Trichinosis is an infection caused by the roundworm. Many symptoms include the following: diarrhea, abdominal cramps, fever and muscle pain. Roundworm parasites use an host’s to reproduce and live. The reason why people acquire this infection by eating raw or undercooked, contaminated meat, pork and bear. The roundworm appeared in the middle of the Miocene period, which was around 70 million years ago. It is an disorder from the small roundworm and can be found in the stomach and small intestine. The larvae live in the muscle tissue of animals mainly pigs, wild boars, bears, walruses and other carnivores. Trichinosis is prevented by cooking your meats especially pork and pork products. Some of the causes of Trichinosis is eating undercooked …show more content…
First the host must be infected with the larvae or the parasite. To be infected , the host must eat the larvae and it will end up in the intestines, hatch and start to affect the host. To be infected by the roundworm, the host must step in contaminated soil with their barefoot. This type of infection does not spread onto other individuals. Having the infection has nothing to do with genetics or inheriting diseases from parents. When infected, the treatments must start as soon as possible. When going to go treatment, a doctor must and will make the decision to treat the infection based on the symptoms. Safe and effective prescription drugs can treat the infection and the symptoms. When it comes to the reproduction of the roundworm, the female is bigger than the male. When they mate, females will lay up to 200,000 eggs per day . The affected host will only hold 5,000. The eggs can be found in human feces and or contaminated water. The remaining eggs will be hatched in the intestine. When the host gets infected by the skin, the worm will find an blood vessel and makes it way to the respiratory system. It will then makes it way to throat were the host will swallow them and go through the digestive system and will end up the intestine
The new guinea flatworm is from the united states of America.this worm is native to the island of New Guinea where it was originally to have been found in. You can find these worms in tropical areas,coastlands ,planted forests, riparian zones shrubs and urban areas as well.it feeds on earthworms ,slugs and arthopods. This worm can harm the snail called The Giant East African Snail. This worm also can mainly eat mollusks and it especially likes to prey on snail. To hunt for it's prey the worm deposits itself to the bottom of a cabbage leave. It also can follow snail mucus trails to find it`s trail. It also has a infectious rate at least 14.1% and this thing usually lives on cabbage leaves. This worm not only affects the whole population of animals or a specific area this worm can affect humans as
Just last month, a deadly worm was found in not one, but four locations in the U.S. state of Florida. This worm, until recently, was documented in only twenty-one countries, most of which were island nations. Although the New Guinea Flatworm may seem as a highly dangerous predator, it is only about two inches in length and mainly targets snails for its nutrition. These worms are not harmful to humans, but they will feast on any soft creature in the soil. In order to eat snails or any critters with a hard shell, the New Guinea Flatworm latches itself onto the shell’s opening and then spits out its own stomach through the opening in its belly. This allows an acidic goo to dissolve the snail’s flesh and the worm can continue on with its meal by swallowing both its stomach and the snail.
Guinea Worm disease caused by the infection of a guinea worm also called dracunculiasis. The infection is spread through water sources that contains the guinea worm in which they don’t present symptoms that fast. After a year of been infected that patient present symptoms of intense pains of burning mostly in their legs and dizziness, as we have seen in the video where the disease appears every April of each year. This disease is mainly found in Africa.
The lifecycle of a heartworms begins when a female mosquito ingest blood containing microfilariae from a heartworm infected animal. Inside the body of the mosquito, the microfilariae develops into first stage larvae (L1) and then undergoes two more process to develop into third stage larvae (L3) of which is the infective stage. Depending on the temperature, this development process can take between eight and thirty days. At this point, when the infected mosquito attaches to a cat and feeds on its blood, the third-stage larva is transferred into the mosquito bite wound. Within three days of entering the cat, the L3 molt to the L4 stage in the tissues and muscles that lay just below the skin of the cat. After about two months of migrating through the muscles and tissues, the L4 undergoes a final development into immature adult heartworms. Seventy to ninety days post infection, the immature adult heartworms then enter a peripheral vein and are carried by the cat’s blood circulation system to the caudal pulmonary arteries. This is where the majority of heartworms are cleared from the cat due to a mass immune response, but a few may continue development into adults. Once the heartworm develop into adults, they invade the heart first and then spread to other organs in the body and cause
The life cycle of this worm is fairly simple; they first find a intermediate host and then produce offspring inside that creature. These offspring will then exit the host and find another creature to bury inside where they will stay unti the creauture
The most common way this disease is transmitted from one animal to the next is through mosquitoes. A mosquito carrying infective heartworm larvae bites a dog and transmits the infection to them. The larvae grow, develop, and migrate in the body over a period of 6 to 7 months, in which time they become sexually mature male and female worms. this is the prepatent period. The worms then reside in the heart, lungs, and associated blood vessels. The worms begin to mate and release microfilaria into the blood
far more dangerous, due to the potential that the larva will migrate to the brain,
In humans the larval form of the worm cannot develop in the stomach so it moves into the muscle of its human victims. It would then travel to under the skin. It would then move throughout the body for a period of 4 to 12 years. The migration of the worm through the body is due to it not being use to a human host. The migration of the worm can lead to the brain and cause death in particularly severe cases.
