together of unlike organisms. Symbiosis
ONE ORGANISM BENEFITS AND THE OTHER IS UNHARMED. Commensalism
ONE ORGANISM BENEFITS AND THE OTHER IS HARMED Parasitism
Harbors the sexual/adult stage of the parasite DEFINITIVE HOST (Final Host)
Harbors the asexual/larval stage of the parasite INTERMEDIATE HOST
Also serve as additional source of infection for the susceptible host RESERVOIR
Host harbors the parasite where no development is happening (Only serve as carrier or transport host) PARATENIC HOST
Paratenic host harbors what stage of the parasite? Inactive stage
Parasites that invade a part of the body where it is not usually found ERRATIC
Parasites that only visit the host during feeding time INTERMITTENT
Infects host where they cannot develop further ABERRANT
Parasites that are found intracellularly CYTOZOIC
Parasites that are found inside red blood cells (erythrocytes) HEMATOZOIC
Parasites found in the body cavities COELOZOIC
Larval stage develops inside the host; Adult stage is free-living (facultative) TRANSITORY
larval stage develops in a host; Adult stage develops in another host PERIODIC
Commensals, but if humans are immunocompromised, they can be infected. (2) Entamoeba gingivalis, Trichomonas tenax
MOT: Ingestion of PORK (2) Taenia solium, Trichinella spiralis
MOT: Ingestion of BEEF Taenia saginata
MOT: Ingestion of CRABS (2) Paragonimus westermani, Fasciolopsis buski
MOT: Ingestion of FISH (3) Heterophyes heterophyes, Opistorchis felineus, Clonorchis sinensis
MOT: Ingestion of SNAIL Echinostoma ilocanum
MOT: Transplacental (3) (Try To-Go Plus) Toxoplasma gondii, Plasmodium spp., Trypanosoma cruzi
Most common sexually transmitted parasite Trichomonas vaginalis
Extreme itching of anal area PRURITUS ANI
Capable of Autoinfection (5) (CHETS) Cryptosporidium parvum Capaillaria phillipinensis Hymenolepis nana Enterobius vermicularis Taenia solium Strongyloides stercoralis
Soil Transmitted Parasites (HATS) Hookworms Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiuria Strongyloides stercoralis
Parasites able to perform heart to lung migration (ASH) Ascaris lumbricoides Strongyloides stercoralis Hookworms
PATHOGENESIS OF PARASITIC INFECTIONS: EGGS (4) (japan hema west hepa ) Schistosoma japonicum (intestinal mucosa) Schistosoma haematobium (urinary bladder) Paragonimus westermani (lungs) Fasciola hepatica (liver)

PATHOGENESIS OF PARASITIC INFECTIONS: ADULT STAGE (5) (ASH-Tray Tae) ASH Taenia spp. Trichuris trichiura
Parasite producing cysts (2) (GranoLium) Echinococcus granulosus – hydatid cyst Taenia solium – neurocysticercosis
Pathogenic Determinant: Cysteine proteinase: a hydrolytic enzyme=destruction of tissues leading to lytic necrosis Entamoeba histolytica
Produces enzymes that can cause digestion and necrosis of host cell. (3) (PLs Try) Plasmodium spp. Leishmania spp. Trypanosoma
CA: cercarial dermatitis Schistosomes
CA: anaphylaxis Ruptured hydatid cyst
CA: tropical pulmonary eosinophilia Occult filariasis
Stage in the life cycle of parasite that can be detected in the laboratory Diagnostic Stage
Stage in the life cycle of parasite that is capable of eliciting disease Infective Stage
