Introduction to class Trematoda and Fasciola hepatica
This document provides information about Fasciola hepatica (common liver fluke):
- It is a parasitic flatworm that infects the livers of mammals, including humans, causing the disease fascioliasis.
- It has an indirect life cycle involving an intermediate snail host, typically of the Lymnaea genus. Eggs are passed in feces and hatch into miracidia that infect snails, developing through sporocyst and redia stages into cercariae which encyst on vegetation as metacercariae and infect mammalian hosts.
- In mammals, immature flukes migrate through tissues before reaching the bile ducts as adults, where they reproduce, causing

Classification of flagellates and giardia lamblia
This document provides a classification of flagellates and details about Giardia lamblia. It describes the morphology, life cycle, transmission, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of G. lamblia. Key points:
- G. lamblia is a lumen-dwelling flagellate that infects the duodenum and jejunum.
- It exists in trophozoite and cyst forms, with the cyst being the infective form transmitted via contaminated food/water.
- Symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal pain and malabsorption. Diagnosis involves microscopic examination of cysts/trophozoites in stool or duodenal samples. Treatment is with metronidazole or related drugs
Fasiola
Fascioliasis, or liver fluke disease, is caused by Fasciola hepatica and F. gigantica parasites infecting ruminants. It is transmitted when animals ingest fluke-contaminated snails or vegetation. Chronic infection can cause reduced productivity and mortality in sheep and cattle. Prevention focuses on controlling the intermediate snail host population through drainage, molluscicides or biological controls. Regular targeted deworming using triclabendazole or other fluke treatments can also control infection levels and pasture contamination.
Liverfluke
Liver fluke outbreaks in cattle and sheep in Scotland have been increasing since the early 2000s, with 29% of cattle affected in early 2004. Warmer and wetter weather due to global warming, combined with changes in farming practices such as dosing sheep but not cattle, have contributed to the rise in cases. To control outbreaks, farmers must consider local environmental factors that support fluke habitats and implement targeted dosing plans using effective flukicides at key times of the year. Monitoring for resistance is also important given some reports of triclabendazole resistance in fluke affecting sheep.
Taenia spp..
This document summarizes key information about Taenia species, including T. saginata, T. solium, T. asiatica, and T. multiceps. It describes the medically important species, diseases they cause, hosts, morphology, life cycles, transmission, diagnosis and treatment. T. saginata and T. solium cause taeniasis in humans. T. solium can also cause cysticercosis, which can lead to seizures. T. saginata uses cattle as an intermediate host while T. solium uses pigs. Diagnosis involves examining stool for eggs or proglottids. Cysticercosis is diagnosed via imaging, biopsy or serology. Treatment

2nd lecture of fasciolahepatica by Waqas Ahmad shams
Fasciola hepatica, commonly known as the liver fluke, is a parasitic flatworm that infects the livers of sheep, cattle, and sometimes humans. It is found worldwide in temperate and tropical regions. The life cycle involves eggs passing from the host's feces and hatching in water, where miracidia infect snail hosts. In the snail, the parasite undergoes asexual reproduction and emerges as cercariae that encyst on vegetation as metacercariae. Hosts become infected by eating this contaminated vegetation, and the parasites migrate to the liver to mature and reproduce by releasing eggs into the bile ducts and feces, completing the life cycle. Symptoms in humans range

