NEMATODE
 Multicellular parasites that appear round in cross
section
 Adult nematodes have a tapered, cylindric body with
an esophagus and longitudinal muscles.
 Nematodes cause disease associated with the
intestines and the skin.

Morphology and Life Cycle
 Members of the class Nematoda assume three
basic morphologic forms:
• Vary in size
and shape
• Located inside
the fertilized
eggs; emerge
and continue
to mature
• Develop from the
maturing larvae
• Sexes separate (females
larger than males)
• Equipped with a digestive
and reproductive system
Morphology and Life Cycle
 Life cycles of individual nematodes are similar
but organism specific
 Intestinal nematode infection may be initiated in
several ways.
 Fertilized adult female nematodes lay their eggs
in the intestine and are then shed in the stool;
they mature in the soil and infect a new host in 2-
4 weeks.
 Most members have the ability to exist
independent of a host (free living).

 COMMON NAMES:
 Common associated disease and condition
names:
Large Intestinal Roundworm
Roundworm of man
Ascariasis
Roundworm Infection
Ascaris lumbricoides
 A soil – transmitted helminth.
 Usual infection of 10-20 worms may not cause
symptoms.
Causes varying degrees of pathology:
Tissue reaction to the invading larvae
Intestinal irritation to the adult
Other complications due to extraintestinal
migration.

LABORATORY DIAGNOSIS
LIFE CYCLE
1. Adult worms live in the lumen of the small intestine.
* A female may produce up to 240,000 eggs per day, which are
passed with the feces.
LIFE CYCLE
2.-3. Fertile eggs embryonate and become infective after
18 days to several weeks depending on the
environmental conditions (optimum: moist, warm,
LIFE CYCLE
Infective Stage: FULLY EMBRYONATED (with 2nd
stage
Larvae or Rhabditiform Larvae) EGG
LIFE CYCLE
3
.
4-5. After infective eggs are swallowed , the larvae hatch
in
the lumen of the SI and penetrate the intestine wall.
LIFE CYCLE
Larvae enters the venule to go to the liver (through the portal vein) o
to
the heart and pulmonary vessels (7-10 days), where they break out
the capillaries and enter the air sacs, ascend the bronchial tree.
LIFE CYCLE
6.
In the lungs, larvae undergo molting before migrating to
the larynx and oropharynx to be swallowed in the
digestive tract.
LIFE CYCLE
6.
LIFE CYCLE
 During the lung migration, the larvae may
cause host sensitization resulting in allergic
manifestations such as
 Eosinophilia and Loeffler’s syndrome may also
be present during lung migration.
Lung infiltration
Asthmatic attacks
Edema of the lips
Upon reaching the small intestine, they develop into adult
worms.
*Between 2 and 3 months are required from ingestion of the infective
eggs to oviposition by the adult female. Adult worms can live 1 to 2 years.

LABORATORY DIAGNOSIS
 Specimen of choice for
T. trichiura eggs: Stool
 Adult worms may be
visible on
macroscopic
examination of the
intestinal mucosa.
 Adults may also be
seen in the rectum in
heavy infections.
LABORATORY DIAGNOSIS
– highly recommended in diagnosis
of trichuriases
– used for egg counting to
determine cure rate (CR), egg
reduction rate (ERR), and intensity
of infection.
The T. trichiura eggs are particularly
prominent in infected samples
processed using ZSFMethod.

LIFE CYCLE
The unembryonated eggs
are passed with the
stool.
In the soil, the eggs develop
into a 2-cell stage , an
advanced cleavage stage
and then they
embryonate
The unembryonated eggs
are passed with the
stool.
Eggs become infective in 15 to 30 days. After
ingestion (soil-contaminated hands or food), the
eggs hatch in the small intestine, and release
larvae

