Intestinal Protozoa Entamoeba histolytica/ dispar E. histolytica inhabit large intestine and cause amoebic dysentery. There is two diagnostic stages for E. histolytica/ dispar: Cyst ( infective stage ). Trophozoite ( motile form, motility by pseudopodia ). Diagnosis: Stool examination to see cyst stage, or trophozoite stage if the sample is fresh. R. Z. Ahmed, Medical Parasitology Lab., 2011

Nematode Trichinella spiralis Adult inhabit the small intestine of the rats and pigs. Both males and females lie freely in the lumen of the intestine of pigs and rats. Fertilized female only penetrate the mucosa where the larviposit, they do not lay eggs. Larvae is the infective stage, live encysted in the flesh of the host, and they represent the infective stage. Diagnosis: By finding the adult parasites in early days of infection. Finding larvae in the blood during migration or in muscle after encystation. R. Z. Ahmed, Medical Parasitology Lab., 2011

Trematoda Also name as Flukes. Classification of Trematoda according to the final habitat in man: Liver flukes ( liver or bile ducts ): E.g.: Fasciola hepatica. Intestinal flukes : E.g.: Hetrophyes hetrophes. Blood flukes: E.g.: Schistosoma spp. R. Z. Ahmed, Medical Parasitology Lab., 2011

Blood flukes Schistosoma spp. Eggs are non operculated, but spined. Cercaria has a bifid tail and penetrate intact skin. Cause human bilharziasis. There are three species: Schistosoma mansoni, cause intestinal bilharziasis. Schistosoma jabonicum, cause intestinal bilharziasis. Schistosoma haematobium, cause schistosomal hematuria or urinary bilharziasis. Infective stage in three species is the Cercaria. Intermediate host: Snail. Definitive host: Human R. Z. Ahmed, Medical Parasitology Lab., 2011
74
R. Z. Ahmed, Medical Parasitology Lab., 2011
Schistosoma spp. Habitat: S. mansoni lives in the mesenteric venules of large intestine and produce eggs in stool. S. jabonicum lives in the mesenteric venules of small intestine and produce eggs in stool. S. haematobium lives in the venous plexus of the urinary bladder and produce eggs in urine. Diagnosis: Stool analysis should be performed to find eggs when infection with S. mansoni or S. jabonicum is suspected. Urine analysis should be performed to find eggs when infection with S. haematobium is suspected. R. Z. Ahmed, Medical Parasitology Lab., 2011