Taenia saginata
Taenia saginata, or the beef tapeworm, infects humans who consume undercooked beef containing the parasite's larval cysticerci stage. In humans, the tapeworm lives attached to the small intestine and can grow to 10-25 meters in length. Transmission occurs when people ingest the parasite's eggs from contaminated food, water, or soil. The lifecycle involves cattle becoming infected by eating grass contaminated with T. saginata eggs excreted by humans. The infection is usually asymptomatic but can cause mild digestive symptoms. Diagnosis involves finding the parasite's proglottid segments or eggs in stool samples. Treatment is with praziquantel or niclosamide medication. Control relies on proper
Liver flukes
This document describes the liver fluke Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica. It details their taxonomy, life cycle, transmission, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment. Fasciola species have a complex life cycle involving an aquatic snail as the first intermediate host and water plants as the second intermediate host. Humans and ruminants can become infected by ingesting metacercariae on contaminated water plants or water. Infection causes fascioliasis and symptoms range from asymptomatic to abdominal pain. Diagnosis involves finding eggs in stool or through serology. Treatment includes drugs like bithionol and triclabendazole.
Arrested larval development
Arrested larval development or hypobiosis allows nematodes to survive adverse environmental conditions by temporarily ceasing development at a precise stage. This ensures the parasite's survival during periods of adversity. When conditions improve, arrested larvae resume development, increasing environmental contamination and potentially causing disease. The periparturient rise in faecal egg counts occurs around birthing and is caused by a temporary relaxation in immunity, leading to increased parasite establishment, reproduction, and contamination risk for new hosts. Nematodes like Haemonchus contortus are blood-sucking parasites of ruminants that cause anaemia and clinical disease. Dictyocaulus viviparus causes parasitic bronchitis in ruminants and horses through a direct life
Trematode
The document discusses several species of trematodes (parasitic flatworms) that infect humans, including their life cycles, transmission, pathogenesis, clinical findings, and diagnosis. It covers the important trematodes Schistosoma (blood flukes), Clonorchis sinensis (liver fluke), Paragonimus westermani (lung fluke), Fasciola hepatica, and Fasciolopsis buski. It provides details on the life cycles, symptoms, and laboratory diagnosis of Schistosoma and Fasciola infections.
E. histolytica
This document discusses Entamoeba histolytica, an intestinal protozoan parasite. It covers the classification, geographical distribution, life cycle, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of E. histolytica. Key points include that E. histolytica causes amoebiasis and can lead to intestinal or extra-intestinal infections. Symptoms range from mild diarrhea to severe dysentery.

