Veterinary Parasitology

Dr. Asif
1
Objective 1

Describe the various symbiotic
relationships between two species
of organisms

2
Parasitology Goals
• Learn the Life Cycles & Biology of parasites
• Learn parasite treatment and prevention fundamentals
( Not Drugs)
• Learn Client Education fundamentals
– What the client needs to know about
cycles, biology, treatment & prevention of the
common animal parasites

3
Definitions

• Parasitology – study of parasites & parasitism
• Symbiosis – any association between at least 2
different living organisms of different species
– Host – usually larger of 2 species, harbors
symbiont
– Symbiont – smaller of 2 species, obtains food and
habitat from host

5
The Parasite
Location on the Host
Amount of Time on the Host
Types of Parasites

6
Location on the Host
Ectoparasite (Infestation)
Endoparasite (Infection)

7
Location on the Host
• Ectoparasite
– On outside surface of body of host
– Examples – fleas, mosquitoes, horse flies

• Endoparasite
– Live in body of host
– Examples – roundworms, whipworms,
heartworms

8
Amount of Time on Host
Temporary
Stationary
Permanent

9
Temporary
• Visits host for food
• Examples
– Ticks
– Mosquitoes

10
Stationary
• Spends definite period of time in or on
host
• Most parasites
• Periodic – leaves host to complete
development (example – Cuterebra)

11
Cuterebra

12
Permanent
• Spends entire life on host, except when
transferring to another host
• Examples
– Ear mites
– Lice

13
Types of Parasites
Incidental (Accidental) Parasite
Erratic (Aberrant) Parasite
Obligate Parasite
Facultative Parasite
Pseudoparasite
14
Incidental Parasite
• Accidental parasite
• Appears in unusual hosts
• Examples –
– Heartworms in man
– Crab louse in dogs

15
Erratic Parasite
• Aberrant parasite
• Seen in unusual locations in hosts
• Examples –
– Heartworm in eye
– Cuterebra in brain

16
Obligate Parasite
• Must lead parasitic existence
• No free-living stages
• Examples
– Lice
– Ear mites
– Some mites

17
Facultative Parasite
• Free-living organism that can become
parasitic in certain hosts
• Examples
• Chigger mite larvae (microscopic)
• Ringworm in cats, calves

18
Pseudoparasite
• Organisms that appear to be parasites,
but are not
• Examples – grain mites in fecals, pollen
grains, pollen grain and air bubbles

19
The Host
Intermediate
Paratenic
Definitive (Final)
Incidental (Accidental)

20
Intermediate Host
• Immature (non-sexual) parasite
undergoes development in this host
• Example – heartworm larva in mosquito
• Control of this part of life cycle
CRUCIAL to preventing parasite!

21
Paratenic Host
• Intermediate host that serves as a
“transport” host for parasitic larva
• Final host must eat this host for adult
parasite to develop
• Examples – fleas or mice for certain
tapeworms

22
Definitive Host
•
•
•
•

Final host
Harbors adult (sexually mature) parasite
Often a carnivore (dogs & cats)
Intermediate host carried parasite to this
host

23
Incidental Host
• Accidental host
• Wrong host species for this parasite
• If man – parasite is a zoonosis
– Raccoon roundworms
– Heartworms in cats.

24
Objective 2
Discuss types of parasitic life
cycles

25
Life Cycles
Direct
Indirect

26
Life Cycles Overview
• Definition
– The entire sequence of stages in the life of a
parasite, from adults of one generation to
adults of the next

• Parasite may be “Species Specific”
– Affect only 1 species of host
– Lice – species specific; fleas – not

• 2 types
– Direct life cycles
– Indirect life cycles
27
Direct Life Cycles
• Parasite transfers from one host to
another host of same species
– Dog to dog to dog, etc.

• No intermediate hosts
• Examples – fleas,
whipworms

28
Direct Life Cycle – Fleas

29
Direct Life
Cycle –
Whipworms

30
Indirect Life Cycles
(Figure 1-10, page 7)

• Parasite requires at least 1 intermediate
host to complete its life cycle
• Intermediate host harbors immature
parasite
• Definitive host harbors adult parasite
• Examples – heartworms, all
tapeworms, flukes
• Client Education – Best way to stop life
cycle is to eliminate intermediate host
31
Indirect Life Cycles
• Always have intermediate hosts

32
Indirect Life
Cycle –
Tapeworms

33
Indirect Life Cycle – Heartworms

34
Parasites with Both Life Cycles
• Some parasites have both a direct as well
as indirect life cycle
• Examples – roundworms, hookworms

35
Both
Direct and
Indirect Life
Cycles

36
Both Direct and
Indirect Life Cycles – Hookworms

37
Parasite Transmission
Passive
Active
Inoculative

38
Passive vs. Active Transmission
• Definition – how parasites transfer from
one host to another
• Passive transmission
– Parasite does not travel to host
– Usually ingested
– Example – ascarids (roundworms)

• Active transmission
– Parasite travels to host and/or aggressively
penetrates host
– Examples – fleas, hookworm larvae
39
Inoculative Transmission
• Intermediate host “injects” parasite into
definitive host
– Called “vector”
– Often takes blood from definitive host
– Often has “sucking mouthparts”
– Examples – mosquitoes, ticks, fleas?

