tsetse fly
Term
trypanosome that causes african sleeping sickness life cycle
Definition
1. taken from host in blood, transform and develop in midgut of tsetse
2.move to proventriculus, transform to epimastigotes
3. infect salivary glands, become metacyclic trypomastigotes
4. delivered in saliva to host and become long slender trypomastigotes
Term
african sleeping sickness infection symtoms
Definition
local ulcerating chancre, infects lymph glands and bloodstream
recurrent attacks of fever, loss of weight

Term
how often does trypanosome divide in african sleeping sickness
Definition
every 5-7 hours

Definition
milder chronic disease (african sleeping)
"western fly belt"
where human, water and forest coincide
antelope, domestic pig, sheep

Definition
acute form
enzootic cycle among game
subject to endemic out breaks
Term
tsetse family and genus
Definition

Term
tsetse fly life cycle
Definition
similar to house fly
adults suck blood
larviparous
Term
tsetse orientation to host
Definition
perch on branches and wait
will not enter houses
Term
what group transmits tb rhodensiense
Definition
glossina morsitans
Term
glossina morsitans
Definition
savanna and thicket species
feed on large suids and bovids and buchback, NOT HUMANS
Term
what group transmits t.b. ganbiense?
Definition
glossina palpalis
Term
glossina palpalis
Definition
riverside or lake shore
feed on human, crocodiles and bushback
Term
chagas disease parasite and vector
Definition
trypanosoma cruzi
kissing bug
Term
kissing bug life cycle
Definition
acquire trypanosomes in blood meal from host animal
trypanosomes multiply and develop in mid gut and hund gut of bug
convert to amastigotes then several other forms locally in gut
ultimately become epimastigotes
Term
how is trypanosome transmitted to humans to cause chagas disease?
Definition
liquid feces of tsetse infective on skin
infection by rubbing feces into bite or eye
Term
blood form of trypanosome
Definition
trypomastigote-elongate, pointed at both ends, flagellum
early in infection
Term
intracellular form of trypanosome
Definition
amastigote, rounded no flagellum
later in infection
cardiac and smooth muscles
Term
kissing bug family and genus
Definition
reduviidae
traitoma, rhodinous, etc
Term
kissing bug morphology
Definition
elongate, narrow, cylindrical head
piercing, sucking mouth parts
dark colored
abdomen
hemielytra 3 major veins
Term
kissing bug life cycle
Definition
dependent on order
live near nest
reach and infest new nests by flight
Term
trypanosomes relationship with host
Definition
wide range
peridomestic with humans
associated with forest animals
Term
leishmania vector and parasite
Definition
trypanosome
sand fly
Term
varieties of leishmania
Definition
l.donovani
l.tropica
l.chagasi
l.brasilensis
Term
life history of leishmania trypanosomes
Definition
taken up by fly
covert to promastigote
pharynx
skin
covert to amastigote
reside in phagocytic system
convert to mobile promastigotes
Term
behavior of leishmania in vertebrates
Definition
invade cells progressively destroy tissue
causes you to attack your own skin
Term
vertebrate hosts of leishmania
Definition
old world-rodents
new world-numerous
Term
sandfly genera (new and old world)
Definition
lutzomyia
phlebotomus
Term
sandfly morphology
Definition
small, tan, stilt like legs, long pointed wings, poor flier, nocturnal feeder
Term
where do larva and adults of leishmania reside in rain forests?
Definition
adults on tree trunks
larval habitat unknown
Term
where do larva and adults leishmania live in desert?
Definition
adult-rodent burrow, rock piles, ruins, caves
larva-rodent toilet chamber, barns
Term
leishmania feeding
Definition
females take blood and CHO
nocturnal
slashing and cutting mouthparts
feed from capillary fed pool
Term
apicomplexa was originally
Definition
sporozoa
Term
are apicomplexa an obligate intracellular parasite?
Definition
yes, during some part of life history
Term
what is unique about apicomplexa
Definition
apical complex and secretory structures
Term
what is apicomlexa closely related to
Definition
dinoflagellates
Term
major groups of apicomplexa
Definition
gregarina
coccidia
haemosporida
piroplasmida
Term
apicomplexa protozoa
Definition
sexual and asexual reproduction
always begins with infective sporozoite entering host cell
Term
merogony
Definition
sporozoite massivey grows (trophpzoite)
undergos multiple division, schizont (meroziotes)
cytoplasm cleaves around nuclei
merozoites infect other cells
Term
merozoites and gamogony
Definition
merozoites tranform into gamonts
gamonts form cyst (gamontocyst)
gamonts divide to form gametes
gametes fuse to form zygote
Term
zygote and sporogony
Definition
zygote gives rise to many spores and eventually sporozoites
Term
apicomplexa transmission
Definition
feces of host
predator eats infected prey
mosquitoes
Term
gregarines (apicomplexa)
Definition
marine worms and insect body cavities
sporogony
development outside of cell
Term
gregarine life cycle
Definition
sporozoite eaten by host
epithelial cells
trophozoite
gut epithilium
cells subdivide
trophozoites from pairs called syzgys
gamete formation
zygote
creates spores
Term
coccidia (apicomplexa)
Definition
tissue level parasitism
advanced
merogony
Term
coccidian life cycle
Definition
gamete fuse to form zygote
oocyst
spores
sporozoites
Term
eucoccidia (apicomplexa)
Definition
true coccidia
intracellular parasite
Term
eucoccidia life cycle
Definition
trophozoites
schizonts
merozoites
infect other cells
trophozoites go to gamonts instead of schizonts
