Phylum PlatyhelminthesGeneral Characteristics1. Flat worms
2. Triploblastic
3. Acoelomate
4. Bilateral symmetry
5. Reproduction Hermaphroditic
Monoecious, internal fertilization, indirect development with complex steps
6. Digestion is incomplete,
Cestoda – no system
7. Nervous System – 1-5 Paired lateral nerve cords & cerebral ganglion Planarian
Platyhelminthes
Characteristics8.20,000 species, about 85% parasitic
9.Excretion - Flame cells
10. Sense organs –
Ocelli = eyespots, Auricles = chemical receptors
Statocysts = gravity, water direction
11. No circulatory, respiratory or skeletal

4 Classes of Platyhelminthes
11
Class Turbellaria – “Commotion-like” Free living
Class Trematoda(Flukes) – “Perforated form” Endo parasiticClass Monogenea – “ Single Origin”
Most are ECTO parasitesClass Cestoda (Tapeworms) – “Girdle form” Endo parasitic
12
1. Class Turbellaria
• Eye spots-OCELLI
• Cilia and slime surface
• Regenerate if cut in two
• Most are free-living
• Found in ponds, streams
and hot springs “FRESHWATER”
• 6 species of terrestrial ones in U.S.
Planaria
• Carnivorous
• Use a pharynx tube to eat
• Regenerative properties
• Chemoreception with auricles
• Light sensitive ocelli

“Ocelli”

2. Class Trematoda
“Clonorchis”Chinese liver fluke
• Flukes• Adults-Endoparasites of
vertebrates/several hosts• Holdfast devices
– Hooks/suckers– Glands produce cyst material
• Complex life cycle• Sense organs are poorly developed
SubClass - Digenea
“means double-race
a.Indirect life cycle
1st intermediate host = mollusk (snail)
Final host = vertebrate
b. Tissue attacked: digestive, respiratory,
circulatory, urinary, reproductive

Asian Liver Fluke
19
Clonorchis sinensis• Human/Asian Liver Fluke also
infects dogs, cats, pigs
• 50 million people
• China, Japan, SE Asia
• Live in bile duct can cause Cirrhosis of liver
• Diarrhea, Edema, Pain
• Controlled by killing snails
• Gotten by eaten UNDERCOOKED or raw fish
20
General Life Cycle
21
A.Egg passes in feces to waterB.Egg hatches into larva called MIRACIDIUMC.Miracidium finds snail, penetrates skin forms SPOROCYSTD. Inside snail, sporocyst produces REDIA asexuallyE. Redia produce CERCARIA with tailsF.CERCARIA emerge from snail and penetrate a second host OR land on vegetation to form METACERCARIA(juvenile flukes)G. Adult grows from metacercaria into JUVENILES when EATEN by the CORRECT DEFINITIVE HOST These are SERIOUS parasites of humans and domestic animals
22
Fasciola hepatica• Sheep liver
fluke• Sheep, cattle
and man–Weight loss
• Eat vegetation with metacercaria
“Sheep Liver Fluke”

Fasciolopsis buski
• Intestinal fluke• 10 million people
• Man and pigs
• Hemorrhage and abscesses of small intestine
25
26
Paragonimus westermani
• Lung fluke
• Carnivores, pigs, rodents and man
• May be fatal
27

29
Schistosoma
• Blood flukes
• 200 million people
• 1 million deaths/year

Life Cycle of a Schistosome Fluke

Blood Flukes(Schistosoma)
Causes the disease – “Schistosomis” which infects over 200 million people in Africa,
S. America and the Middle East.
Swim from snails to penetrate skin of humans to liver, intestines, bladder and form
ULCERS, ABSCESSES, BLOOD IN Stool and ABDOMINAL Pain. Worst = eggs that clog organs Causing pain in urination, cirrhosis of the liver,
31
32
Schistosome
• Cercaria have forked tail
“Blood fluke”
33
34
Swimmers Itch – found in Great Lakes
Schistosome dermatitis = Itching but little harm
35
3. Class Monogenea
• One host
• Ectoparasites
–Mainly fish
• Opisthaptor
–Attachment to host
Class Monogenea
• Found on fish gills
• Bladders of frogs, salamanders
• Eyes of hippos
• Direct life cycle –
Single host
36
37
4. Class Cestoidea• Tape worms
• No digestive system
• 40 feet long
• Structures:
Scolex, proglottid, strobila
• Monoecious
• 1000 species known
• Two host species

More dangerousThan beefTapeworm becauseCysticerci can Breakoff and goTo many organsLike eyes and Brain resulting in Blindness or death
42
Taenia saginata

Life Cycle of the Broad Fish TapewormDiphyllobothrium latum
44
Fish Tapeworm – Diphllobothrium latum
• LONGEST TAPEWORM TO INFECT HUMANS• 65 feet long• Gotten from eating RAW fish/undercooked• US infections are MOST common in GREAT LAKES area• Worm may cause SERIOUS anemia
45
Dipylidium caninum“Dog tapeworm”
46
Echinococcus granulosus
• Parasite of dogs– Host
• Juveniles in sheep, man and other mammals– Intermediate host
• Hydatid cyst
47
48
Hydatid Cyst
• Cysticercus
–Juvenile stage
–Grows slowly in dogs up to 20 yrs
–Filled with 1000’s of scolex’s
–Surgical removal
