Document Summary
15 november 2017: introduction, entamoeba dispar, entamoeba hartmani, entamoeba coli, entamoeba gingivalis, endolimax nana, iodamoeba butschlii, naegleria fowleri, acanthamoeba spp, nonpathogenic protozoa (npp) Flagellates - phylum metamonada: trophozoite, nuclei, adhesive discs, flagella, median bodies, cyst, life cycle, pathology, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, giardia lamblia, entero-test, metronidazole, trichomonas, general characteristics, trichomonas vaginalis. Infection with non-pathogenic protozoa often indicates oral-fecal contamination. Entamoeba dispar: trophozoites and cysts are morphologically identical to e. histolytica, so diagnosis has to be made with an elisa. Same morphology as e. histolytica but is smaller. Describe the structure of the nucleus, and its speed of movement. Draw a g. lamblia trophozoite and include the following: adhesive discs, nuclei, flagella, and median bodies. How can infection be prevented: a recurrent flagellum often forms a(n) ________. Describe transmission, diagnosis, and treatment of t. vaginalis. Table 4-1 some important enteric amoebae of humans.
