Introduction
• Endoparasites– Nematodes– Cestodes – Trematodes – Protozoa
• Ectoparasites – Ticks, fleas, lice, mites, biting flies

Signs of parasites
• Diarrhea• Vomiting• Anemia• Intestinal obstruction• Malnutrition (hypoproteinemia)• Lack of weight gain• Milk production• (itching)

Transmission
• Direct– Often fecal-oral route
• Transport hosts (intermediate host)– Organism completes a development stage– Short transitory period
• Definitive host (primary host)– Lives, reaches maturity, reproduces

Roundworm characteristics
• Live and move about in tissues– Intestines, lungs, kidneys, urinary bladder, muscle,
blood
• Eggs and larvae most commonly found in the feces – Intestinal
• Ascarids• Hookworms• Whipworms
![Page 9: Parasitology. Monday March 23, 2015 What is an endoparasite? Can you think of an example of an endoparasite? What is an ectoparasite? Can you think of](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e885503460f94b8be3c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Nematodes - Ascarids
• Toxocara species (spp)– Toxocara canis, Toxocara cati
• Eggs– Large, round – oval, dark colored, thick shell
• Stages – Eggs are ingested– Hatch in small intestine– Larvae penetrate mucosa of intestine, migrate through
tissues (liver/heart/lungs) – Larvae are coughed up and swallowed and make way back to
intestine

• Prenatal/transplacental migration of T. canis– Larvae leave the circulation and are stored in
tissues/organs– Dog becomes pregnant– Larvae leave the tissues at 42-56 day of gestation– Cross placenta and enter lungs of fetuses – Puppies are born with the larvae in their lungs and
cycle continues as the larvae mature and enter intestines
– T. canis and T. cati : some larvae migrate to mammary glands and are ingested by puppies and kittens when they nurse

• Eggs are ingested by small child
• Larvae hatch and migrate through liver, lungs, eyes
• Called visceral larva migrans

Medication for ascarids/ roundworms
• Fenbendazole, milbemycin oxime, moxidectin, and pyrantel pamoate
• Pyrantel is available in a highly palatable liquid formulation that is readily administered to nursing animals and thus may be considered the preferred treatment for very young pups.
• To prevent environmental contamination, all pups should be routinely treated with pyrantel pamoate at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks of age and then placed on a monthly heartworm preventative with efficacy against Toxocara spp.

Oocysts
• Thick walled spore that protects
• Cyst is ingested, wall is digested away, trophozite is released and immediate divides into two organisms
• Binary fusion

Coccidia
• Isospora– Oocysts in the feces– Sporulates (divide/ become infective)– 2 sporocysts• Each enclose four sporozoites• Total of 8 infective forms per oocyst
– Walls are digested and sporozoites penetrate intestinal cells
– Grow, replicate, mature, “reproduce”– After fertilization, oocyst is produced and cycle
starts over– Causes diarrhea• Affects very young and immune compromised animals• If severe infestation can mimic parvovirus and even be
fatal

• Flea lifecycle stages:
• Egg - The flea egg hatches in 2-21 days, depending on environmental conditions.
• Three larval stages - The larval stages grow and undergo their moults over about 9-15 days.
• The pupal stage (cocoon) - The cocoon is the crux of flea infestation persistence in the house-hold. It generally hatches in 1-2 weeks, but can last up to a year.
• The adult flea - Adult fleas can live for some weeks (maximum of about 2 months if no host is present) in ideal conditions.

Common species of ticks
• Two families of ticks –soft ticks and hard ticks• Ixodid family (hard ticks)– Brown dog tick– Lone star tick– Deer tick
• Diseases– babesia, ehrlichia, rocky mountain spotted tick
fever, lyme, tularemia, anaplasmosis

• Tick and Fleas medications are aimed at killing different stages of the parasites– Eggs– Larvae– Pupae (cocoons – fleas)– Nymphs– Adults

• Neurotoxins – Fipronil (Frontline) – Imidaclopride (Advantix)– Permethrin (common brands)
Only kill adultsOther ingredients work synergistically as IGRs (Insect
Growth Regulators)RepellantsAmitraz (for ticks)Cats- Use caution!!!

Mites
• Sarcoptic mites– Sarcoptes scabiei– Burrow into the epidermis• Pruritic skin condition• Rash• Scaling, crusting, excoriation
– 4 stage life cycle spent on the host• Eggs• Larvae• Nymph• Adult (takes 12- 17 days to become adult)
– Contagious by direct contact• Zoonotic but self limiting in people

Ear Mites
• Otodectes cynotis– Reside within external ear canal– 5 stage lifecycle lived on host• Egg, larva, protonymph, deutonymph, adult
– Common cause of otitis externa in dogs, cats, ferrets
– Feed on dead cells on the ear canal / produce intense irritation
– Head shaking/ scratching ears• Aural hematomas
– Sometimes can be seen with otoscope• Prepared slide• Brown exudate usually will have mites moving around

Demodex
• Demodex Mites• Live in hair follicles and sebaceous glands– Normal and nonpathogenic
• Host specific / not transmissible
• An increase of these mites is called demodicosis– Immune system related– May be localized to one area or generalized / all
over

• Cheyletiella– Live on surface of skin – ingesting skin “debris”– Host is dog, cat, rabbit– “Walking dandruff”– Diagnostics• View moving “flakes” through magnifying glass• Cellophane tape• Flea comb• Area: dorsal midline and head
