Examples of helminth in the following topics:
-
- Helminths are parasitic worms that live and feed on living hosts to receive nourishment and protection which results in illness of the host.
- Parasitic worms that inhabit the intestinal tract (blood, tissue and organs) of humans are referred to as helminths.
- Helminths share numerous characteristics that contribute to their parasitic quality including the presence of attachment organs.
- These attachment organs allow these particular helminths to reside within their human host.
- Ascaris lumbricoides, the cause of Ascariasis, is a type of soil transmitted helminth.
-
- Helminths, or parasitic worms, are eukaryotic parasites characterized by their ability to feed and live on living hosts.
- Helminths and multicellular eukaryotes, can either be free-living or parasitic.
- In their adult form, helminths are unable to multiply in humans and utilize numerous mechanisms of transmission to ensure reproductive success.
- The classification and identification of helminths are dependent on numerous factors including body shape, body cavity, body covering, digestive tubing, sex and type of attachment organs.
-
- Parasitic worms, often referred to as helminths, are a division of eukaryotic parasites.
- Parasitic worms, often referred to as helminths, are a division of eukaryotic parasites.
- Helminths often find their way into a host through contaminated food or water, soil, mosquito bites, and even sexual acts.
- The host's lymphatic system is also increasingly taxed the longer helminths propagate, as they excrete toxins after feeding.
- List the four groups of parasitic worms (helminths), routes of transmission and risk factors
-
- Two major classes of parasitic organisms include protozoa and helminths.
- Helminths are characterized as various types of parasitic worms, which are effectively targeted by promoting expulsion from the body.
- Parasitic helminths worms include: tapeworms, flukes, leeches and hookworms.
- The drugs utilized to target helminths are characterized based on chemical structure and mechanism of action.
- Describe the objective of drugs against helminths anf the disadvantages to developing drugs against protozoa
-
- A group of eukaryotic organisms consisting of the flatworms and roundworms, which are collectively referred to as the helminths.
- Since the parasitic helminths are of clinical importance, they are often discussed along with the other groups of microbes.
-
- Tapeworms are helminths capable of targeting the digestive system, but require various hosts for successful growth and transmission.
-
- Some eukaryotic organisms, such as protists and helminths, cause disease.
-
- Organisms expected to be found in the human microbiome may generally be categorized as bacteria (the majority), archaea, yeasts, and single-celled eukaryotes as well as various helminth parasites and viruses, such as those that infect cellular microbiome organisms.
