This document summarizes two blood parasites that can infect dogs: Dirofilaria immitis and Dipetalonema reconditum. Dirofilaria immitis causes heartworm disease in dogs and spreads via mosquitoes, residing in the heart and lungs and causing symptoms like coughing. Diagnosis involves blood tests and x-rays. Prevention relies on monthly preventative medications while treatment is difficult and stressful for the dog. Dipetalonema reconditum resides subcutaneously and spreads via fleas, producing microfilariae but not causing disease. It is differentiated from Dirofilaria immitis by microfilariae size and characteristics under microscopy.

Bovine respiratory syncytial virus (brsv)
Bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) forms syncytial cells in cattle and is related to human BRSV. It has a high morbidity rate among calves aged 0-20 weeks and is transmitted via respiratory aerosols or direct contact. Vaccination for BRSV lacks efficiency and some research has shown apparent disease enhancement upon challenge. Diagnosis involves nasal swabs within 6 days of infection and gross necropsy may show severe pulmonary edema and interstitial emphysema. Treatment focuses on supportive care, antimicrobials, and anti-inflammatory drugs. Vaccination is recommended after maternal antibodies decline using inactivated or modified live vaccines but protection is short-lived requiring frequent revaccination.
Endoparasites
This document discusses various endoparasites that can infect horses internally, including protozoa, roundworms, tapeworms, and others. It provides details on the life cycles, hosts, and clinical signs of important parasites like cyathostomes, Strongylus vulgaris, Parascaris equorum, and more. Prevention, control, and treatment involve sanitation, deworming, and the use of anthelmintic medications to remove parasites and break their life cycles.
Spirochetosis
The bacterium Borrelia anserina infects various bird species like chickens, causing morbidity and mortality rates up to 100%. It is transmitted by the soft tick Argas persicus and infected feces. B. anserina can survive outside a host within A. persicus for up to 430 days. Another intestinal spirochete, Brachyspira pilosicoli, is associated with large intestine inflammation in birds and mammals and has been linked to typhlitis, diarrhea, reduced egg production, and egg soiling in chickens.

The presentation covers integrated parasite management (IPM): host immunity, pasture and grazing management, nutrition, management, and genetics. The presentation is by Susan Schoenian, University of Maryland Extension Sheep & Goat Specialist.
1003127 heart-worm
1. Dirofilaria immitis, commonly known as dog heartworm, is a parasitic roundworm found in the hearts and associated blood vessels of domestic and wild canines.
2. The parasite has a complex lifecycle involving mosquitoes as an intermediate host. Microfilariae are transmitted between canine hosts when a mosquito takes a blood meal.
3. Adult heartworms can cause severe lung disease and heart failure in infected dogs if left untreated. Diagnosis involves blood tests and imaging exams like chest x-rays. Treatment aims to eliminate both adult worms and microfilariae.
Lecture 1
Trichostrongyloidea are small parasitic worms that infect the digestive tract of animals. Ostertagia is a genus of these worms that infects ruminants and causes parasitic gastritis. Ostertagia ostertagi specifically infects cattle. The life cycle is direct with eggs passed in feces and infective larvae ingestion causing infection. This can cause ostertagiasis, characterized by diarrhea, edema, and weight loss. Type I disease occurs in young cattle in summer while Type II occurs in older cattle in spring due to arrested larvae development. Diagnosis involves fecal egg counts and treatment uses anthelmintics effective against different larval stages.
Fever - disturbance in general systemic state
This document discusses abnormal body temperatures including fever, hyperthermia, and hypothermia. It provides details on the causes, pathogenesis, clinical findings, and treatment of fever. Key points include: Fever is defined as a rise in core body temperature above normal limits independent of ambient conditions, often caused by infection, immune reaction, or tissue damage. Pathogenesis involves exogenous pyrogens stimulating cells to produce endogenous pyrogens like interleukin-1 and -6 that raise the hypothalamic temperature set point. Fever progresses through increment, fastigium, and decrement stages. Treatment involves antimicrobials, antipyretics, and anti-inflammatories.
Internal Parasites Update
This document provides information from a presentation on internal parasites for sheep given at the Meat Sheep Alliance of Florida Fall Symposium. The presentation covered topics including the American Consortium for Small Ruminant Parasite Control, an overview of common parasites, anthelmintics (dewormers), anthelmintic resistance, and alternative parasite control methods. It discussed common gastrointestinal parasites of sheep, described various anthelmintic drug classes and resistance issues, and emphasized the importance of integrated parasite management to prevent further development of anthelmintic resistance.

