NAME: CLASS SECTION: DATE PERFOMRED:

TOPIC: Clinical Parasitology

Instruction:
Below is a table that needs to be completed. This table presents some of the most commonly encountered parasitic infection, roundworms, tapeworms, flukes, protozoans and among others.
Complete the table by supplying the important details asked.

Mode of Transmission, Disease/s Brief Description of the Parasite Prevention and Control Measures
Name of the Parasite Common Name of the Parasite Associated, and Hallmark Signs Life Cycle (Host/s, Infective and Treatment Regiment
and Symptoms of the Disease Stage, Diagnostic Stage) Available
Ascaris lumbricoides MOT: Intermediate Host (if any): Prevention and Control:

Disease: Definitive Host:

S/Sx: Infective Stage: Treatment:

Diagnostic Stage:

Enterobius vermicularis
Ancylostoma duodenale
Schisctosoma japonicum
Diphyllobothrium latum
Fasciola hepatica
Taenia solium Genus: Taenia MOT: Solium taeniasis is acquired by
Species:T. solium humans through the ingestion of the parasite's
larval cysts (cysticerci) in undercooked and
infected pork. Human tapeworm carriers
excrete tapeworm eggs in their faeces and
contaminate the environment when they
defecate in open areas.
Disease:

S/Sx: Tapeworms can cause digestive


problems including abdominal pain,
loss of appetite, weight loss, and
upset stomach. The most visible
symptom of taeniasis is the active
passing of proglottids (tapeworm
segments) through the anus and in
the feces.
Entamoeba histolytica
Trichomonas vaginalis
Plasmodium species Malaria parssite MOT: Malaria sporozoites are transmitted from Intermediate Host (if any): P. Prevention and Control: Apply
the saliva of the female Anopheles mosquito to falciparum, P. vivax, P. ovale and P. mosquito repellent with DEET

Diagnostic Stage: Within the


erythrocytes, the parasite matures
from the juvenile ring developmental
stage to the mature schizont
developmental stage, which consists
of various merozoites (erythrocytic
schizogony). These merozoites are
released into the bloodstream after
schizont rupture and invade new
erythrocytes.
