- Which of the following is NOT a true statement? Human Schistosoma infestations are transmitted by direct person-to-person contact without an intermediate host If Schistosoma eggs are circulated in the blood, they can lodge in distant organs Schistosoma adults lay their eggs into the intestine, where they are shed in feces Granulomas form around Schistosoma eggs and can damage internal organs (liver, lungs, etc.) Schistosoma flukes (trematodes) inhabit the intestinal blood vessels for part of their life cyclearrow_forwardIn terms of geographical distribution, are parasitic flagellates (e.g., Trypanosoma spp., Leishmania tropica, Giardia lamblia, Trichomonas) cosmopolitan or localized?

- According to the recent malaria report of the Department of Health, Disease and Prevention Bureau (2022), there are 4, 251 confirmed cases of malaria in the Philippines and majority of the cases are due to Plasmodium falciparum. P. falciparum life cycle includes gametocytes that will aid the parasite to reproduce sexually in its anopheline vectors. Examine Figure 2 below.

- Assuming you have been posted to a community where malaria is very endemic. There is a high rate of absenteeism among your students due to incidents of malaria. As part of your community engagement explain how you would educate on malaria prevention taking the following into consideration:a) Name of the vector and the species of the parasite that cause the diseases in Africa; b) Two chemical and two biological ways of reducing the population of mosquitoes; c) Two in-house measures to prevent mosquitoes bite;d) The stages in the life cycle of the mosquito;e) The names of three African countries that participated in the trial of malarial vaccine.arrow_forwardSeasonality of a disease can relate to weather patterns rather than seasons. Malaria is a prime example and has a seasonality related to water and the wet season vs. the dry season. Explain why considering the vector.arrow_forwardA patient consulted a doctor because of complaints of general weakness, pain in bowels, indigestion. The intestinal infection caused by Protozoa was suspected as a result of laboratory analysis. The intestinal pathogens usually transmitted through the contaminated food, water, hand. They can also be transmitted with the mechanical vectors. There are mechanical and biological vectors of disease pathogens among insects. Mechanical vectors of protozoan diseases are: Select one: a. Glossina palpalis. O b. Wohlfahrtia magnifica. c. Musca domestica. d. Phlebotomus papatasii. e. Pulex irritans.arrow_forward