Heartworm
Heartworm is a parasitic roundworm spread through mosquito bites between hosts. It infects dogs, cats, wolves and other animals. Early infection may show no symptoms, but later symptoms can include coughing, fatigue after exercise, weight loss, and fainting as the worms accumulate in the heart and lungs, eventually causing heart failure if left untreated. Diagnosis involves blood tests to detect microfilariae or antigens or chest x-rays to assess lung damage. Treatment requires a drug to kill adult worms along with restricted exercise for several weeks to prevent further damage. Monthly preventative medications including ivermectin, milbemycin or selamectin can reduce the risk of infection.
Canine heartworms
Heartworm disease is a serious disease caused by parasitic worms in dogs, cats, and other mammals that is spread through mosquito bites. It affects the heart and lungs and can be fatal if left untreated. While preventative medication can stop the spread, infected animals may require extensive treatment involving killing the adult worms which can lead to complications if the animal is not closely monitored and kept quiet during recovery.
Ear Infection in Dogs: Causes, Treatments and Prevention
Dogs mostly suffer from Ear infection but they are often ignored and left untreated. Ear infections are most commonly caused by bacteria and yeast. Ear infections are also of different types. This Presentation gives us information about types, symptoms, causes and prevention of ear infection. Take some time off to watch this presentation.

Introduction to Veterinary Parasitology
This document provides an overview of veterinary parasitology. It defines key terms like parasites, symbiosis, and host/symbiont relationships. It describes different parasitic life cycles including direct, indirect, and those with both direct and indirect cycles. It outlines the classification of parasites according to the Linnaean taxonomy system. Finally, it discusses common laboratory tests for diagnosing parasites like fecal exams and blood testing. The overall goal is to learn about parasite biology, life cycles, treatment, prevention, and the role of laboratory testing in diagnosis.
Parvo viral infection
Canine parvovirus (CPV) is a highly contagious and relatively common cause of acute, infectious GI illness in young dogs. Although its exact origin is unknown, it is believed to have arisen from feline panleukopenia virus or a related parvovirus of nondomestic animals. It is a nonenveloped, single-stranded DNA virus, resistant to many common detergents and disinfectants, as well as to changes in temperature and pH. Infectious CPV can persist indoors at room temperature for at least 2 mo; outdoors, if protected from sunlight and desiccation, it can persist for many months and possibly years.
Malignant catarrhal fever
Malignant catarrhal fever is a fatal disease of cattle characterized by inflammation of the nasal and oral mucosa, eye issues like keratoconjunctivitis, encephalitis, dehydration, and enlarged lymph nodes. It is caused by ovine herpesvirus-1 and alcelaphine herpesvirus-2 which are transmitted from wildbeast to cattle over 2-8 weeks. Clinical signs include nasal and ocular discharge, mouth sores, skin lesions, and high fever. There are no reliable diagnostic tests. Prevention focuses on limiting contact between susceptible cattle and natural virus hosts like sheep and wildebeest.
Non bursate nematodes
This document describes the morphological features of various non-bursate nematode parasites. It discusses the key characteristics of parasites from the orders Ascaridida, Rhabditida, Spirurida, and Dracunculoidea. For each genus and species, it provides details on the size, location in the host, sexual dimorphism, and distinguishing anatomical features like lips, esophagus, tail structure, and egg morphology. The summary focuses on the taxonomic classification and some defining parasitic traits of important non-bursate nematodes.
Cystitis in domestic animals
This document discusses cystitis, or inflammation of the urinary bladder. It notes that cystitis can be caused by trauma, ascending or descending infections, iatrogenic factors, nutritional issues, urinary stasis, hyperadrenocorticism, diabetes mellitus, and rare neoplasms. Common symptoms in dogs and cats include frequent and painful urination, cloudy urine, abdominal pain, and dullness. Diagnosis involves urinalysis, culture and sensitivity testing, ultrasound or cystoscopy. Treatment focuses on removing the cause, managing pain and inflammation, flushing out organisms, correcting urine pH, and controlling infections with antibiotics based on sensitivity testing.

