    Name: Fasciola hepatica (liver fluke)

    Pathogenesis "Liver Rot", Fascioliasis - obstruction of bile duct, enlarged liver, abcesses, eosinophilia

    Distribution Worldwide

    Infective Stage Metacercaria

    Intermediate host Aquatic snail - Lymnea

    Host/Niche Cattle, Sheep, Humans / liver and bile duct

    Transmission Fecal contamination of water, eating aquatic vegetation

    Morphology Leaf-shaped, large cone shaped projections on anterior end, extensive vitellaria

    Fascioloides magna (liver) Fasciola gigantica (liver) Fasciolopsis buski (intestinal)

    Similar to Fasciola hepatica, sheep host die, cattle dead end hosts, deer; no anterior cone or shoulders Very similar to Fasciola hepatica but no human hosts, obviously larger, different snail vector; Asia Afica and Hawaii Feed on intestinal epithelial cells, ulcerations, Common hemorrhage and abcesses of SI, 25K eggs per day parasite in Orient

    Metacercaria on underwater vegetation (boiling kills) Metacercaria in 2nd intermediate host

    Snail

    Largest fluke in Humans, Pigs / Intestines Humans, Dogs, Cats (RH) / lumen of bile duct Sheep, Cattle, Goats, Pigs, (rare in man) / bile ducts

    Underwater vegetation (water chestnuts, bamboo)

    Clonorchis sinensis (Chinese liver)

    Light infection: asymptomatic; chronic infection cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer); Dx: eggs in stool

    Dicrocoelium dendriticum (lancet)

    General biliary dysfunction by adults in bile gut, Dx: eggs in stool

    Far East: China, Japan Vietnam, Korea (25% Chinese immigrants) North America, Europe, Asia, Australia

    1st: aquatic snail; 2nd: freshwater fish (grass carp) 1st: land snail (Cionella lubrica) 2nd: common brown ant (formica fusca) 1st: snail; 2nd: dragon fly nymph

    Ovum must be eaten by snail host. See life cycle

    Large adult (20-75mm L, 20mm W) branched ovaries anterior to testes, no branched ceca, acetabulum large/close to oral sucker, testes tandem in posterior, extensive vitellaria Adults with lancet appearance, weakly developed suckers, branched testes in tandem near posterior end, tegument lacks spines Pointed on both ends in adults, simple ceca, unbranced (lobate) testes, anterior to ovary

    Metacercaria in 2nd intermediate host

    No aquatic part to life cycle

    Prosthogonimus macrorchis (Bird oviduct)

    Male birds: bursa atrophies; Female: damage to oviduct > decreased or prevention of egg laying

    Metacercaria in 2nd intermediate host Japan, China, Korea. (Asia), Africa, Central/South America Metacercaria in 2nd intermediate host

    Bird / Bursa or Fabricius of oviduct Humans, various RH / lungs, induce host formation of fibrotic capsule Humans / villi of small intestines

    Paragonimus westermani (Lung)

    Lung lesions (pseudotubercles), deep blood tinged cough, pleural pain, dyspnea; Dx: eggs in sputum

    1st: aquatic snail; 2nd: crustacean (crawfish, crab)

    Egg hatches eaten by snail, cercaria encyst in fly muscle, eaten by bird Eating raw or undercooked crustaceans

    Huge testes, vitellaria concentrated

    Coffee bean fluke, small dark reddish brown color, thick testes oblique to each other, finger like lobed ovary, ovary and uterus easy to see; Eggs ovoid and operculated (flat end)

    Heterophyes heterophyes (tiny intestinal)

    Potential human pathogens; gastric diseases, malaise, fatigue, diarrhea, fatal if damages heart; Dx: eggs > feces

    Africa, Asia, Middle/Far East

    Metacercaria in 2nd intermediate host

    1st: snail; 2nd: fresh and brackish water fish (mullet)

    Eating raw/undercooked infected fish

    Schistosoma haematobium (urinary)

    Schistosoma mansoni (intestinal)

    Eggs cause pathology, traverse tissues, trapped eggs secrete SEA's which trigger inflammation > chronic granulomatous fibrosing lesions. Schistosomiasis (3 phases)- 1) Migratory: asymptomatic, penetration to maturity/egg production; 2) Acute: "Katayama fever" heavy infection, mainly mansoni and japonicum; 3) Chronic: granulomas of macs, etc become fibrous (pseudotubercules), eggs in liver form granulomas > cause fibrosis, eggs in gut wall ulcerate, can have bloody diarrhea (haematobium causes bloody urine), some progress to severe - fibrosis causes enlarged liver and spleen and ascites (accumulation of abdominal fluid); urinary can develop squamous cell carcinomas; Dx: eggs in excreta

    Most of Africa, Middle East

    Africa (Egypt, Sudan) Middle East, South America, Caribbean Japan, China, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia

    Schistosoma japonicum (intestinal)

    Cercaria; eggs not operculated (require water) find snail in 5-6 hours, NO REDIA, free swimming cercariae must find host in 1-3 days; schistosomule once enters circulation

    Snail, no second intermediate host; no snail hosts for human Schistosoma indigenous to USA

    Humans, birds, turtles, fish / Veins of urinary bladder plexus Veins draining large intestine (inferior mesenteric plexus) Veins draining small intestine (superior mesenteric veins)

    Human waste contamination of water sources, appropriate species of snail as intermediate host, using human waste as fertilizer for crops; washing, bathing, using water from contaminated streams. Control: Education, Rx with praziquantel, vector control, no vaccine

    Ova (terminal spine)

    Ova (lateral spine)

    Ova (rudimentary spine)
