What is done with a book?
name the phylum of animal kingdom to which 'parasitic worms' cousing diseases , such as filarial worm, round worm belong.
Which insect causes elephantiasis?
Elephantiasis is usually caused by a blockage of the lymphatic system by threadlike filarial worms, Wuchereria bancrofti.
What does elephantiasis mostly result from?
The agents responsible for most of the elephantiasis in the world are filarial worms
What worms can live inside the human body?
Flatworms such as tape worms and flukes, and roundworms such as trichinosis-causing worms, filarial worms, ascarid worms and hook worms.
What diseases are caused by macro parasites?
Macroparasites are larger parasites, typically visible to the naked eye, such as worms and arthropods. They can cause a variety of diseases in humans and animals, including schistosomiasis (caused by blood flukes), ascariasis (caused by roundworms), and lymphatic filariasis (caused by filarial worms). Other examples include infections from hookworms and tapeworms, as well as diseases transmitted by ectoparasites like ticks and fleas, which can lead to conditions such as Lyme disease and plague. These infections often result in significant morbidity and can impact overall health and well-being.
What does the filarial worm do?
Filarial worms are parasites that can infect humans and other animals, causing diseases such as lymphatic filariasis and onchocerciasis. These worms reside in the lymphatic system or subcutaneous tissues, leading to symptoms like swelling, skin changes, and potentially serious health complications if left untreated. Transmission occurs primarily through the bite of infected mosquitoes.
Why do we study body systems of worms?
We study the body systems of worms so that we learn how to eliminate those that are dangerous and cause diseases to humans.
Why the filarial worms are enter into the perpheral blood between 10pm to 2 am?
night feeding habit of the intermediate host of filarial worm i.e, female culex mosquito is the reason why they have been seeing in the peripheral blood only during night time
Bactreria fungi and parasitic worms are examples of disease?
Bacteria, fungi, and parasitic worms are not diseases themselves but rather types of pathogens that can cause diseases in humans and other organisms. Bacterial infections, fungal infections, and parasitic diseases can lead to various health issues, ranging from mild to severe. For example, bacteria may cause ailments like strep throat, fungi can lead to athlete's foot, and parasitic worms can result in conditions like schistosomiasis. Understanding these pathogens is crucial for diagnosis and treatment of the diseases they cause.
What is the type of pathogen that causes the disease elephantiasis?
Elephantiasis or filariasis, is a parasitic infestation of nematodes. The three nematode species that infect humans and cause filariasis are Brugia malayi , Brugia timori , and Wuchereria bancrofti .