40
Inoculative Transmission
• Blood-suckers!

41
Harmful Effects of Parasites

42
Harmful Effects of Parasites
• Blood loss
– Hookworms, fleas

• Hypersensitivity (allergy)
– Flea allergy dermatitis (FAD)
• 15% of dogs & cats

– Heartworms? Eosinophilia as high as 20%

• Toxicity
– Maggots
43
Harmful Effects of Parasites
• Secondary invasion of pathogens
– Bacterial infections after primary disease has
begun
• Example – generalized demodectic mange

• Disease transmission
– Parasite vectors – carry disease to host

• Worry
– Horse flies in the barn
44
Disease Vectors
• Mosquitoes
– Heartworms
– West Nile Virus
– Equine encephalitis
– Equine infectious anemia (EIA)

• Ticks
– Lyme disease
– Rocky mountain spotted fever

• Fleas
– Feline infectious anemia?
45
Objective 3

Classification Scheme used to
name and categorize organisms

46

47
Definitions
• Taxonomy – Branch of biology dealing
with identifying, naming, and classifying
species

Introduction to veterinary parasitology asif

  • 2. Objective 1 Describe the various symbiotic relationships between two species of organisms 2
  • 3. Parasitology Goals • Learn the Life Cycles & Biology of parasites • Learn parasite treatment and prevention fundamentals ( Not Drugs) • Learn Client Education fundamentals – What the client needs to know about cycles, biology, treatment & prevention of the common animal parasites 3
  • 4. Definitions • Parasitology – study of parasites & parasitism • Symbiosis – any association between at least 2 different living organisms of different species – Host – usually larger of 2 species, harbors symbiont – Symbiont – smaller of 2 species, obtains food and habitat from host 4
  • 6. The Parasite Location on the Host Amount of Time on the Host Types of Parasites 6
  • 7. Location on the Host Ectoparasite (Infestation) Endoparasite (Infection) 7
  • 8. Location on the Host • Ectoparasite – On outside surface of body of host – Examples – fleas, mosquitoes, horse flies • Endoparasite – Live in body of host – Examples – roundworms, whipworms, heartworms 8
  • 9. Amount of Time on Host Temporary Stationary Permanent 9
  • 10. Temporary • Visits host for food • Examples – Ticks – Mosquitoes 10
  • 11. Stationary • Spends definite period of time in or on host • Most parasites • Periodic – leaves host to complete development (example – Cuterebra) 11
  • 13. Permanent • Spends entire life on host, except when transferring to another host • Examples – Ear mites – Lice 13
  • 14. Types of Parasites Incidental (Accidental) Parasite Erratic (Aberrant) Parasite Obligate Parasite Facultative Parasite Pseudoparasite 14
  • 15. Incidental Parasite • Accidental parasite • Appears in unusual hosts • Examples – – Heartworms in man – Crab louse in dogs 15
  • 16. Erratic Parasite • Aberrant parasite • Seen in unusual locations in hosts • Examples – – Heartworm in eye – Cuterebra in brain 16
  • 17. Obligate Parasite • Must lead parasitic existence • No free-living stages • Examples – Lice – Ear mites – Some mites 17
  • 18. Facultative Parasite • Free-living organism that can become parasitic in certain hosts • Examples • Chigger mite larvae (microscopic) • Ringworm in cats, calves 18
  • 19. Pseudoparasite • Organisms that appear to be parasites, but are not • Examples – grain mites in fecals, pollen grains, pollen grain and air bubbles 19
  • 21. Intermediate Host • Immature (non-sexual) parasite undergoes development in this host • Example – heartworm larva in mosquito • Control of this part of life cycle CRUCIAL to preventing parasite! 21
  • 22. Paratenic Host • Intermediate host that serves as a “transport” host for parasitic larva • Final host must eat this host for adult parasite to develop • Examples – fleas or mice for certain tapeworms 22
  • 23. Definitive Host • • • • Final host Harbors adult (sexually mature) parasite Often a carnivore (dogs & cats) Intermediate host carried parasite to this host 23
  • 24. Incidental Host • Accidental host • Wrong host species for this parasite • If man – parasite is a zoonosis – Raccoon roundworms – Heartworms in cats. 24
  • 25. Objective 2 Discuss types of parasitic life cycles 25
  • 27. Life Cycles Overview • Definition – The entire sequence of stages in the life of a parasite, from adults of one generation to adults of the next • Parasite may be “Species Specific” – Affect only 1 species of host – Lice – species specific; fleas – not • 2 types – Direct life cycles – Indirect life cycles 27
  • 28. Direct Life Cycles • Parasite transfers from one host to another host of same species – Dog to dog to dog, etc. • No intermediate hosts • Examples – fleas, whipworms 28
