PEER Program, Texas A&M University Parasites http://animalscience.unl.edu/ffa-veterinary-science-contest-parasites (link may help) PEER Program, Texas A&M University

Blowfly (family Calliphoridae) “Screwworm” (North and South American blowfly larvae) Adult blowfly (bluebottle fly)

Blowfly Characterized as metallic blue, green, or black in color The larvae (maggots) feed on dung or the decaying flesh of dead animals The larvae of some species infest open wounds of animals and sometimes humans Often a problem in the livestock industry

Cat Warble (Genus Cuterebra) Larvae and adult fly larvae

Cat Warble Also known as a botfly maggot The maggots crawl on the skin of passing animals and enter into the tissue via an orifice (ex: mouth, nasal passage, or external wound) Migrate through tissues to the skin where they create a warble (a small lump in the skin) Most found burrowed around the animal’s face or neck

Various shape arrangements Cocci (bacteria) Any bacterium that is spherical or has a generally round shape Various shape arrangements View under microscope

Coccidia (Genus Isospora or Eimeria)

Coccidia Microscopic intestinal parasites of dogs and cats Typically characterized by a round oval shape, with one to multiple sporocysts in their center Rapid multiplication of the parasite in the intestinal wall causes the cells of the intestinal lining to rupture They cause disease most commonly in puppies and kittens less than six months old, or in adult animals with a weakened immune system

Demodectic Mite (Genus Demodex) location of the mites view under microscope

Demodectic Mite A minute arachnid that can overpopulate hair follicles to cause mange and hairlessness In severe cases, the mites multiply to the point where the body triggers irritation, inflammation, and stimulation of gland secretions Typically affects dogs and cats (not contagious between animals, or to humans)

Ear Mite (Family Psoroptidae; Genus Otodectes)

Ear Mite A surface mite that is typically found in the ear canal of some mammals Microscopic in size Highly contagious from animal to animal Lives on cats and dogs (as well as has been found on foxes, ferrets, rabbits)

Flea Tapeworm Life Cycle* (includes the next five listed parasites) Tapeworm segments full of egg capsules are shed through the animal’s feces The egg capsules are ingested by flea larvae, where the eggs hatch and begin to mature inside the larvae When the larval flea cocoons and becomes an adult flea, the tapeworm embryos in the flea mature to an intermediate stage The infested flea is ingested by the animal (who is typically biting at an itchy spot) The tapeworm develops into a full adult in the animal’s small intestines as the flea is digested, and attaches to the intestinal lining where it feeds on the animal’s tissue The tapeworm fully matures and begins to shed segments (full of tapeworm egg capsules) off of its body, which end up in the animal’s feces, repeating the cycle Further explanation of the life cycle at: http://www.pet-informed-veterinary-advice-online.com/tapeworm-life-cycle.html

Flea Tapeworm Segment* (Genus Dipylidium) Size comparison of tapeworm segments Segments (right) compared to sesame seeds (left)

Flea Tapeworm Egg* (Genus Dipylidium) Various views under microscope Multiple tapeworm eggs enclosed in a capsule

Flea Larva (Genus Ctenocephalides) Larva under microscope Larvae on skin

Fleas* (Genus Ctenophalides)

Flea Tapeworm* (Genus Dipylidum) Adult tapeworm Tapeworm starting to produce segments

Giardia* (Genus Giardia) Views from under microscope

Giardia* Single-celled organism Infects older animals more often than younger Only a portion of infected exhibit symptoms Life Cycle: Animal ingests giardia cyst and become infected Cyst becomes trophozoite form in small intestine, where it multiplies and feeds Exits body through feces (only cysts can survive outside of the host)

Heartworm* (Genus Dirofilaria) Adult worm Heartworm microfilaria under the microscope (blood smear)
