Schistosomiasis is caused by three agents: Schistosoma japonicum, S. haematobium, and S. mansoni. It is transmitted through contact with contaminated freshwater where cercariae penetrate the skin. Treatment includes praziquantel and oxamniquine, while prevention focuses on sanitation and eliminating the host snail. The three agents vary in their natural hosts, snail hosts, locations within the human body, and geographic distributions.

Trematodes, also known as flukes, are flatworm parasites that attach to their host using suckers. They have a digestive system consisting of a mouth and esophagus leading to intestinal caeca but no anus. Major groups of flukes include blood flukes, liver flukes, lung flukes, and intestinal flukes. The life cycle involves sexually mature adults in the definitive host shedding eggs, which are excreted and hatch in water, infecting an intermediate snail host and developing into cercariae that infect the definitive host directly or via an intermediate host. A notable example is Schistosoma, the blood flukes, which reside in blood vessels and cause schistosomiasA lecture Leish & trypanosoma Parasites.pdf

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.leishmania.pptx by Manoj Mahato Clinical Microbiologist

Leishmania donovani is a protozoan parasite that causes visceral leishmaniasis (kala-azar). It was identified in 1901 in India and named after William Leishman and Charles Donovan. It has a life cycle involving two hosts - humans and sand flies. In humans, it infects macrophages and exists as amastigotes. In sand flies, it exists as promastigotes. The disease is transmitted when an infected sand fly bites a human. Symptoms include fever, hepatosplenomegaly, and pancytopenia. Diagnosis involves microscopy of tissue samples or PCR to detect the parasite. Treatment involves antimonial drugs. Control relies on reducing sand flyTrematodes kb

Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease caused by Leishmania parasites and transmitted by the bite of infected sandflies. It exists in three main forms: visceral leishmaniasis (VL), cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL), and mucocutaneous leishmaniasis. VL affects internal organs and is fatal without treatment. It is endemic in parts of India, where it is known as kala-azar. CL causes skin sores but is not fatal. Treatment involves antimony-based drugs or amphotericin B. Prevention focuses on controlling sandfly vectors and reservoirs through insecticides, bed nets, and treating infected dogs.Med Helmenths Lec 3rd.

This document discusses Schistosoma, the parasite that causes schistosomiasis. It covers the morphology and life cycle of Schistosoma, which involves snail intermediate hosts and human definitive hosts. The clinical manifestations of schistosomiasis depend on the species and include symptoms caused by the body's immune response to eggs trapped in tissues. Schistosomiasis remains a major public health problem in many developing countries. Diagnosis is via identification of eggs in stool or urine samples, with praziquantel being the treatment of choice. Control relies on treating humans and reservoir hosts as well as reducing contact between people and infected waters.Schistosomiasis.pptx

Schistosomiasis is caused by parasitic flukes of the genus Schistosoma. It is estimated that 230 million people are infected globally, with most cases occurring in sub-Saharan Africa. The parasite has a complex lifecycle involving freshwater snails and human hosts. Symptoms vary depending on the parasite species but commonly include abdominal pain, diarrhea, blood in stool or urine. Diagnosis is made by detecting parasite eggs in stool or urine samples under microscopy. Praziquantel is the treatment of choice. Prevention focuses on improving sanitation, snail control, and health education to reduce human contact with infected freshwater sources.1.1.4. common paracite infections [compatibility mode]
