LECTURE NOTES ON ZOONOSIS
DEFINITION AND TERMINOLOGY CLASSIFICATION EXAMPLE OF ZOONOSIS PARASITIC Departement of Parasitology
2
DEFINITION OF ZOONOSIS
Zoonosis is a group of diseases commonly found among vertebrate animal capable of infecting human, and vice-versa. Based on this definition, 2 group of classification are known: zooanthroponosis and anthropozoonosis.

4
In simple term A zoonotic disease is any disease which may be passed from animals to people or from people to animals (According to the CDC*) CDC: U.S. Communicable Disease Center
5
Some Facts about Zoonotic Diseases
Approximately 60% of all human pathogens are zoonotic 75% of emerging infectious diseases have an animal origin Growing need for veterinarians and physicians to work together
6
Parasites and Animals Many methods of parasite transmission to people involve animals
7
Classification of zoonosis by Cause
From other people or animals that were contaminated with it. This can be direct, as for example ticks or head lice jumping from one person to another. Perhaps more common is the picking up of eggs and juvenile stages that have left a host person, as, for example, contamination with feces.

CLASSIFICATION OF ZOONOSIS BASED ON ITS CAUSE
Viral Zoonosis Bacterial Zoonosis fungal/mycotic Zoonosis Parasitic Zoonosis

CLASSIFICATION OF PARASITIC ZOONOSIS
ZOONOSIS BY PARASITIC PROTOZOA ZOONOSIS BY PARASITIC HELMINTHES ZOONOSIS BY ECTOPARASITES
13
ZOONOSIS BY PARASITIC PROTOZOA
BALANTIDIASIS CRYPTOSPORIDIASIS GIARDIASIS PNEUMOCYSTOSIS SARCOSPORIDIOSIS TOXOPLASMOSIS
14
ZOONOSIS BY HELMINTHES
ANGYOSTRONGYLIASIS ASCARIASIS SUUM DIPYLIDIASIS DIROFILARIASIS FASCIOLIASIS HYDATIDOSIS HYMENOLEPIASIS LARVA MIGRANS LINGUATULIASIS PHYSALOPTERIASIS SCHISTOSOMIASIS SPARGANOSIS STRONGYLOIDIASIS TAENIASIS SAGINATA TRICHINOSIS TRICHSTRONGYLIDIASIS
15
ZOONOSIS BY ECTOPARASITES
ACARIASIS MYIASIS SCABIES INFESTATION BY TICKS DAN MITES
16
Vector-borne Parasites
A vector is an agent which transfers a parasite from one host to another Typical parasite vectors: fleas, ticks, mites, mosquitoes, flies, and other insects People become infected when a vector picks up the parasite from an infected animal and infects a human
17
CONTACT BETWEEN EPIZOOTIC CYCLE AMONG PRIMATES AND MAN
Zoonotic Cycles
18
Parasites carried by Vectors
Many parasites that are carried by vectors are often found in the blood of humans and animals
19
Trypanosoma Cruzi Causes Chagas disease.
Damage to heart, digestive tract, and brain (in children). Spread by the “Kissing Bug,” native to South America and the southern US The bug bites the human then defecates next to the wound. Rubbing bite wound spreads parasite into the wound. Parasite can cycle from animals like armadillos, raccoons, opossums, and foxes to bugs to humans.
20
Chagas Disease & The “Kissing Bug”
Don’t Kiss ME!!! Trypanosoma cruzi in the blood Kissing Bug found in Texas
21
If you play around trees, check your head and body for me!!
Babesia Intracellular protozoa found in red blood cells Spread by infected Ticks If you play around trees, check your head and body for me!!
22
Leishmania Unlike Babesia and Chagas Disease, Leishmania live in tissue and not the blood Spread through the bite of an infected Sandfly* *common on Caribbean beaches
23
Leishmania Human foot
24
Waterborne Parasites Spread when humans come into contact with water that has been contaminated by an infected animal Common waterborne parasites include Giardia Cryptosporidium
25
Giardia & Cryptosporidium
26
Giardia & Cryptosporidium
Get from swallowing water contaminated by another infected human or animal Giardia is the 2nd most common parasitic disease in people Cryptosporidium is the most common cause of diarrhea from swimming Both can cause severe diarrhea Gross!!! Don’t drink the water your swimming in!!!
27
How Do People Get Parasites
From other people or animals that were contaminated with it. This can be direct, as for example ticks or head lice jumping from one person to another. Perhaps more common is the picking up of eggs and juvenile stages that have left a host person, as, for example, contamination with feces.
28
Methods of Parasite Transmission
I need to WASH MY HANDS!!! Insect bites Animal feces Handling raw meat and fish Handling cat litter boxes Contaminated fruits and vegetables Infected food handlers Contaminated water Contact with an infected person
29
Broad Categories of Transmission
Vectorborne (insects) Waterborne Fecal Oral Transmission Contaminated Meat
30
Fecal-Oral Transmission
Most common way people become infected with zoonotic parasites Parasites are spread to humans when they ingest the eggs from the feces of an infected animal Parasites spread by fecal oral transmission generally live in the intestinal tract I don’t feel so good
31
Spread by Fecal Oral Transmission
Hookworms Roundworms Hydatid Disease Toxoplasmosis
32
Hookworms & Roundworms
They are like monsters!!!!
33
Hookworms & Roundworms
Carried by dogs and cats Kids often get infected from playing in sand boxes which animals have defecated Or by putting toys in their mouth which have been on the ground
34
Hookworms Can penetrate the skin and gain entry into the human body
Bare feet are a common route of entry You should wear shoes wherever animals go to the bathroom on the ground. Wearing shoes is one of the best ways to prevent parasites from entering your feet!!!
35
Hydatid Disease After Humans consume the eggs passed by dogs the worms can form huge cysts in the body
36
Toxoplasmosis How many have of you have heard that pregnant women shouldn’t clean cat litter boxes? That is because of the potential for them to contract Toxoplasmosis which can cause them to lose their unborn child.
37
Toxoplasmosis Even though it is commonly associated with pregnancy and litter boxes, toxoplasmosis is more commonly transmitted through undercooked meat According to the CDC toxoplasmosis is the 3rd leading cause of foodborne related deaths in the US Order your food to be cooked all the way!!
38
Contaminated Meat Meat can be contaminated with harmful bacteria and can also contain parasitic cysts which may infect people. Common Parasites Found in Meat Toxoplasmosis Trichinella Taenia Gnathostomosis
39
Trichinosis & Taenia Both caused by eating cysts in undercooked pork or beef Incidence rate has decreased with better animal management and slaughter protocol Fully cook your meat!
40
Cysticercosis If a person consumes Taenia eggs they can develop cysts in their brain!
41
Gnathostomosis Similar to Taenia and Trichonosis, but gnathostomosis is found in raw fish What area do you think this disease is most common? Asia
42
Morphology of Gnathostoma spinigerum
Cutaneus Larva Migrans (Creeping Eruption) Morphology of Gnathostoma spinigerum
43
So How Can You Protect Yourself?
Let students review the steps they can take to help prevent infection. More answers to this question are on next slide.
44
Preventing Zoonotic Parasites
Brainstorm some ways we can prevent them… Always wash your hands Keep sand boxes covered Wear shoes Pick up animal feces when possible Don’t drink untreated water Cook meat thoroughly
45
Summary Zoonotic parasites have many routes of transmission to people
Vectors Water Fecal Contamination Infected Meat Ask what vectors are again!
