This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: LAB 19 - PARASITOLOGY, Entamoeba histolytica diagnosis look for cysts of E. histolytica in a fecal smear, Giardia lamblia disease giardiasis, Enterobius vermicularis diagnosis look for pinworm ova from the perianal region, ciliophora: Cilia are used for motility and direction of food particles into the mouth or cytosome. diagnosis look for B. coli in a fecal smear, protozoans asexual reproduction budding: Pinching off of a bud from a parent cell., Entamoeba histolytica disease amoebic dysentery, protozoans groups sarcomastigophora, ciliophora: Cilia are used for motility and direction of food particles into the mouth or cytosome. organism Balantidium coli, Plasmodium species disease malaria, Trichinella spiralis diagnosis serological tests and microscopic examination of biopsy specimens, Enterobius vermicularis transmission inhaling E. vermicularis ova or from transfer of ova to the mouth from fecally-contaminated fingers, Plasmodium species diagnosis look for the parasite within infected red blood cells (schizonts), trematodes (flukes) transmission ingesting poorly cooked fish, crayfish, crabs, snails, or water vegetables infested with flukes - except for blood flukes which directly penetrate the skin, Plasmodium species transmission bite of an infected female Anopheles mosquito, helminths description Multicellular, often macroscopic worms having both rudimentary organs and organ systems., apicomplexans: Are not motile in their mature forms; reproduce both asexually and sexually. organism Plasmodium species, sarcomastigophora subdivisions sarconina (amoebas): Move by extending lobelike projections of their cytoplasm called pseudopodia. Food is obtained by phagocytosis., apicomplexans: Are not motile in their mature forms; reproduce both asexually and sexually. organism Toxoplasma gondii, protozoans description Unicellular eukaryotic microorganisms belonging to the Kingdom Protista., cestodes (tapeworms) transmission eating poorly cooked infected beef, pork, or fish containing encysted larva