The adult worms live in
the cecum and
ascending colon.
LIFE CYCLE
 Each female worm can produce a total of over
60 million eggs over an average lifespan of 2
years.
 Unlike A. lumbricoides, there is no heart to
lung migration.
PATHOGENESIS AND CLINICAL
MANIFESTATIONS
 The anterior portion of the worms (embedded
in the mucosa) cause petechial haemorrhage
 which predispose amebic dysentery presumably
because the ulcers provide suitable site for tissue
invasion of E. histolytica
 Mucosa is hyperemic and edematous
 Enterorrhagia is common
PATHOGENESIS AND CLINICAL
MANIFESTATIONS
 RECTAL PROLAPSE may occur if heavily
infected
 Lumen of the appendix may be filled with worms
and consequent irritation and inflammation may
lead to appendicitis or granulomas
 Infection with 5,000 eggs/gram of feces is
symptomatic.
 Infection with 20,000 eggs/gram of feces often
develop severe diarrhea or dysenteric volume.
EPIDEMIOLOGY
 Considered as the 3rd
most common
helminth.
 Found primarily in
warm climates of the
world where poor
sanitation practices
are common, such as
defecating directly into
the soil or using
human feces as
fertilizer.
EPIDEMIOLOGY
Estimated that 902 million are
infested (as compare to 355
million in 1947).
The global prevalence in 2010:
Estimated at 464.6 million people.
In tropical countries, it ranges
from 60 to 85%.
DISEASE PREVALENCE
Philippines:Prevalence is from 80 to 84%.
Sub-Saharan Africa: Estimated at
20.9% (100million cases).
Oceania: Estimated 1.2million infested
persons, accounting for <1% of the
global burden of Trichuriasis.
South America: Estimated prevalence rates
of 12.5%
TREATMENT
Mebendazole –
drug of choice
Abendazole
PREVENTION AND CONTROL
 Infection in highly endemic areas may be
prevented by:
Treatment
of infected
individuals
Sanitary
disposal of
human
feces by
construction
of toilets
and their
proper use.
Washing
of hands
with soap
and water
before
and after
meals
Health
education
on
sanitation
and
personal
hygiene
Through
washing and
scalding of
uncooked
vegetables
especially in
areas where
night soil is
used as
fertilizer.

DEFINITION OF TERMS Copulation Mating of select worms Cuticle Surface covering present on adult nematodes Embryonated Fertilized egg Decorticated Eggs lacking an outer mammillated albuminous coating Larva Juvenile worms Unembryonated Unfertilized egg INFECTIVE STAGE Stage in the parasitic life cycle that is capable of invading a definitive host. AUTOREINFECTION Reinfecting oneself Buccal capsule Long oral cavity; also known as a buccal cavity Buccal cavity Long oral cavity; also known as a buccal capsule Chitin Shell made up of a thick nitrogen- containing polysaccharide coating Corticated Eggs containing a mammillated
  • 5. Morphology and Life Cycle  Members of the class Nematoda assume three basic morphologic forms: • Vary in size and shape • Located inside the fertilized eggs; emerge and continue to mature • Develop from the maturing larvae • Sexes separate (females larger than males) • Equipped with a digestive and reproductive system
  • 6. Morphology and Life Cycle  Life cycles of individual nematodes are similar but organism specific  Intestinal nematode infection may be initiated in several ways.  Fertilized adult female nematodes lay their eggs in the intestine and are then shed in the stool; they mature in the soil and infect a new host in 2- 4 weeks.  Most members have the ability to exist independent of a host (free living).

  • 54. PATHOGENESIS AND CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS  The anterior portion of the worms (embedded in the mucosa) cause petechial haemorrhage  which predispose amebic dysentery presumably because the ulcers provide suitable site for tissue invasion of E. histolytica  Mucosa is hyperemic and edematous  Enterorrhagia is common
  • 55. PATHOGENESIS AND CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS  RECTAL PROLAPSE may occur if heavily infected  Lumen of the appendix may be filled with worms and consequent irritation and inflammation may lead to appendicitis or granulomas  Infection with 5,000 eggs/gram of feces is symptomatic.  Infection with 20,000 eggs/gram of feces often develop severe diarrhea or dysenteric volume.
  • 56.
  • 57. EPIDEMIOLOGY  Considered as the 3rd most common helminth.  Found primarily in warm climates of the world where poor sanitation practices are common, such as defecating directly into the soil or using human feces as fertilizer.
  • 58. EPIDEMIOLOGY Estimated that 902 million are infested (as compare to 355 million in 1947). The global prevalence in 2010: Estimated at 464.6 million people. In tropical countries, it ranges from 60 to 85%.
  • 59. DISEASE PREVALENCE Philippines:Prevalence is from 80 to 84%. Sub-Saharan Africa: Estimated at 20.9% (100million cases). Oceania: Estimated 1.2million infested persons, accounting for <1% of the global burden of Trichuriasis. South America: Estimated prevalence rates of 12.5%
  • 61. PREVENTION AND CONTROL  Infection in highly endemic areas may be prevented by: Treatment of infected individuals Sanitary disposal of human feces by construction of toilets and their proper use. Washing of hands with soap and water before and after meals Health education on sanitation and personal hygiene Through washing and scalding of uncooked vegetables especially in areas where night soil is used as fertilizer.

