1) Ascaris lumbricoides, or the roundworm, is a parasitic nematode that infects the small intestine of humans. It is widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions.
2) The adult female worm is 20-35 cm long and lays up to 200,000 eggs per day that are passed in feces. The eggs can survive for weeks in the environment before hatching.
3) Infection occurs through ingestion of embryonated eggs. The larvae hatch in the intestine, migrate through the body, and mature into adults in the small intestine where they reproduce, completing the life cycle. Heavy infections can cause intestinal obstruction, pancreatitis and other complications.

Taxonomy
Kingdome : Animalia
Phylum : Platyhelminths
Class : Trematoda
Order : Opisthorchiida
Family : Opisthorchiidae
Genus : Clonorchis
Species : C. sinensis
Introduction
•
Clonorchis is also known as the Chinese or oriental liver fluke.
Clonorchis is a liver fluke parasite (trematode or worm) that can
infect the liver, gallbladder, and bile duct.
food born parasite
Host
Definitive Hosts
First intermediate host must always be a snail, mainly
Parafossarulus manchouricus
Life cycle
•
Clonorchis sinensis eggs are discharged in the biliary ducts and in
the stool in an embryonated state
Eggs are ingested by a suitable snail (P. manchouricus)
intermediate host
Eggs release miracidia
which go through several developmental stages (sporocysts, rediae, and
cercariae).
The cercariae are released from the snail and, after a short period
of free-swimming time in water, they come in contact and
penetrate the flesh of freshwater fish, where they encyst as
metacercariae
Infection of humans occurs by ingestion of under cooked, salted,
pickled, or smoked freshwater fish
After ingestion, the metacercariae excyst in the duodenum
and ascend the biliary tract through the ampulla of Vater
Maturation takes approximately one month. The adult flukes
(measuring 10 to 25 mm by 3 to 5 mm) reside in small and
medium sized biliary ducts.
they lay eggs in intestine
the embryonated eggs release in stool.
The eggs are embryonated and contain the larvae called miracidia.
The sporocyst resembles a hollow and simple sac.
Oftentimes, the developing rediae are visible inside the sac.
Redia - At this larval stage, it retains a very simple worm structure.
In some ways, it still resembles a sac.
Pathogenesis
Liver flukes infect the liver, gallbladder, and bile duct in humans.
inflammation in biliary epithelium
Laboratory Findings
Blood routine test: eosinophilia, anemia in severe infection
coccidian parasite is a very important topic for pg entrance........so every important point about it have been discussed in detail......take a look at it...

Hookworm is one of the most important small intestinal nematodes causing iron deficiency anemia. This PPT illustrates hookworms associated with human diseases, life cycle, pathogenesis, laboratory diagnosis, treatment and prevention of hookworm infection.
They have been described from very ancient times, when it was sometimes confused with earthworm.
The specific name lumbricoids is derived from its resemblance with earthworm .
It is most common human helminths and is distributed worldwide.
The incidence may be high as 80-100% in rural areas with poor sanitation.

The incidence may be high as 80-100% in rural areas with poor sanitation.They are also known as Round worm.
Adult worm lives in the small intestine (85% in jejunum and 15% in ileum).
The roundworm, is the largest nematode parasite in the human intestine.Adult worm:-
They are large cylindrical worms, with tapering ends, the anterior end being more pointed than the posterior.
They are pale pink or flesh colored when freshly passed in stools, but become white outside the body.
The mouth at the anterior end has three finely toothed lips, one dorsal and two ventrolateral.
Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

and tend to have a curved tail.
Two equal size copulatory spicules in male.
vulvar waist in female.
Female lays nearly 200,000 eggs daily which are
passed in feces.
6. : Posterior end of a male A.
lumbricoides, showing the
curled tail.
Adult female A.
lumbricoides.
8. Egg
There are three kinds of the eggs
fertilized eggs
unfertilized eggs
decorticated eggs
Morphology
9. Fertilized egg:
an average size 60×45µm
Round or oval in shape
bile stained&brown in color
thick transparent shell
Innermost- lipoidal vitelline membrane .
Middle – thick transparent layer.
Outermost – mammillated Albuminoid layer.
large unsegmented ovum
There is a clear crescentric space at each pole.
Float in SSS.
Morphology
10. Unfertilized egg
Longer and slender than fertilized egg
90*55um.
Bile stained and brown in colour.
The shell and albuminous coat are thinner
Lipoidal membrane is absent,
Small atrophied ovum.
Do not float in SSS.
refractable granules various in size may be
present.
Morphology
13. Site of inhabitation: small intestine
Only single host
No intermediate host.
Infective stage: embryonated eggs
Route of infection: by feco-oral-route.
Life Cycle
14. Adult worms , live in the lumen of the small intestine.
Eggs passed in faeces.
Fertile eggs embryonate and become infective after 18 days
to several weeks , depending on the environmental
conditions (optimum: moist, warm, shaded soil).
After infective eggs are swallowed , the larvae hatch ,
invade the intestinal mucosa, and are carried via the
portal, then systemic circulation to the lungs .
Larva moult twice in the lungs (10 to 14 days), break
capillary & penetrate the alveolar walls, ascend the
bronchial tree crawl the epiglottis, and are swallowed .
Upon reaching the small intestine, they develop into adult
worms . After 12 weeks gravid female begin to discharge
eggs in stools.
Cycle is repeated.
15.
16. 1. Cause ascariasis.
2. Due to adult worm and migrating larva.
3. Malnutrition , night blindness, vit A def,, growt
retardation.
4. Intermittent colicky pain in intestine.
5. Mechanical obstruction.
6. Worms are RESTLESS WANDERERS. Insinuate
any aperture in their way.
7. Crawl out of mouth, ear. naris
Pathogenesis
17. Respiratory obstruction.
Wandering adults may block the appendical
lumen or the common bile duct and even
perforate the intestinal wall which cause
complications of ascariasis:
intestinal obstruction
Appendicitis
biliary ascariasis (the most common one)
perforation of the intestine
cholecystitis, pancreatitis and peritonitis
18.
19. Migrating larva
1. In repeated infections ,During the migration
through the lungs, the larvae may cause a
inflammatory and hypersensitivity reactions.
The symptoms of the pneumonia are low fever,
cough, blood-tinged sputum, asthma
The clinical manifestation is also called
Loeffler’s syndrome
20. feces are examined for the ascaris eggs
Direct fecal film: it is simple and effective
and is the first choice
recovery of adult worms: when adults or
adolescents are found in feces or vomit and
tissues. Barium meal can be done.
Serology- detect ascaris antibody by IHA and
IFA.
Eosinophilia
Ascaris pneumonitis: examination of sputum
for Ascaris larvae is sometimes
Diagnosis
21. Treatment to ascariasis: pyrantel palmoate
Mebendazole, are effective
Sanitary disposal of feces.
Hygienic habits such as cleaning of hands before
meals.
Health education.
Prevention
22. VISCERAL LARVA MIGRANS
caused by: Ingestion of embryonated eggs of
nematodes of animals like :
Toxocara canis
Toxocara cati
Angiostrongylus cantonensis
Anisakis simples
Larva hatch in small intestine
and migrate to liver.
23. Wherever larva settles it is attacked by phagocytic
cells: eosinophils, histiocytes, giant cells, leading
to granulomatous lesion.
Thus their progress is arrested and unlike ascaris
they do not convert in adults worms.
VLM: hypere-eosinophilia, hepatomegaly, or
pneumonia, fever,
Ocular larva migrans- end ophthalmitis.
Diagnosed by identification of larva in biopsy or
autopsy by IHA and IFA test.