Prevention focuses on proper sanitation and water treatment to avoid contamination.
Entamoeba histolytica 2020
This document provides an overview of Entamoeba, including its classification, morphology, life cycle, virulence factors, transmission, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment. Key points include:
- Entamoeba histolytica is a pathogenic protozoan that can cause intestinal and extra-intestinal infections like amoebic dysentery and liver abscess.
- It has three morphological stages - trophozoite, precystic, and cystic stages. Trophozoites cause tissue invasion and disease.
- The infective transmissive stage is the mature quadrinucleated cyst which is ingested and excysts in the intestine.
- Virulence factors like lect
Taenia saginata
Taenia saginata is a tapeworm species that infects cattle and humans. Its eggs are 30-35 micrometers in size, radially striated, and contain an oncosphere with 6 refractile hooks. Adult T. saginata can grow up to 10 meters long, have a scolex with 4 suckers but lack a rostellum or hooks. The larval stage infects cattle and is called Cysticercus bovis. Diagnosis involves finding eggs in feces or intact gravid proglotids using direct smear, brine flotation, or cellophane tape techniques while an acid fast stain distinguishes T. saginata eggs which test positive.
PROTEUS MIRABILIS slideshare presentation
Proteus is a gram-negative bacteria commonly found in the gut that can cause urinary tract infections. It is motile due to flagella and has a fishy odor. P. mirabilis and P. vulgaris are medically important species, with P. mirabilis causing most UTIs through production of urease which hydrolyzes urea to ammonia, raising urine pH. Symptoms include urethritis, cystitis and pyelonephritis. It is identified in culture through swarming motility and biochemical tests. Virulence factors include urease, hemolytic toxins, and motility. Treatment involves antibiotics like beta-lactams, aminoglycosides and fluor
Entamoeba histolytica
This document discusses Entamoeba histolytica and amebiasis. It notes that E. histolytica infections are usually asymptomatic in 90% of cases caused by non-pathogenic strains, while 10% of cases caused by pathogenic strains can result in symptomatic infection. The route of infection is oral through ingestion of contaminated food or water containing cysts. Clinical features of amebiasis include amebic colitis, fulminating enterocolitis, ameboma, and amebic liver abscess. Amebic colitis presents with symptoms like diarrhea with blood or mucus, or both, and weight loss. Complications can include anemias or megacolon.
Taenia solium, saginata & neurocysticercosis
Taenia infestations are caused by parasitic flatworms (cestodes) that have complex life cycles involving an intermediate and definitive host. The most common types that infect humans are Taenia saginata and Taenia solium. T. saginata uses cattle as the intermediate host and humans as the definitive host, causing beef tapeworm infection. T. solium uses pigs and sometimes humans as intermediate hosts, and humans as the definitive host, causing both pork tapeworm infection and the potentially serious condition of cysticercosis when ingested eggs develop into cysticerci larvae in tissues. Symptoms depend on the location of the cysticerci but can include seizures, headaches, and hydrocephalus if in
Parasitic infestations of the biliary tract
Fascioliasis is caused by the liver fluke Fasciola hepatica. It has a complex life cycle involving freshwater snails and aquatic plants. Infection causes acute and chronic symptoms from larval migration and adult fluke presence in the biliary tract. Diagnosis involves serology, stool exams, imaging. Triclabendazole is treatment. Biliary ascariasis occurs when the roundworm Ascaris lumbricoides enters the biliary tract, potentially causing pain, cholangitis, or pancreatitis. It is diagnosed via imaging, stool/blood tests and treated with antihelminthics or endoscopic/surgical removal of worms.
Med helmenths lec_3rd.
Helmentic infections can be caused by roundworms, tapeworms, and flukes. Roundworm infections include enterobius vermicularis (pinworm), ascariasis (roundworm), trichuriasis (whipworm), and hookworm. Tapeworm infections include taeniasis caused by Taenia saginata and Taenia solium. Fluke infections include schistosomiasis caused by several Schistosoma species. Symptoms vary depending on the parasite but can include abdominal pain, diarrhea, blood in urine or stool, and malnutrition. Diagnosis involves examining stool or biopsy samples microscopically for parasite eggs. Treatment involves antiparasitic medications.
F.hepatica
Fasciola hepatica, commonly known as the sheep liver fluke, is a parasitic flatworm that infects the livers of sheep and other ruminants. It resides in the bile ducts of infected animals and passes eggs through their feces that hatch in water and infect freshwater snails, developing through several stages before releasing larvae that encyst on aquatic plants. Humans become infected by ingesting these encysted larvae on plants like watercress, after which the fluke migrates through the body and lives/reproduces in the bile ducts, potentially causing liver damage and symptoms like jaundice. Diagnosis involves finding eggs in stool or bile samples, and treatment uses antihelmintic
Isospora
This document discusses coccidian protozoa, an obligate intestinal parasite found worldwide in subtropical and tropical regions. It has a complex life cycle involving both sexual and asexual reproduction. Symptoms in humans include diarrhea, abdominal pain, and weight loss. It is transmitted through the fecal-oral route due to ingestion of contaminated food or water in areas with poor sanitation. Diagnosis involves finding oocysts in stool samples under a microscope. Treatment involves antibiotics like trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole. Prevention relies on proper sanitation and hygiene practices.
Entamoeba histolytica -amoebiasis
Intestinal and extraintestinal amoebiasis can be diagnosed through microscopic examination of stool samples, culture of stool in various media, serological tests, molecular diagnosis, and radiological examinations. Stool examination involves microscopic evaluation for trophozoites and cysts with iodine or trichrome staining. Stool culture uses media such as Boeck and Drbohlav. Serological tests include IHA, ELISA, and latex agglutination. Extraintestinal amoebiasis diagnosis involves microscopy or biopsy of aspirated pus or tissue, along with serological tests and radiological exams like ultrasound, CT, or MRI scans of affected organs. Treatment involves luminal, tissue, or combined a
Taenia solium
Taenia solium, the pork tapeworm, is a parasitic flatworm that can cause both taeniasis and cysticercosis in humans. It has a worldwide distribution except where pork is not consumed. The adult worm lives in the small intestine and eggs passed in stool can infect pigs, causing the larval stage cysticercus cellulosae. Humans can also become infected by ingesting eggs, with the larvae then developing in tissues throughout the body, commonly in muscles and the brain. Symptoms vary depending on the infected tissue but can include seizures, hydrocephalus, and neurological or psychiatric disturbances in neurocysticercosis. Diagnosis involves finding eggs, proglottids or antigens in
Clonorchis sinensis - Oriental Liver Flukes
Clonorchis sinensis, commonly known as the oriental liver fluke, is a parasite that infects the livers of humans. It is found primarily in Asia, where an estimated 30 million people are currently infected. People become infected by eating raw or undercooked freshwater fish that contain the parasite's larvae. The larvae hatch in the intestines and migrate to the bile ducts of the liver where they mature into adult flukes. Long-term infection can lead to liver inflammation, enlargement, and over time cirrhosis or cholangiocarcinoma if left untreated. Praziquantel is the drug of choice for treating infections.
Entamoeba coli
Entamoeba coli is a non-pathogenic species of Entamoeba that commonly lives in the human gut. It is important for doctors to distinguish E. coli from the pathogenic Entamoeba histolytica under the microscope since they look similar. E. coli has trophozoites that are 12-55 micrometers and cysts that are 8-35 micrometers, with 1-8 nuclei. It colonizes the intestines after ingesting cysts and the trophozoites produce more cysts that are passed in stool. Stool examination can detect E. coli trophozoites and cysts, but infections usually do not cause symptoms so treatment is not needed.
Salmonella abotusovis
Salmonella Abortusovis is a gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that causes abortion in ewes. It is transmitted through ingestion of contaminated materials from infected animals. The bacterium localizes in the placenta, causing plancentitis and abortion typically in the last 4-6 weeks of gestation. Infected ewes can remain asymptomatic carriers shedding the pathogen in their feces and vaginal discharge for up to 6 months. Diagnosis involves isolating the bacteria from aborted fetal tissues or uterine discharges and confirming through PCR or serological tests. Control relies on isolation of infected animals, proper disposal of fetal tissues, and disinfection of facilities.