  • 29. Direct Life Cycle – Fleas 29
  • 31. Indirect Life Cycles (Figure 1-10, page 7) • Parasite requires at least 1 intermediate host to complete its life cycle • Intermediate host harbors immature parasite • Definitive host harbors adult parasite • Examples – heartworms, all tapeworms, flukes • Client Education – Best way to stop life cycle is to eliminate intermediate host 31
  • 32. Indirect Life Cycles • Always have intermediate hosts 32
  • 34. Indirect Life Cycle – Heartworms 34
  • 35. Parasites with Both Life Cycles • Some parasites have both a direct as well as indirect life cycle • Examples – roundworms, hookworms 35
  • 37. Both Direct and Indirect Life Cycles – Hookworms 37
  • 39. Passive vs. Active Transmission • Definition – how parasites transfer from one host to another • Passive transmission – Parasite does not travel to host – Usually ingested – Example – ascarids (roundworms) • Active transmission – Parasite travels to host and/or aggressively penetrates host – Examples – fleas, hookworm larvae 39
  • 40. Inoculative Transmission • Intermediate host “injects” parasite into definitive host – Called “vector” – Often takes blood from definitive host – Often has “sucking mouthparts” – Examples – mosquitoes, ticks, fleas? 40
  • 42. Harmful Effects of Parasites 42
  • 43. Harmful Effects of Parasites • Blood loss – Hookworms, fleas • Hypersensitivity (allergy) – Flea allergy dermatitis (FAD) • 15% of dogs & cats – Heartworms? Eosinophilia as high as 20% • Toxicity – Maggots 43
  • 44. Harmful Effects of Parasites • Secondary invasion of pathogens – Bacterial infections after primary disease has begun • Example – generalized demodectic mange • Disease transmission – Parasite vectors – carry disease to host • Worry – Horse flies in the barn 44
  • 45. Disease Vectors • Mosquitoes – Heartworms – West Nile Virus – Equine encephalitis – Equine infectious anemia (EIA) • Ticks – Lyme disease – Rocky mountain spotted fever • Fleas – Feline infectious anemia? 45
  • 46. Objective 3 Describe the Linnaean Classification Scheme used to name and categorize organisms 46
  • 48. Definitions • Taxonomy – Branch of biology dealing with identifying, naming, and classifying species • Taxon – One of the groups that organisms are classified into • Species – Group of similar organisms capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring 48
  • 49. Classification of Parasites • Kingdom –Phylum • Class –Order »Family Genus Species 49
  • 51. Insects, Ticks, and Mites, Oh My! 51
  • 53. Classification of Parasites • Kingdom Protista – single-celled organisms • Kingdom Animalia • Phylum – Platyhelminthes – flatworms – tapeworms – Archelminthes – nematodes – Arthropoda – animals with exoskeleton • Class Crustacea – no parasites here! • Class Insecta – fleas, flies, lice 53
  • 54. The Kingdoms • Protista – Single-celled organisms – Amoeba – Coccidia – Giardia – Toxoplasma • Animalia – Multi-cellular animals – Most parasites we will cover are here – Most animals are free-living, not parasitic 54
  • 55. 3 Phyla of Kingdom Animalia • These 3 phyla have the parasites we will cover this semester • Phylum Platyhelminthes – flatworms • Phylum Archelminthes – roundworms (nematodes) • Phylum Arthropoda – arthropods • Helminth = “worm” • Anthelmintic – wormer 55
  • 56. Platyhelminthes – Flat Worms • Characteristics – Flat – All hermaphrodites – need only 1 worm to continue life cycle • Free-living – Planaria • Parasites – – Cestodes – all tapeworms – Trematodes – flukes 56
  • 57. Archelminthes – Nematodes • Characteristics – Round (“roundworms”) – Separate male & female worms – Need at least 1 of each sex to continue life cycle • Examples – Dog & cat ascarids (roundworms) – Hookworms (strongyles in horses) – Whipworms – Heartworms 57
  • 58. Arthropods • Characteristics – Jointed appendages – Exoskeleton (made of chitin) • 3 classes in this phylum – Class crustacea – crustaceans – no parasites! – Class arachnida – arachnids – Class insecta – insects 58
  • 59. Class Arachnida • Most free-living, some parasites • Most live on land • Characteristics – No wings – Most adults have 8 legs • Examples – Spiders!  (Arachnophobia anyone?) – Scorpions – Ticks – Mites 59
  • 60. Arachnids • • • • Spiders – free-living Scorpions – free-living Ticks – parasites Mites – free-living & parasites 60
  • 61. Scientific Names of Organisms • Composed of 2 Latin names – 1st name – Genus – 2nd name – species • Genus species – Genus name italicized, capitalized – species name italicized, NOT capitalized • If italics are not used, each name must be underlined separately 61
