types of parasite hosts:
Definition
- Reservoir: maintain parasite and may be source of infection
- Intermediate: maintain parasite in asexual phase or allow development of larvae stage
- Definitive: maintains sexual stage adult parasite
Term
Parasite cyst that is transmitted by eating undercooked meats. Cysts hatch in intestines and produce large numbers.

- Toxoplasma
Term
trophozites with ingested RBCs:
Definition
Entomoeba histolytica
Term
Major cause of amebic dysentery, causes FLASK SHAPED INTESTINAL ULCERS with raised edges and necrotic centers. Can spread through blood to liver, lungs, and brain causing abscesses, liver dysfunction, pneumonitis, and encephalitis.
Definition
Entamoeba histolytica
Term
Amoebas that cause Meningoencephalitis and are identified as trophozoites in the CSF. Transmitted by water.

Definition
Naegleria fowleri
Term
Free living amoeba that is common in environment, found in most water sources, natural and treated (hot tobs, pools, sewage, shower heads). Most people will be exposed and not become ill.

Definition
Acanthosis Keratitis- BRIGHT TROPHOZOITES WITH PSEUDOPODIA AND DOUBLE WALLED CYSTS
Term
Flagellate parasite in tropical regions and camping places (Denver), PEAR SHAPED WITH HAIR LIKE FLAGELLA FOR MOTILITY. Attach to small intestine via SUCKING DISKS which cause flattening of microviilli. DIARRHEA AND MALABSORPTION> FOAMY FLOATING DIARRHEA AND WEIGHT LOSS.
Definition
Giardia lamblia

flagellated parasite that is HALF PEAR SHAPE, 4 ANTERIOR FLAGELLA, 1 LATERAL FLAGELLA, UNDULATING MEMBRANE, 2 AXOSTYLES ARRANGED ASSYMETRICALLY.
Definition
Trichomonas vaginalis
Term
Flagellated trophozite that DOES NOT HAVE CYST FORM, attaches to urogenital mucosa and causes inflammation and water discharge:
Definition
Trichomonas vaginalis
Term
Sporozoan parasite infection comes from cysts in CAT FECES or RAW PORK, usually asymptomatic or causes flue like symptoms and lymphadenopathy. Can be serious if pregnant> infects baby. In the immunosuppressed generalized parasitemia results causing brain, liver, and lung damage and often death.
Definition

Sporozoan obligate intracellular protazoan from female Anopheles mosquito. Immature trophozoites have RING FORM. Mature trophozoites have LARGE AMEBOID CYTOPLASMS WITH LARGE CHROMATIN AND YELLOW BROWNISH PIGMENT.
Definition
Plasmodia
Term
Sporozoan parasite that is the most likely cause of large number in community having diarrhea. Found in untreated water and resists chlorination. It attaches to intestinal walls but DOES NOT INVADE. OOCYTES VISIBLE WITH ACID FAST STAIN.
