Parasites Notes, Pt. 1

Parasites- A parasite is an organism that lives on or in a host organism. It gets it food from or at the expense of its host.

There are 3 main classes of parasites that can cause disease in humans: Protozoa, Helminths, and Ectoparasites.

Protozoa Parasites

Protozoa are microscopic, one celled organisms that can be free living or parasitic in nature. They are able to multiply in humans, which not only contributes to their survival but also permits serious infection to develop from just a single organism

Transmission of protozoa that live in the human gastrointestinal tract occurs through the fecal to oral route. This can be done via contaminated water/food or person to person contact.

Protozoa that live in the blood or tissue of humans are transmitted to other humans by arthropod vector, such as a mosquito or sand fly.

The protozoa that are infectious to humans can be classified into four groups based on their mode of movement.

-Sarcodina; the ameba

-Mastigophora; the flagellates

-Ciliophora; the ciliates

-Sporozoa; organisms whose adult stage is not motile

Since I love books & have been enjoying seeing the stacks, I thought I would contribute one of my own. I’m loving this new plant I bought last week, so I thought I would pull some of the vintage books I have in green. 

From bottom to top: “College Zoology” by Robert W. Hegner (MacMillan, 1936); “Astronomy for Students and General Readers” by Simon Newcomb & Edward S. Holden (Henry Holt and Company, 1880); “The Diary of a Young Girl” by Anne Frank (The Modern Library, Random House, 1952); and “Lowell’s Poems” by James Russell Lowell (Henry Altemus Company; undated, c. 1900)  These books are interesting & special to me in a few ways. There is nothing like a vintage book. Despite the damage & wear, they still have things to teach us, stories to tell us. Both textbooks are full of beautiful diagrams (such as this one of a cell, or a photograph of Mars. Can you imagine? This 1879 photograph through a telescope was once the pinnacle of scientific technology.) I hope you enjoy.  [Image description: 1) four vintage books in green cloth covers, stacked in front of a variegated houseplant and a pot of succulents 2) a book open to page 176 of “Lowell’s Poems” to a poem entitled “Impartiality” 3) the stack of books from the top, showing the cover of “Lowell’s Poems” with art nouveau decorative stamped binding, gilt, surrounding a panting of a tree in bloom 4) a reproduction showing a photograph of Mars as taken through a telescope 5) a diagram illustrating the structure of a colony & the various types of cells of class mastigophora]

Flagellata dari filum Mastigophora dicirikan dengan adanya satu hingga beberapa flagella pada ujung anterior tubuh yang berfungsi sebagai alat gerak. Selain dipakai untuk berenang, flagella juga berguna untuk menimbulkan arus yang dapat membawa makanan masuk ke dalam mulutnya. Flagella juga berfungsi sebagai alat untuk mengetahui keadaan lingkungannya. Sebagian besar flagellata hidup bebas, tetapi ada pula yang hidup parasit pada manusia dan hewan, atau saprofit pada organisme mati. Flagelata dibedakan menjadi dua, yaitu fitoflagellata dan zooflagellata. Artikel ini akan membahas rinci zooflagellata. Zooflagellata Zooflagellata Zooflagellata adalah flagellata yang tidak berklorplas dan menyerupai hewan. Zooflagellata berhabitat di air laut dan air tawar. Sebagian besar zooflagellata bersifat parasit, walaupun ada juga yang hidup bebas. Struktur hidup Bentuk tubuh Zooflagellata mirip dengan leher polifera. Zooflagellata mempunyai flagella yang berfungsi untuk menghasilkan aliran air dengan mengoyangkan flagella. Selain itu, flagella juga berfungsi sebagai alat gerak. Reproduksi Reproduksi terjadi secara aseksual dengan pembelahan biner longitudinal, sedangkan reproduksi seksual belum banyak di ketahui. Contoh yang terkenal adalah Trypanosoma dan Leishmania. Kedua nya bersifat parasit pada tubuh manusia atau hewan. Trypanosoma Memiliki tubuh pipih panjang seperti daun dan tidak membentuk sista. Trypanosoma hidup di dalam sel darah merah, sel darah putih, dan sel hati tubuh vertebrata inangnya. Infeksi karena Trypanosoma disebut trypanosomiasis. Dalam siklus hidupnya, Trypanosoma memiliki dua bentuk, yaitu berflagella pada fase ekstraseluler dan tidak berflagella pada fase intraseluler. Sebagian dari siklus hidupnya melekat di sel lambung atau mengisap darah manusia. Hospes prantara Trypanosoma adalah hewan-hewan pengisap darah. Jenis jenis Trypanosoma antara lain adalah Trypanosoma lewisi, Trypanosoma evansi, Trypanosoma brucei, Trypanosoma gambience, Trypanosoma cruzi. Leishmania Leishmania  merupakan penyebab penyakit pada sel-sel endothelium pembuluh darah. Endothelium merupakan sel epitelium yang melapisi jantung, pembuluh darah, pembuluh limfa. Infeksi karena Leishmania disebut leishmaniasis.  Jenis jenis Leishmania antara lain adalah Leishmania donovani, Leishmania tropica, dan Leishmania braciliensis.