Dr. Darin Madson - CNS Disease diagnostics
Central nervous system disease in nursery pigs can have many presentations and is not always caused by Streptococcus suis. A thorough clinical observation is important to help localize the potential location of insult in the cerebrum, cerebellum, or spinal cord. Sample submission including meningeal swabs, brain, spinal cord, ileum, and serum can help determine differentials such as bacterial meningitis, viral disease, salt toxicity, or nutritional deficiencies through diagnostic testing. Proper sample collection and localization of clinical signs are key to arriving at an accurate etiology.

Dr. Mike Eisenmenger - Driving Pig Performance in a Changing World of Antibio...
This document discusses goals and strategies for driving pig performance while reducing antibiotic usage. The goals are excellent nursery to finish performance metrics and health while limiting antibiotic treatment and environmental issues. Key strategies include maintaining high health status, eliminating diseases, focused biosecurity, and robust vaccination programs. Ileitis control is used as an example, where uncontrolled outbreaks can increase mortality, medication costs, and antibiotic usage, particularly late in finishing. Mass vaccination programs for ileitis are presented as a reliable and predictable method of control that reduces antibiotic usage, residues, and risk compared to continuous or pulse feed medications.
Arthrology
The document summarizes the articulations of the vertebral column and ribs in dogs, horses and oxen. It describes the four main types of joints: 1) atlanto-occidital joint, 2) atlanto-axial joint, 3) joints of the articular processes, and 4) costo-vertebral joints. For each joint, it provides the participating bones, joint form, and functional movements allowed in dogs, horses and oxen. The articulations are mainly pivot, plane, hinge and composite joints that allow flexion, rotation and sliding movements of the vertebral column and ribs.

AASV2016_finalposter
The study analyzed 139 fecal samples from 15 age groups of pigs on a farm experiencing acute diarrhea to determine prevalence and viral load of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGE), porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV), and rotavirus (RVA, RVB, RVC). PEDV was present in all samples and age groups but with significantly higher viral loads in post-weaned pigs. TGE and PDCoV were rarely detected. Rotaviruses were detected exclusively in post-weaned pigs. The results suggest PEDV incidence and load may depend on age and some viruses were co-infecting pigs.
Rotavirus kellermann 20121129
Rotavirus is a major cause of childhood diarrhea and mortality globally, disproportionately affecting children in developing countries. While two vaccines are available, they have shown reduced effectiveness in developing countries possibly due to differences in strain diversity, malnutrition, and breastfeeding practices. New vaccine candidates targeting regional strains are in development. A holistic approach considering economic constraints, alternative interventions, and long-term solutions like infrastructure and nutrition improvements may maximize the public health impact of rotavirus prevention efforts.

Poster 68 microbiologie
Rotavirus genotypes circulating in Tunisia from 2008-2009 were characterized. Rotavirus was detected in 23% of stool samples tested, with G3 emerging as the predominant genotype during this period, unlike previous studies where G1 was most common. Two P genotypes (P[8] and P[4]) were identified. The detection of multiple strains indicates gene reassortment occurs during natural infections. Ongoing surveillance is needed to monitor circulating Tunisian rotavirus strains.

