Parasites – introduction
![Page 5: Searching for microbes Part XII. Parasitology Ondřej Zahradníček To practical of VLLM0421c zahradnicek@fnusa.cz.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110116/551a66c1550346cb358b6366/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Parasite1 × Parasite2
• „Parasite1“ (an organism performing parasitism – a type of non mutual relationship between organisms): the term may include viruses, bacteria etc.
• „Parasite2“ (object of interest of medical parasitology): the term is mostly used for eucaryotic, sometimes multicelullar organisms other than fungi.
• Historically they were considered microscopical „animals“ (protozoans and worms), but today unicelullar parasites are no more considered animals and they belong to taxonomically very distinct groups
![Page 6: Searching for microbes Part XII. Parasitology Ondřej Zahradníček To practical of VLLM0421c zahradnicek@fnusa.cz.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110116/551a66c1550346cb358b6366/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Parasites classification• The most typical groups (not necessarilly
taxonomic groups) of medically important parasites are:
• Unicellullar parasites– Amoebae (taxonomically close to animals and fungi)– Flagellates and other unicellullar parasites (rather
related with plants, especially apicomplexa/sporozoa)
• Multicellullar parasites– Flat worms (Platyhelminthes)
• Flukes (liver fluke and other flukes, schistosomas etc.)• Tapeworms (swine tapeworm, beef tapeworm, fish tapeworm,
dwarf tapeworm, tissue tapeworms – ecchinococci and others)
– Roundworms (pinworm, common roundworm, Trichuris, dog and cat roundworm and other roundworms)
– Arthropods (insects and acarids)
![Page 7: Searching for microbes Part XII. Parasitology Ondřej Zahradníček To practical of VLLM0421c zahradnicek@fnusa.cz.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110116/551a66c1550346cb358b6366/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Historical term „worms“
• The term „worms“, or its latin equivalent „helmints“ was historically used for organisms with prolonged shape of body
• For practical reasons, we use this term sometimes even now, although we know already for a long time that they are not a taxonomic unit
• Majority of them are visible by a naked eye or a simple lens. Some of them are quite large (e. g. 10 m in common tapeworm). Their eggs are microscopic
![Page 8: Searching for microbes Part XII. Parasitology Ondřej Zahradníček To practical of VLLM0421c zahradnicek@fnusa.cz.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110116/551a66c1550346cb358b6366/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Another parasites classification
It is also common to classify parasites according to the most typical localisation:
• Endoparasites– Intestinal parasites (from Giardia to tapeworms)– Blood parasites (intra- and extraerytrocytal)– Urogenital parasites (e. g. Trichomonas)– Tissue parasites (e. g. Toxoplasma)– Other parasites (e. g. eye parasites)
• Ectoparasites (mostly arthropodes)This classification is important also for
diagnostics. For example, we prefer indirect diagnostics in tissue parasite diagnostics, as we are usually unable to find a suitable specimen for direct diagnostics.

Parasites – clinical description
![Page 10: Searching for microbes Part XII. Parasitology Ondřej Zahradníček To practical of VLLM0421c zahradnicek@fnusa.cz.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110116/551a66c1550346cb358b6366/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Story one• Little Nicol all the time scraped her
buttocks, and it was evident to parents and teachers that something is wrong. She was also inquiet and unconcentrated. So they placed a translucent scotch-tape on her anus and sent to the laboratory. And the result did not surprise anybody. Nicol started to use drugs and in a short time everything was in order again…

Causative agent was
Enterobius vermicularis or threadworm (UK) or pinworm (US). It is a tiny roundworm (♂: 2–5 mm, ♀: 8–13 mm) that is present in the intestine. The eggs are present in perianal area. It is present mostly in children collectives. In small children autoinfections often occur.Another related roundworm is common (or „giant“) roundworm – Ascaris lumbricoides. It is much longer (♀: 20–35 cm, ♂: 15–30 cm). It is a little similar to earthworm (Lumbricus terestris), but still slightly different (roundworms have no band – citellum). Roundworms may cause various problems, from allergic problems to mechanical obliteration of orifices of bile bladder and pancreas.