Protozoa groups

There are 4 different groups of Protozoa groups. These groups are based on their mode of movement.

Sarcodina (the ameba)

They are a single celled blob of protoplasm and move with pseudopodia, slithering along by flowing their protoplasm forward into a 'foot'.

Mastigophora (the flagellates)

They move with a whip like extension called a flagella which winds spirally and beats or rotates in water to move the organism around.

Ciliophora (the ciliates)

They have hundreds of tiny cilia, often fused together in rows of tuffs called cirri, which beat in unison to propel them through the water.

Sporozoa

They depend on gliding, twisting and bending to move around, leaving behind a trail of circumsporozoite protein.

@GriffithJellies: #jellyfish provide habitat for juvenile fish and are important for sustaining biodiversity in the world's oceans. About 2/3 of these "red bell" jellies (Crambione mastigophora) hosted fish, including these small carangids (trevallies). #GriffithSeaJelliesResearchLab #Ningaloo https://t.co/X90qotNkSf

From Australian Geographic Image of the Week; April 13, 2017:

In The Shadow Of A Bell Jessica Leask

Congratulations to Jessica Leask on this week's winning AG Reader Photo for this stunning capture of a camera-shy juvenile Scribbled Leatherjacket (Aluterus scriptus) hiding behind a Red Bell Jellyfish (Crambione mastigophora) on Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia.

“Blooms of red bell jellyfish often occur on the Ningaloo Reef after a few days of strong northerly winds," explains Jessica.

“If you pay close attention to the jellyfish in deeper water, often you will notice numerous juvenile fish finding refuge from the big scary open ocean. The association is generally believed to be a temporary symbiosis to protect the juvenile fish from predators and possibly provide them with a food source. It took quite some time to capture this image of a juvenile scribbled leatherjacket accompanying a red bell jellyfish, as the leatherjacket would try to avoid me by darting to the other side of the jellyfish or even up inside its bell,” she says.

You can submit your images to us directly HERE.

Reino protoctista

O reino Protoctista é constituído por organismos unicelulares eucariontes representados pelos protozoários e pelas algas. Os protozoários constituem um grupo de eucariontes com 20 mil espécies. Sendo em grande maioria aquáticos, vivem em mares, rios, tanques, aquários, poças, terra úmida e lodo. São microscópicos, porém algumas espécies podem ser vistas a olho nu. Denomina-se pseudópodes, os rizópodes ou sarconídeos, protozoários que se locomovem por expansões do citoplasma. Auxiliam tanto a locomoção como a nutrição.

                            https://sites.google.com/site/sitevoltadoaoensinodebiologia/reinos-da-natureza/reino-protoctista

 Protozoários ameboides – deslocando-se e capturando alimentos através de pseudópodes. Na classificação tradicional tratado como Filo Sarcodina; e na moderna reúne cerca de cinco filos. Protozoários flagelados – locomoção e obtenção de alimentos por meio de batimento flagelar. Antigamente tratados como um único filo (Flagelata ou Mastigophora); hoje considerados em oito filos com características próprias. Protozoários ciliados – que se deslocam ou obtêm alimentos por meio de cílios. Esse é o único grupo que mantém a classificação tradicional (Filo Ciliophora).

Protozoários apicomplexos, ou esporozoários – não possuem estruturas locomotoras e, em algum estágio do ciclo de vida, apresentam uma estrutura proeminente: o complexo apical. Muitas dessas espécies formam esporos.

 O tipo de reprodução mais comum é a assexuada por bipartição, que pode ocorrer em diferentes planos do corpo celular. Há também a reprodução sexuada; nesse caso, os gametas se movem por pseudópodes ou por “flagelos”.

três categorias de filo: os autótrofos unicelulares (algas simples, microscópicas), os autótrofos pluricelulares (algas macroscópicas) e os heterótrofos (protozoários já foram considerados animais, ideia esta ultrapassada, mas que persiste no nome do grupo (proto = primitivo; zoo = animal).
