Introduction -Definitions• Parasitism :(التطفل) a relationship in which one organism
(parasite) lives at the expense of another (host).
• Endoparasite :( داخلى a parasite which lives within the (طفيلbody of the host, e.g. protozoa and helminthes
• Ectoparasite :( خارجى lives on the body surface of the (طفيلhost e.g. insects
• Habitat:( العائل داخل الطفيل the organ in which the (مقرparasite exists in the body of the host.
• Final host:( النهائى harbors the adult or sexually mature(العائلparasite.
• Intermediate host : ( الوسيط harbors the immature stages (العائلor asexual stages of a parasite that show significant development.
![Page 3: 1-Clinical Parasitology](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020217/54e5e0fc4a79594c358b457c/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Definitions• Reservoir host : ( المخزن the animal that holds the (العائل
same stage of the same species of a parasite that man holds and contributes to the perpetuation of the parasite life cycle in nature.
• Transport host (Paratenic): the intermediate host that carries the larva of the parasite without significant development (with arrested development).
• Vector مخزن غير موجه an arthropod or a snail IH that ( :(ناقلdirects a parasite to a certain host within certain conditions.
• Exit stage ( الخروج The stage that gets out of the host :(طورand aids in diagnosis (diagnostic stage).
• Inlet stage or infective stage ( المعدى الطور أو االدخول :(طورThe stage that enters the host and causes the infection.
![Page 4: 1-Clinical Parasitology](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020217/54e5e0fc4a79594c358b457c/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• Auto-infection ( الذاتية when a host infects himself; this :(العدوىoccurs when the infective stage is the exit stage.
• Patent infection: infection with an exit stage out of the host in clinical sample and which contributes to perpetuation of the life cycle.
• Non patent infection: infection without exit stage out of the host. • Routes of infection or entry of the infective stages:1. By ingestion of: larva, egg, cyst or oocyst in contaminated foods & drinks.2. Entry of larva, trophozoites, sporozoites or cysts through contact with skin ulcer
and abrasion, or by active penetration, or via inoculation by an insect.3. Through epithelia of mucosal surfaces, of the eye, olfactory epithelium or
respiratory tracts.4. Congenital transmission.5. Blood transfusion.
![Page 5: 1-Clinical Parasitology](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020217/54e5e0fc4a79594c358b457c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Host-Parasite Relationship1. Infection: means establishment of a parasite existence within
the host accompanied or not with its development and reproduction.
This means host parasite interaction passes through 4 stages: initial contact (contamination), establishment within suitable habitat, development and lastly reproduction.
2. Immune response:• When a parasite antigens come into contact with the host
immune system (cells), these cells interact with the parasite antigens (structures or excretion and secretions) to induce:
A. Parasite immune-evasion,
B. Host immune-protection (immunity or resistance)
C. Host immune-pathogenesis
D. or aid in immune-diagnosis.
![Page 6: 1-Clinical Parasitology](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020217/54e5e0fc4a79594c358b457c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Host-Parasite Relationship3. Disease (Pathogenesis):• The occurrence of infection does not necessarily
imply the occurrence of disease. • Disease only occurs if the anatomical and/or the
physiological integrity of the host were broken down. • If infection leads to this breakdown it induces disease.
Disease is usually presented by signs and symptoms.• Opportunistic infection: infection that does not
cause disease in immune competent host, but if the host immunity is impaired it does.
![Page 7: 1-Clinical Parasitology](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020217/54e5e0fc4a79594c358b457c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Host-Parasite Relationship
• How do Parasites damage their hosts?
1.Competing for nutrients (e.g. Hookworms and D. latum).
2.Disrupting tissues (e.g. Hydatid disease, myiasis and Tungiasis).
3.Destroying cells (e.g. malaria, hookworm, and schistosomiasis).
4.Mechanical blockage (e.g. Ascaris).
5.Severe disease often is induced by immune / inflammatory response.

Host parasite relationship 1. Mild infection is almost asymptomatic
2. Heavy infection induces local intestinal inflammation and intermittent diarrhea
3. The small eggs may be inoculated into the blood vesels and migrate to heart and brain resulting in embolic manifestations.
4. Myocarditis and neurological complications are reported
![Page 14: 1-Clinical Parasitology](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020217/54e5e0fc4a79594c358b457c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

II. Epidemiology• Geographical distribution: Egypt and
sheep and cattle raising countries.• Transmission: 1. Intermediate host (I.H.): Lymnaea is
1st I.H. and vegetable is 2nd I.H.2. Reservoir hosts: Sheep and cattle act
as final reservoir hosts3. Infective stage: Encysted metacercaia4. Mode of infection: Ingestion of raw

