What do you need to know to diagnose parasites? These slides introduce methods for identifying parasites by shape and size, number of legs, sex, and where found in the host animal or environment. Accessed 2022 from Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences PEER Program site.
This presentation provides an introduction to diarrheal diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, parasites and other disease causing agents or pathogens. Furthermore, we’ll look at the range of syndromes associated with diarrhea and uncover two significant pathogens: rotavirus and vibrio cholera. Finally, we’ll delve into methods for managing diarrheal diseases and the significance of sanitation in preventing diarrheal diseases.

"Wastewater treatment plants are a critical piece of infrastructure that depend on microbes, both resident and incoming. Incoming microbes can be beneficial but may include parasites that need to be removed. Resident microbes, meanwhile, help break down organic waste. While much is known about bacteria in wastewater treatment plants, eukaryotes are frequently overlooked. Recently, researchers examined the whole microbiome of 10 wastewater treatment plants in Switzerland. They utilized metagenomics to measure which microbes were present and metatranscriptomics to analyze their activity. Bacteria were the most numerous— but eukaryotes, particularly protists, showed the most activity, and there was a surprising number and range of active parasites, which were particularly prevalent in the inflow. Network analysis suggested predation by resident microbes likely helped remove parasites..."

"Kinetoplastids are microscopic flagellated protozoans. They may not look like much, but these parasites are responsible for diseases that affect millions of people worldwide including Leishmaniasis, Sleeping Sickness, and Chagas Disease. Despite their role in global health concerns, however, effective drug treatments for these parasites are lacking. While different parasites are responsible for each of these conditions and they are transmitted by different vectors, the cellular and molecular biology of Kinetoplastids are quite similar. Taking advantage of this, an international team of scientists has developed three new anti-parasitic compound groups to combat these devastating microorganisms. By screening nearly 2 million compounds against the three target kinetoplastids, the team was able to identify those with potential anti-parasitic effects. They then characterized these molecules’ chemical and physiological properties and grouped them by their potential use for each disease..."

LA ASOCIACIÓN ENTRE DOS ORGANISMOS DE DIFERENTE ESPECIE RECIBE EL NOMBRE DE SIMBIOSIS Y LAS DISTINTAS SIMBIOSIS TOMAN DENOMINACIONES DIFERENTES DE ACUERDO CON LOS RESULTADOS DE LA ASOCIACIÓN. LA SIMBIOSIS PUEDE SER DE CUATRO TIPOS: MUTUALISMO, COMENSALISMO, FORESIS Y PARASITISMO. ESTA INFOGRAFÍA FORMA PARTE DE LOS RECURSOS EDUCATIVOS DEL CURSO DE PARASITOLOGÍA PARA LOS ALUMNOS DEL PROGRAMA EDUCATIVO DE QUÍMICO FARMACÉUTICO BIÓLOGO.
