Which is the most common parasitic disease in industrialized nations? What are the signs of giardiasis? Which infections are diagnosed using a blood smear? Which vector spreads more parasitic diseases than any other? Which stage of the protozoan life cycle is the feeding and reproducing stage? Which organism is transmitted exclusively through sexual activity? How does an adult tapeworm attach to a host intestine? How would you catch Taenia solium? Your patient is a 45-year-old male. He is having difficulty breathing, a cough, and is running a fever. He is an avid bird-watcher who recently visited a nature reserve where hundreds of bird species build their nests and raise their young. What fungal infection(s) might he have contracted? What diagnostic tests would confirm the diagnosis? What treatment might be prescribed? Discuss the life cycle of the organism responsible for causing malaria (identify the organism, its hosts, and mode of transmission). How does the life cycle for the Trypanosoma that causes sleeping sickness differ from the one that causes Chagas' disease? A hunter was camping with his dog near a mountain spring where beavers were building a dam, and many animals came to drink. After a month, he developed severe watery diarrhea, abdominal pain, bloating, vomiting, and low-grade fever. His stool had a "rotten-egg" smell of hydrogen sulfide. What is the most likely parasite causing this patient's condition, and how is the diagnosis confirmed?

Which of the following statements about Leishmaniasis is FALSE? It occurs in three different forms that vary in severity. It is caused by an intracellular parasite. It is most effectively prevented by the TH1 response rather than the TH2 response. It is transmitted by the bite of an infected sand fly.

Which of the following is false concerning protozoans? Giardia lamblia causes water-borne acute or chronic foul-smelling diarrhea. Malarial parasites belong to the genus Plasmodium and are transmitted by the female Anopheles mosquito. Trypanosoma brucei causes Chagas disease which is transmitted by the sand fly. Pregnant females should always avoid the cat litter box to prevent congenital infection of their developing fetus and consequent birth defects due to Toxoplasma gondii. Cryptosporidium produces diarrhea that is self-limited in individuals with normal host defenses but prolonged and severe in AIDS.
