Q

Important for Cryptosporidiosis

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Autoinfection
  • IC but extracytoplasmic
  • Kinyoun staining: red (thick wall) and white (thin wall) are the oocysts, with blue background (good for small parasites).
25
Coccidiosis life cycle
1. Oocyst swallowed by animal and goes into gut. 2. O. release sporocysts which release sporozoites which invade gut cells and build Scizonts w. trophozoites inside --> Schizogony/Merogony 3. Schizonts release MZ which infect new gut cells. 4. MZ Build macrogamonts (female) and microgamonts (male) sperms - Miro goes over to Macro --> Gametogony 5. Grows zygot and black cell nucleus 6. Zygot becomes oocyst. Younger oocyst builds wall (protein). 7. Free unsporulated oocyst is shredded in faeces. 1. ..