Dog heartworm disease is caused by the nematode Dirofilaria immitis infecting dogs and other canids through mosquito vectors. It causes blockages in major blood vessels leading to reduced blood flow and damage to organs like the lungs, liver and kidneys. Common symptoms include coughing, difficulty breathing, weakness and rapid pulse. Diagnosis is through blood tests detecting microfilariae or antibodies. Treatment aims to eliminate adult worms and microfilariae while limiting complications from dying worms through limited exercise and monitoring for issues like disseminated intravascular coagulation.
Lecture 13 filarids
This document summarizes several filarial worm species that infect various animal hosts. It describes the definitive and intermediate hosts, geographic distribution, morphology, life cycle stages, sites of infection, pathogenesis and clinical signs, diagnosis, treatment, and public health significance for each species. The species discussed include Dirofilaria immitis (heartworm), Dipetalonema reconditum, Onchocerca volvulus, Wuchereria bancrofti, and Setaria spp.
Spirochaetes
Spirochetes are long, helical, motile bacteria that include the genera Treponema, Borrelia, and Leptospira. Treponema pallidum causes syphilis, presenting initially with a chancre then secondary and latent stages before potential progression to tertiary disease. Borrelia burgdorferi causes Lyme disease transmitted by ticks, presenting with a skin lesion and flu-like symptoms. These spirochetes are diagnosed via microscopy, culture, and serology. Penicillin is the treatment of choice for diseases caused by Treponema and Borrelia.

it can not be easily cure but it is easy to prevent and revolution is one of the best medication for your pet to prevent heartworm in them.
FILARIASIS.ppt
Lymphatic filariasis is caused by parasitic roundworms transmitted through mosquito bites. It affects over 120 million people globally and causes lymphedema, elephantiasis, and hydrocele. Symptoms range from none to acute filarial fever and chronic manifestations like lymphangitis and lymphedema. Diagnosis involves demonstrating microfilariae in blood or detecting antigens. Treatment focuses on interrupting transmission through mass drug administration and managing morbidity by treating acute attacks, lymphedema, and hydrocele.
SS_Paper_Richardson
This document discusses Dirofilaria immitis (heartworm) prevention in dogs. It describes the heartworm lifecycle and risks to dogs. Four common preventatives are compared: ivermectin, selamectin, milbemycin oxime, and moxidectin. Two studies found that ivermectin, selamectin and milbemycin oxime had efficacy rates over 95%, while moxidectin had 100% efficacy even after 30 days, indicating it provides the longest-lasting protection against heartworm infection. Moxidectin's longer protection is important as owners sometimes forget daily preventative doses.
Malaria and Dengue PPT
This document provides information on communicable diseases like malaria and dengue. It discusses the causative agents, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of these diseases. Malaria is caused by plasmodium parasites and transmitted by mosquitoes. Symptoms include fever every 3-4 days. Treatment involves antimalarial drugs like chloroquine and primaquine. Dengue is caused by dengue virus and spread by Aedes mosquitoes. It presents as flu-like symptoms and in severe cases can lead to dengue hemorrhagic fever or dengue shock syndrome. Diagnosis is by antibody testing and treatment focuses on fluid replacement and monitoring for complications.
Malaria
This document provides an overview of malaria, including its transmission, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and nursing management. Malaria is transmitted through the bites of infected Anopheles mosquitoes carrying Plasmodium parasites. The parasites travel to the liver and then infect red blood cells, causing symptoms such as fever, chills, and anemia. Diagnosis involves blood smears to identify the Plasmodium species. Treatment depends on the species and drug resistance patterns, and may involve chloroquine, primaquine, or other antimalarial drugs. Prevention focuses on reducing mosquito bites through various protective measures.

