Identify the parasite egg:

Parasite capable of autoreinfection

Killed adult guinea worms (or pieces of them) in the skin may initiate severe infection, leading to ________

D. Latum has the unusual capability of absorbing _________

Drug of choice for several filarial infections including those caused by Wuchereria bancrofti and Brugia malayi and for eye worm disease (Loa loa).

A condition in which not enough red blood cells are produced due to deficiency of vitamin B12 in the body.

Identify the parasite:

A cestode that commonly infects canids, felids, and pet owners, especially children

Paralyzes Ascaris by blocking acetylcholine at the myoneural junction.

A structural congener of mebendazole and has a similar action on microtubules

increases membrane permeability to calcium, causing marked contraction initially and then paralysis of trematode and cestode muscles; this is followed by vacuolization and parasite death.

a codrug of choice (with triclabendazole) for treatment of fascioliasis (sheep liver fluke) and an alternative agent in paragonimiasis.

Schistosoma haematobium is the causative agent of this disease

an organophosphate prodrug that is converted in the body to the cholinesterase inhibitor dichlorvos.

Effective solely in Schistosoma mansoni infections, acting on male immature forms and adult schistosomal forms.

An alternative drug to praziquantel for infections caused by beef, pork, and fish tapeworm.

Effective in the treatment of infections from small and large intestinal flukes

The half-life of diethylcarbamazine increases significantly by __________

Identify the parasite:

Intensifies γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-mediated neurotransmission in nematodes and causes immobilization of parasites, facilitating their removal by the reticuloendothelial system.

Acts by selectively inhibiting microtubule synthesis and glucose uptake in nematodes.

This drug may act by uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation or by activating ATPases.

Color of staphylococcus in gram staining

It is used to identify different strains of staphylococcus

A heterogeneous protein that acts on a broad spectrum of eukaryotic cell membranes.

_______ degrades sphingomyelin and therefore is toxic for many kinds of cells, including human red blood cells.

_______ is heterogeneous and dissociates into subunits in nonionic detergents

True

False

This chemical compound is used in catalase test

S. Aureus is facultative anaerobe infections

True

False

This is an enzyme that breaks H2O2 into H2O and O2 and the bubbling that is seen is due to evolution of O2 gas.

This drug is used for erythrocytic stage only (not for those with arrythmia)

Associated with fever, shock, and multisystem involvement, including a desquamative skin rash.

The non-pathogenic plasmodium specie

Blood schizonticides active against P falciparum, including multidrug-resistant strains

4-aminoquinoline derivative
