Life Cycle Of Filaria Parasites

The life cycle of filaria parasites involves three things, e.g., 1) Mankind –>  Primary vertebrate definitive host. 2) Mosquito –> Secondary invertebrate intermediate host 3) Nematode Parasites –> gest The life cycle of filaria parasites completed into two stages 1) Sexual life cycle of the filaria parasite —> In mankind. 2) Asexual life cycle of filaria parasite —> […]

Clinical Signs and Symptoms Of Filariasis

Filariasis is typically acquired during childhood through the bite of an infected female Quinquefasciatus mosquito. The parasite can remain and multiply undetected for up to 18 years inside the body. The disease usually manifests many years later, in adulthood. The microfilariae (Mf) damage the lymphatic system, resulting in lymphedema of the arms, breasts, and legs. […]

Immunity To Malaria

Repeated infections with malaria parasites lead to the acquisition of antibodies directed against various antigens of different stages of malaria parasites, as well as cell-mediated immunity. The immunity is, to a large extent but not completely, specific to the species of malaria parasite. People in India will have a higher degree of immunity to local […]

Diabetes—Types, Symptoms & Management

Morphology of Plasmodium Ovale

Plasmodium ovale is a species of malaria first described in 1914 by Stephens from a blood sample taken from a patient in Pachmarhi, Madhya Pradesh, India, during the autumn of 1913. It was initially confused with P. vivax (Pv) due to its tertian fever pattern (temperature returns every 48 hours) and morphological similarity. It was […]

Morphology and Characteristics of Plasmodium knowlesi

Morphology and Characteristics of Plasmodium knowlesi The parasite Plasmodium knowlesi was first described by the Italian physician Giuseppe Franchini in 1927. He noted that this parasite was distinct from others found in the blood of the long-tailed macaque. The parasite was clearly observed again in 1931 in a long-tailed macaque by H.G.M. Campbell in Calcutta, […]

Sexual Cycle of the Malaria Parasite

The sexual cycle of the malaria parasite begins when the Anopheles mosquito vector sucks the blood of an infected human (a gametocyte carrier). The mosquito takes in all stages of the malaria parasite during this blood meal. However, except for the gametocytes, all the remaining stages, including the ring stage, trophozoites, and schizonts, are digested […]

Morphology of Plasmodium Malariae

Morphology of Plasmodium Malariae This parasite was discovered by Laveran in the year 1881. It produces quartan malaria in humans. Quartan malaria means the fever comes after every 72 hours. The following stages are found in P. malariae: 1) Ring (Young Trophozoite) 2) Trophozoites 3) Mature Schizont 4) Male Gametocyte 5) Female Gametocyte Infected RBC

Morphology of Plasmodium Falciparum

Morphology of Plasmodium Falciparum Plasmodium falciparum was discovered by Welch in 1897. It is found only in human beings. It is also called malignant tertian malaria or pernicious malaria. In P. falciparum infection, the commonest asexual forms of the parasite detectable in peripheral circulation are rings, gametocytes, and sometimes early trophozoites. Multiple infections may occur, […]

Morphology of Plasmodium Vivax

Morphology of Plasmodium Vivax This parasite was discovered by Grassi and Feletti in 1890. The name “vivax” was given to the species because of its amoeboid nature. P. vivax causes a disease in humans called benign tertian malaria. This parasite shows a greater tendency to invade younger red blood cells (RBCs). There are mainly four […]
