| Define eukaryotic parasites | neglected disease pathogens |
| Define fungus/fungi | Hetrotrophic unicellular or multicellular eukaryotic organism that may take form of a larger macroscopic organisim, as in the case of mushrooms or smaller microscopic organism as in the case of yeast or mold |
| Fungi produce various types of spores that are | compact and light weight. |
| Fungi use spores for all three of these reasons | dissemination, reproduction, and survival |
| Fungi can be characterized based on | sexual reproduction, hyphal structure and genetic profile |
| Fungi are capable of causing | systemic, subcutaneous, cutaneous, superficial and oportunistic infections |
| Define protozoa | a group of single-celled eukaryotic organisms that feed on other cells usually have a locomotor organelle |
| Protozoa are | single-celled eukaryotic organisms |
| Protozoa are characterized based on | motility |
| protozoa groups include | amoeboid, ciliated, flagellated and apicomplexan |
| Protozoa have a _______ (active) form and some have a _____ (dormant but infectious) form | trophozoite, cyst |
| Define helminth | A term that designates parasitic worms such as roundworms and flatworms |
| Helminths are multicellular animals in the group | Metazoa |
| Helminths have | ova (egg), larva (active immature form), and adult forms. |
| Helminths can live inside the following types of hosts | intermediate and definitive hosts |
| intermediate host is | where larval development occurs |
| definitive host | where adulthood and mating occur |
| This organism's morphology is FISH EYE, lives in the Ohio Valley and is identified in sample of sputum | Histoplasma capsulatum |
| Histoplasma capsulatum causes | OHIO VALLEY FEVER (HISTOPLASMOSIS) |
| This organism resides in SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY and is identified by SPHERULES in the sputum | Coccidioides immitis |
| Coccidioides immitis causes ______ with symptoms that are COLD LIKE and MALAISE | coccidioidomycosis |
| Many fungi have virulence because they grow _______ and most are treated with antifungals, _______ | DIMORPHICALLY, Amphotericin B and Itraconazole |
| Candida albicans occurs in 20% of humans and is an | OPPORTUNISTIC INFECION affecting immunocompromised people |
| Candida albicans causes | thrush and vulvovaginal candidiasis |
| histoplasmosis capsulatum and coccidioides immitis can be prevented by | respiratory masks |
| This organism's morphology is TROPHOZOITE and HARDY CYST, is identified by visualization | Entamoeba histolytica |
| Entamoeba histolytica causes ulceration of the intestinal mucosa, abdominal pain, fever, diarrhea and weight loss | prevention by disinfection of water treated with chlorine or boiled; disease treated with Iodaguinal metronidazole or paromomycin |
| This organism has unique morphology for each stage of its cycle with the RING TROPHOZITE STAGE being the most recognizable | Plasmodium |
| Plasmodium is identified by presence of any stage in blood smears and habitat is | Humans are the primafy vertebrates hosts with the female anopheles mosquito serving as biological vector in spread of the disease |
| Plasmodium is virulent because of multiple life cycle stages and MULTIPLE ANTIGENIC TYPES and causes ________ with symptoms including ________ | MALARIA, malaise, fatigue, aches, nausea then bouts of fever, chills and sweating |
| _________ control and Anti-protozoan drugs prevent and treat malaria | mosquito |
| This disease has 1mm CYSTS and is identified by detection of antibody, habitiat is pigs, cats, dogs and rats | Trichinella spiralis |
| Trichinella spiralis is prevented by | cooking, freezing, smoking of meat which kills larvae |
| Trichinella spiralis causes trichinellosis which is treated with | albendazole and steroids |
| Blastomyces dermatitidis | identified by smear LARGE OVOID THICK WALLED; CUASES CHICAGO DISEASE; habitat U.S; pulmonary(lung) symptoms |