Intestinal parasites• Intestinal parasites are the most common
ones. They may belong to any of endoparasital group. Some of them result in diarrheic diseases, some of them produce rather non-specific problems (dyspepsia, pruritus, tiredness…)
• Most common ones: Flagellates: (Giardia intestinalis = Lamblia), Amoebae: (Entamoeba histolytica), Nematoda: Pinworm, common roundworm and others. Trematoda: e. g. Fasciolopsis buski. Cestoda: common (swine and beef) tapeworm and other tapeworms
![Page 18: Searching for microbes Part XII. Parasitology Ondřej Zahradníček To practical of VLLM0421c zahradnicek@fnusa.cz.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110116/551a66c1550346cb358b6366/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Non-pathogenous amoebae in the bowel
• Not allways presence of parasites, especially amoebae, is a reason for treatment. There are many species, that are considered to be rather non-pathogenic.
• The most important non-pathogenous amoebas are: Entamoea dispar (very similar to pathogenous E. histolytica!), Entamoeba coli, Entamoeba hartmanni, Endolimax nana, Iodamoeba buetschlii and others.
![Page 19: Searching for microbes Part XII. Parasitology Ondřej Zahradníček To practical of VLLM0421c zahradnicek@fnusa.cz.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110116/551a66c1550346cb358b6366/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Story two• Bianca, who took care of several cats, had
enlarged lymphonodes for some time, and long time it was a question, what is the reason. The throat swabs showed nothing, and also results or other investigations were resultless.
• Bianca planned to have a child, and so she was afraid. And it was shown, that it is really so: the causative agent responsible for her lymphonode syndrome is really sometimes dangerous for pregnant women…
![Page 20: Searching for microbes Part XII. Parasitology Ondřej Zahradníček To practical of VLLM0421c zahradnicek@fnusa.cz.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110116/551a66c1550346cb358b6366/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The causative agent was
• Toxoplasma gondii, a coccidium, that is transmitted by cats, although people say that people with dogs are in risk more than people with cats (they can wear the particles of cat faeces in their fur)
• In immunocompetent persons, majority of infections is asymptomatical, or only with mild symptomas (enlarged lymphonodes). Rarely, ocular form may occur
• In pregnant women toxoplasmosis may lead to abortion or embryonic organ defects
• Even asymptomatic cases may lead to carriership of cysts, that is also asymptomatic. Toxoplasma may only reactivate in case of immunity problems (HIV+), especially in decrease of CD4+ lymphocyte count

Tissue parasites• Some parasites may live inside the organism.
– Some unicelullar parasites, like toxoplasma, produce parasital cysts (formations containing living parasital cells)
– Some nematodes may be present in tissue, e. g. Toxocara canis or T. cati
– Some cestodes (e. g. swine tapeworm) may produce cysticercs in the tissue
• Symptomatology is variable. In toxoplasmosis, cysts are clicinally quite mute. Cysticercs of tapeworms may be dangerous e. g. by pressing to important organs
• Diagnostics is difficult, because it is usually nothig to take for direct diagnostics.
![Page 26: Searching for microbes Part XII. Parasitology Ondřej Zahradníček To practical of VLLM0421c zahradnicek@fnusa.cz.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110116/551a66c1550346cb358b6366/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
LeishmaniasisLeishmaniasis• One of worldwide important tissue parasitosis is
leishmaniosis. It occurs in the whole tropical and subtropical band. It is caused by a unicelullar organism Leishmania
• Vector is a tiny blood sucking insect (mothfly) of genera Phlebotomus or Lutzomyia
• There exist some twenty important species, that may be classified into “Old world“ leishmaniae and „New world“ leishmaniae, and also to skin, skin-mucosal and visceral
• They may cause diseases from skin mutilation to inner organ damage, often lethal
• There are no cases of leishmaniosis in Central Europe (except imported ones)

Story three
• Joddie had again gynecological problems. It was quite common in her, but this time bacteriological examination was of no help. So, C. A. T. swab was sent for examination, and so the result was found.

Causative agent was• Trichomonas vaginalis, a flagellate,
that is transmitted sexually, although exceptionally other ways of transmission are possible, too
• Discharge of typical smell and colour is typical
• In men, the disease is usually asymptomatic
• As treatment for anaerobic infections (metronidazol) is effective for trichomonosis, too, the number of trichomonad disease decreases in recent times.

Urogenital parasites• Among sexually transmitted
parasital diseases, trichomonosis is the only really important (if not discussing the pubic louse).
• Usually its diagnostic is done together with bacteriology examination, as the ethiology is rarely clear at the first moment
• In the urinary tract, most important parasites are some flukes (schistosomas), i. e. Trematodes. Diagnostic is partially microbiological, partially histological.