The Liver Fluke worm is another name for a type of flatworms. Liver fluke is a chronic parasitic disease of the bile ducts. The adult worms can be found in the liver of infected animals and humans, but mainly sheep and cattle. An adult fluke lays 2000-4000 eggs each day. You can get Liver flukes by consuming raw/undercooked meat. Adult flukes settle in your small ducts and can live there for 20-30 years! The most well known species that causes liver flukes is called Clonorchis Sinensis. Around 35 million people are infected with liver gloom throughout the world, Liver Flukes are the most common parasites in the U.S. They can be found everywhere such as swimming pools, hot tubs, gym floors, public bathrooms, and toilet flush levers.
Ringworm is fundamentally a contagious contamination that happens in the skin. The restorative term for ringworm is 'Tinea". The condition is further named for the body 's site where the contamination happens. It would appear that a red aggravated ring with dark textured and sketchy skin inside the ring. It gets extremely scratchy, bothering, and it once in a while stings your skin, enticing you to scratch it all the more regularly.

The parasite that causes ringworm relies on upon the territory where the individual is being influenced. Tinea corporisis the organism that contaminates the skin, for instance neck, armpits, waist, hands and pubic
A person can obtain a tapeworm parasite through the ingestion of raw meat from infected animals or by consuming the parasite in tablet form. After a person consumes a tapeworm, traveling through the body, eating as it moves around. The tapeworm usually consumes a significant portion of a person’s food to cause a calorie shortage and weight loss. Certain tapeworms can grow up to 15-30 feet in length and live up to 20 years in the host. When the tapeworm dieter decides that they have lost enough weight, they take antibiotics to kill the parasite, eventually leaving the body in a bowel movement. People have been known to take drugs designed to reduce the lifespan of the tapeworm so that it is already dead when it is removed from the body.
Trichinosis also referred to as trichinellosis is caused by ingesting the larvae of the parasitic roundworm species called Trichinella. The infection commonly occurs after eating raw or undercooked meat from animals such as domestic pigs or wild boar, horses, bear or cougar. The Trichinella larvae will form a cyst within the striated muscles of these animals and once ingested will mature into adult worms in the small intestine after 1-2 days. These adult worms will mate and produce eggs, which will then develop into larvae that cross into the blood system and migrate to striated muscles where they form cysts. The clinical presentation of Trichinosis varies
Cysticercosis is an infection that happens after eating the eggs of the pork tapeworm Taenia solium. This infection causes sacs (cysts) to form in the intestines. You can become infected with the tapeworm by consuming contaminated food or water. Cysticercosis often spreads by eating undercooked, contaminated pork.
Early Stages: how ringworm may begin to show up in various parts of your body: A gentle smouldering sensation alongside tingling; as the tingle remains longer, irritation settles in. The contaminated part gets to be rosy and flaky; the kindled zone will begin to form into a round rash. In the event that the contamination is on the scalp, the hair on the spot would get to be weak then breaks and would result to a transitory balding. Also ringworm of the fingernails shows itself by making the nails swell. At that point they turn fragile and yellow
Their symptoms will consist of bloody diarrhea, nausea, weight loss and abdominal pain. It is transferred the same way as it is in digs; by fecal matter. They mostly occur in children due to hands in mouth and so forth. Also in mainly hot humid areas with very low sanitation anywhere.