colibacillosis.pptcolibacillosis.ppt colibacillosis.pptcolibacillosis.ppt
Colibacillosis is caused by pathogenic E. coli infection. It commonly affects newborn livestock and causes two main types of disease: 1) enteric colibacillosis, characterized by varying degrees of diarrhea, dehydration, and death if untreated; and 2) septicemic colibacillosis, a severe illness causing rapid death. Key factors contributing to disease include failure of passive transfer of immunity from mother to offspring, exposure to the bacteria before ingesting colostrum, and poor hygiene and weather conditions. Virulence factors like adhesins and enterotoxins allow certain E. coli strains to colonize the intestine and cause diarrhea.
Taenia saginata
general characteristics, morphology, history, epidimeology, life cycle, pathogenesis and lab diagnosis.
Yersinia entero
Yersinia enterocolitica is a pathogenic Gram-negative bacterium. It is commonly found in the intestines of pigs and can be transmitted to humans through contaminated food, especially undercooked pork. In humans, it causes gastrointestinal illness known as yersiniosis. Symptoms include diarrhea, fever, and abdominal pain. While usually self-limiting, it can occasionally lead to complications affecting the joints, heart, or thyroid. Proper food handling and cooking pork thoroughly can help prevent yersiniosis.
Lecture 19 (Tapeworms).pptx
- Taenia saginata and Taenia solium are two common tapeworms that infect humans. T. saginata, the beef tapeworm, passes between humans and cattle, while T. solium, the pork tapeworm, passes between humans and pigs.
- Both have a life cycle involving an adult tapeworm in the human small intestine and a larval cyst stage in cattle (for T. saginata) or pigs (for T. solium). Humans can become infected by eating undercooked beef or pork containing the cysts.
- Intestinal infection is usually asymptomatic but cysticercosis, occurring when the larval cysts establish in tissues like brain or muscle,
Lect 5 Taeniasis 2021.pdf
This document summarizes information about the beef tapeworm Taenia saginata, including its morphology, life cycle, pathogenesis, treatment, and prevention. It inhabits the human small intestine and can survive for up to 25 years. The adult worm passes eggs in feces that are ingested by cattle and develop into cysticerci larvae in muscle. Humans are infected by eating undercooked beef containing the larvae. Symptoms of infection include abdominal pain and anemia. Treatment involves niclosamide or mebendazole to kill the adult worm. Thorough cooking of beef prevents transmission.
Diarrhea & Enterocolitis

For each tissue sample, the pathologists provide a microscopic diagnosis (MDx) along with differential diagnoses (DDx) considering alternative potential conditions. The number of differential diagnoses provided for each sample ranges from 2 to 4 alternative conditions considered.
Bone rounds 3 1-11
This document discusses several nutritional disorders that can occur in chickens including rickets, manganese deficiency, riboflavin deficiency, and others. Rickets is caused by calcium or phosphorus deficiencies and results in bending of bones. Manganese deficiency causes chondrodystrophy, displacing the gastrocnemius tendon. Riboflavin deficiency causes curled toe paralysis. Nutritional deficiencies can be caused by inadequate levels of vitamins and minerals like calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D3, thiamine, riboflavin, pyridoxine, and manganese.
Musculoskeletal tumors
Musculoskeletal tumors can originate from a multistep accumulation of mutations leading to unregulated cell proliferation. Osteosarcoma is the most common type of bone tumor, arising from osteoblasts. It is diagnosed through radiography, cytology, and histopathology. Grading is based on features like pleomorphism and mitoses. Treatment involves surgery with chemotherapy. Variants include osteoblastic, chondroblastic, telangiectatic and fibroblastic subtypes. Multilobular tumor of bone is a slow growing but potentially malignant tumor appearing as islands of bone or cartilage surrounded by spindle cells. Chondrosarcoma arises from cartilage and osteochondroma involves cartilage capped bone protrusions.

Parvoviral myocarditis in puppies
All 4 puppies submitted for evaluation showed signs of heart failure and respiratory distress. On post-mortem examination, 3 of the 4 puppies showed gross lesions consistent with heart failure, including pulmonary edema and congestion. Microscopic examination found histologic lesions typical of parvoviral myocarditis in the hearts of all 3 puppies examined, including lymphocytic inflammation and intranuclear inclusions. Immunohistochemistry confirmed the presence of canine parvovirus-2 in the hearts of 2 puppies. No other significant infectious agents were identified in the heart or lungs of the puppies.
Musculoskeletal group case 1
Both pigs had a vitamin E and selenium deficiency which led to increased free radicals and oxidative cell injury. This caused massive liver necrosis in Pig 1. Pig 2 had a gastric ulcer and epicardial hemorrhage due to microangiopathy from the deficiency. Both pigs also had skeletal muscle necrosis and calcification because the deficiency damaged cell membranes and mitochondria.