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Ascariasis – STH; disease of poverty When a group of organisms has diversified into many different forms, this is referred to as an "adaptive radiation.“ In the process, as they have encountered new habitats or situations, the organisms have adapted to them. They contribute to impairment of cognitive performances and growth of children. Reduce work capacity and productivity of adults.
  2. Infection with Ascaris lumbricoides often causes no symptoms.  Infections with a large number of worms may cause abdominal pain or intestinal obstruction.  Adults feed on the contents of the small intestine and in heavy infections this may compound problems in malnourished individuals (especially children).  Migration of larvae may cause localized reactions in various organs.  Penetration of the larvae from capillaries into the lungs can lead to Loeffler's pneumonia, in which pools of blood and dead epithelial cells clog air spaces in the lungs.  Resulting bacterial infections can be fatal.    
  3. The larvae develops inside the egg about 3 weeks before becoming infective.
  4. Female is always larger than the male
  5. The worms may have terminal mouth with three lips and sensory papillae.
  6. Adult worms may be present in the stool, vomites up or removed from external nares, where they may attempt to escape.
  7. Since they have a high risk of ingesting embryonated A. lumbricoides.
  8.  Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated that worldwide ascariasis rates in 2005  (last updated 2014) Philippines – from WHO (2012)
  9. Mass chemotherapy – once, twice, thrice a year with children as the target population.
  10. Globally, trichuris trichuria also known as the human whipworm, is a very common intestinal helminthic infection. The history of T. Trichuria dates back to the times of prehistoric man; The whipworm derive its name from its characteristic whiplike shape. Poor hygiene is associated with trichuris transmission as well as the consumption of shaded moist soil, or food that may have been fecally contaminated. Children are especially vulnerable to infection
  11. 1740- first written record of T. Trichuria appeared when an Italian scientist Morgani discovered the residence of adult T. Trichuria worms in colon (1761) Roedere, a German physician-gave a report of the exact morphologic description and provided accurate drawings of the parasite
  12. One female Trichuris can lay 3,000-10,000 barrel-shaped ova daily. These are passed in the stool and measured 50-55 x 25 um. In passing through the human intestine, bile impregnates the outer portion of the thick shell and cause the ova to gain a brownish color.
  13. Capillaria spp ova are often misindentified with Trichuris. Capillaria spp. Are similar to other members of Trichuroida superfamily such as Trichuris but with slight differences in morphology of the anterior and posterior ends. Capillaria eggs have non-protruding polar plugs and are lightly smaller than Trichuris trichuris.
  14. After ingestion, intestinal juices in the duodenum weaken the shell of the egg. The larva is then freed and attaches itself to the villi of the proximal small bowel for about a week.
  15. Females are larger than males. Approx. 35-50 um long compared to males which 30-45 um. T. Trichuria has a narrow anterior esophageal end and a thicker posterior anus. They attach to the host through their slender anterior end and feed on tissue secretions instead of blood.
  16. These pinkish gray worms are threaded through the mucosa. The females have a bluntly round posterior end compared to their male counterparts with coiled posterior end.
  17. Anterior end-contains the pharynx, nerve ring, and excretory system of the parasite while the postertor end contains the digestive system and the reproductive system.
  18. Standard method for diagnosing the presence of whipworm is by microscopically identifying the whipworm eggs in a stool sample.
  19. It is important to be aware that samples examined from patients treated for whipworm infection may reveal distorted eggs, showing variety of unusual shapes. Kato katz-highly recommeded because of ease of its use and relatively low cost.
  20. Life cycle notes Ingestion of infective eggs initiates human infection. Larvae emerge from eggs in small intestine. Larvae return to the intestinal lumen and proceed to the cecum where maturation is complete. Adults take up residence in colon where they can live 4-8 years if untreated. Following copulation, adult female lays her eggs, which pass through stool. Eggs embryonate, usually in the soil, become infective, and another life cycle is initiated.
