Parasitology

Tutorial 4

Practice writing either short notes or essay on these topics below:

1) Life cycle of Entamoeba histolytica

2) Lifecycle Toxoplasma gondii
3) Female trichomoniasis
4) Lifecycle of Plasmodium falciparum
5) Elephantiasis
6) Discuss about soil transmitted helminth along with prevention.
7) Loefflers syndrome
8) Schistosomiasis
9) Hydatid disease of the liver

Tips:
When writing on lifecycle, depending on the parasite, pay attention on:
i. Mode/site of infection
ii. Infective stage
iii. Site of excystation (if any)
iv. Primary habitat
v. Invasive stage
vi. Migration to other parts of the body
vii. Pathology in the path of migration
viii. Exit site

In the case of plasmodium and toxoplasma, lifecycle in mosquito and cat respectively do not
need to be elaborated. It is sufficient if you draw/mention mosquito/cat and state what
happens in mosquito/cat.