III. Host-Parasite Relationship• Immune responses:Humoral: Early development of IgM, IgE, IgG1 and IgG2 to
ES Fasciola Ags. These are of limited role in protection.Cellular: Peripheral eosinophilia and lymphocytosis. The response in the invasive phase is due to Th1
cytokines.Th2 type cytokines predominate when the worms reside in
the bile canaliculi. • Effector protective mechanisms against JF : The toxic NO produced by IFNγ activated macrophages. ADCC; IgG1, IgE, IgA, IgG2a dependent macrophage,
eosinophil, and platelet cytotoxicity This leads to release of the killing granules: ECP, MBP and
eosinophil peroxides.
![Page 21: 1-Clinical Parasitology](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020217/54e5e0fc4a79594c358b457c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
III. Host-Parasite Relationship• Pathogenesis:• Acute fasciolitic hepatitis during the migratory phase in
liver. It is manifestecd by fever, eosinophilia and allergic features.
• Chronic biliary fascioliasis when the worm resides in the biliary passages causing duct hyperplasia due to excessive proline secretion and biliary obstruction
• This→ jaundice and haematobilia → anaemia. The worm secreted proline also contributes to anaemia via its inhibitory effect on erythropioesis.
• Fasciolitic pharyngitis (Halzoun) caused by the presence of adult in the pharynx after eating infected raw sheep liver infectd with adults..

Female is ~ 26 mm cylindrical and smooth carried by the male. Habitat in the final host:
Inf. mesenteric veins draininnig large intestines in S. mansoni. vesical plexus draining urinary bladder in S. hematobium.
Exit stage: mature egg in stool (S.mansoni) and in urine (S. hematobium).
![Page 32: 1-Clinical Parasitology](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020217/54e5e0fc4a79594c358b457c/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
![Page 33: 1-Clinical Parasitology](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020217/54e5e0fc4a79594c358b457c/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
![Page 34: 1-Clinical Parasitology](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020217/54e5e0fc4a79594c358b457c/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
II. Epidemiology Geographical distribution: Africa, south America,
Middle East and Portugal. Transmission:
1. Intermediate host (I.H.): The snails; Biomphalaria is I.H. of S.mansoni and Bulinus is I.H. of S
hematobium.
2. Reservoir hosts: No animal reservoir hosts.
3. Infective stage: Free swimming cecaria in fresh water
4. Mode of infection: free cercaria penetrates skin
![Page 35: 1-Clinical Parasitology](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020217/54e5e0fc4a79594c358b457c/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
III. Host-Parasite Relationship
A. Early cell mediated immunity before egg laying.
B. Late humoral antibody dependent cell mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC).
• Immune responses:
![Page 36: 1-Clinical Parasitology](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020217/54e5e0fc4a79594c358b457c/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
• Pathogenesis1. Cercarial dermatitis (swimmer's itch): maculo-papilar rash in areas of skin exposed to cercaria S.
haematobium, S.mansoni and to avian schistosome infection.
– It is due to immediate or late hypersensitivity reaction that begins 1-2 days after exposure. It
more common among the newcomers to endemic areas.
2. Acute schistosomiasis (Takayama fever): fever occurs weeks after the primary infection.
– It is due to massive IFN-γ and TNF-α cytokines of TH1 response priming for granuloma formation
around the eggs.
![Page 37: 1-Clinical Parasitology](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020217/54e5e0fc4a79594c358b457c/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
• Pathogenesis1. Chronic schistosomiasis: occurs due to TH2
cytokine response that strongly expands the granuloma size.
2. The cellular components of this granuloma are plenty of eosinophils plus macropages,
fibroblasts and lymphocytes. Eosinophil mediated chronic inflammatory reactions predispose to
fibrosis around the eggs in tissues of the affected organs.
3. Downregultion of fibrosis is associated with diminshed TH2 cytokines and increased TH1
cytokines.

• Pathogenesis• The manifestations in the chronic stage include:
In S. mansoni:a) Colonic polyps with bloody diarrhea
b) Periportal fibrosis → portal hypertension with hematemesis and splenomegaly.
In S. hematobium:a) Cystitis (sq cell carcinoma), ureteritis with hematuria.
b) Ureteric stricture induces hydronephrosis
c) CNS disorders and core pulmonale occur earlier in S.hematobium due to direct passages of eggs from
bladder and ureteral veins into systemic veins than in S. japonicum and mansoni.
d) In the latters they occur later after the onset of portosystemic shunts.
![Page 40: 1-Clinical Parasitology](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020217/54e5e0fc4a79594c358b457c/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