Lymphatic filariasis.pptx
Lymphatic filariasis, commonly referred to as elephantiasis, is a neglected tropical disease caused by tiny parasitic worms spread by mosquitos.
People with the disease can suffer from lymphedema and elephantiasis and in men, swelling of the scrotum, called hydrocele. Lymphatic filariasis is a leading cause of permanent disability worldwide
Lymphoedema, elephantiasis and scrotal swelling occur later in life and can lead to permanent disability.
Lymphatic filariasis is caused by infection with parasites classified as nematodes (roundworms) of the family Filariodidea.
The worms can live for approximately 6–8 years and, during their lifetime, produce millions of microfilariae (immature larvae) that circulate in the blood.
Microfilariae mature into infective larvae within the mosquito or black fly. When infected mosquitoes bite people, mature parasite larvae are deposited on the skin from where they can enter the body.
The larvae then migrate to the lymphatic vessels where they develop into adult worms.
Malaria
This document provides an overview of malaria, including:
1. Malaria is caused by Plasmodium parasites transmitted via the bites of infected Anopheles mosquitoes. The four main species infecting humans are P. falciparum, P. vivax, P. ovale, and P. malariae.
2. Symptoms include fever, chills, sweating, headaches and muscle pains. Complications can include severe anemia, respiratory distress, organ failure and death.
3. Diagnosis is based on symptoms and microscopic examination or rapid diagnostic tests of blood samples. Treatment involves antimalarial drugs depending on the infecting parasite species. Prevention focuses on reducing mosquito bites and limiting mosquito
Treponema pallidum
Treponema pallidum is a spirochete bacterium that causes syphilis. It is thin and delicate, about 10 micrometers in length, and actively motile. T. pallidum cannot be grown in culture but can be seen microscopically using dark-field illumination or silver staining. Syphilis has stages including primary, secondary, latent, and tertiary, and can involve multiple organs if untreated. Diagnosis involves microscopic examination of samples or serological tests to detect antibodies. Penicillin is the treatment of choice.
Pathophysiology and management of Malaria

11. INSECT-BORNE DISEASE.pdf
Malaria is caused by a parasite transmitted via mosquito bites. It causes cyclical fevers and other flu-like symptoms. The parasite travels to the liver and bloodstream, infecting and destroying red blood cells. Early diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent severe illness and death. Control relies on preventing mosquito bites, chemoprophylaxis for travelers, larviciding, and rapid treatment of cases.
Malaria-Parasitorology, clinical features, pathogenesis and treatment.pdf
This document provides an overview of malaria, including its causative parasites, life cycle, pathogenesis, clinical features, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. It covers the key points that malaria is caused by Plasmodium parasites transmitted via mosquito bites, P. falciparum being the most lethal species. The parasite life cycle involves liver, blood, and mosquito stages. P. falciparum causes severe disease via cytoadherence in blood vessels. Clinical features range from non-specific fever to life-threatening complications like cerebral malaria. Diagnosis requires blood smear or rapid test. Treatment depends on severity, with artemisinin-based combination therapy for uncomplicated cases and parenteral artesunate for severe malaria
Parasitic infection
Parasitic infections are caused by protozoa and helminth worms. They enter the body through ingestion, arthropod bites, or skin/mucous membrane penetration. Common human parasites include Plasmodium (malaria), Entamoeba histolytica (amoebiasis), Giardia lamblia (giardiasis), and various helminths such as tapeworms and roundworms. Symptoms vary depending on the infecting parasite but may include diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, and organ damage. Treatment involves antiprotozoal or anthelmintic medications.

parasitology lab notes
1) Tapeworms are flat, segmented parasites with a scolex or head region containing suckers or hooks to attach to the host's intestines. They reproduce sexually within segments called proglottids.
2) The most common tapeworm of dogs and cats is Dipylidium caninum, which uses fleas as an intermediate host. Its segments resemble cucumber seeds and can be seen in feces or around the anus.
3) Taenia tapeworms use rodents or rabbits as intermediate hosts. Their eggs contain hexacanth embryos without egg packets. They pose a zoonotic risk to humans.