Story four• Mr. Hiker used to travel throughout
the world. After coming back from the last trip he started to have some problems, he caugth fever, then it finished, but during two days it started again. The GP sent him to infection department. They took his blood and made a smear to two slides, using two various methods. And really the causative agent was…
![Page 35: Searching for microbes Part XII. Parasitology Ondřej Zahradníček To practical of VLLM0421c zahradnicek@fnusa.cz.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110116/551a66c1550346cb358b6366/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Causative agent was• Plasmodium vivax, one of four species of
malaric plasmodia• Malaria is worldwide one of the most serious
diseases. It causes illness of many persons every day, including many coming from Europe.
• The worst course is in „tropical malaria“ or „malignant tertiana“, caused by P. falciparum. Fever mostly does not decrease.
• Milder are both „benign tertianas“, caused by P. vivax and P. ovale. Fever comes in 48 h interval here (day 1, 3, 5, 7… „malaria tertiana“). P. vivax is more common, P. ovale occurs in western Africa.
• The malaria quartana, caused by P. malariae, is rare. Fever comes in 72 interval here (day 1, 4, 7…)

Bloostream parasites
• Among bloodstream parasites, of course, malarial plasmodia are the most important, but not the only ones.
• A flagellate, Trypanosoma brucei lives in bloodsteam, causing sleeping disease. Trypanosoma cruzi lives there too, producing Chagas disease
• Nematodes – filariae may live in bloodstream, too (in tropical countries). Nevertheless, filariae may also occur in lymphatic vessels, eye, skin etc.
• Symptomatology: in all of them fever appeares, other symptomas are related to the agent

Parasites – sampling
![Page 41: Searching for microbes Part XII. Parasitology Ondřej Zahradníček To practical of VLLM0421c zahradnicek@fnusa.cz.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110116/551a66c1550346cb358b6366/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Sampling• For intestinal parasites rectal swab is not
sufficient, a bit of stool is needed (see more )
• For Trichomonas either a slide for Giemsa staining is sent (alone or in pair with another one for Gram staining), or a C. A. T. swab
• For Acantamoeba used contact lenses are sent in their own fluid, eventually corneal scraping might be performed
• For tissue parasites serum is sent usually• In other parasites we sample according to
the situation (urine, content of a cyst)
![Page 42: Searching for microbes Part XII. Parasitology Ondřej Zahradníček To practical of VLLM0421c zahradnicek@fnusa.cz.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110116/551a66c1550346cb358b6366/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Sampling for intestinal parasites• To send stool for parasitological
sampling (usually using Kato and Faust methods), we need sample of stool sized like a hazelnut. A vessel for sampling need not be sterile. Unlike virologic examination the sample does not need low transport temperature
Coconut-sized specimens (as sometimes students use to say) are not recommended
![Page 43: Searching for microbes Part XII. Parasitology Ondřej Zahradníček To practical of VLLM0421c zahradnicek@fnusa.cz.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110116/551a66c1550346cb358b6366/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Sampling for blood parasites
• For blood parasites, it is recommended to send a thick smear and a thin smear. Thick smear is just a drop mixed by a corner of another slide, thin smear is spread to the slide by special movement. Thick smear is not fixated.

Parasites – diagnostic methods
![Page 47: Searching for microbes Part XII. Parasitology Ondřej Zahradníček To practical of VLLM0421c zahradnicek@fnusa.cz.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110116/551a66c1550346cb358b6366/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Parasites: diagnostic methods in general• Microscopy is important, either wet
mount, or staining (trichrom, Giemsa stain, Ziehl Neelsen for intestinal coccidia)
• Culture is rarely used, in practice only in Trichomonas and Acantamoeba.
• Among other direct methods PCR is used recently
• Indirect detection is used in tissue parasitoses, mostly toxoplasmosis, larval toxocarosis etc.
![Page 48: Searching for microbes Part XII. Parasitology Ondřej Zahradníček To practical of VLLM0421c zahradnicek@fnusa.cz.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110116/551a66c1550346cb358b6366/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Intestinal parasites diagnostics• As a basis, we use methods based on
modified wet mount:– In Kato method counterstain with malachite
green is used, to make parasites better visible– Faust method is a concentration one (see
later)• Graham method is used in pinworms
only (see later)• Wet mount „sensu stricto“ and stained
preparations (e. g. trichrom) are used in increased suspicion for intestinal protozoa (either primarilly, or after seeing Faust and Kato)
![Page 49: Searching for microbes Part XII. Parasitology Ondřej Zahradníček To practical of VLLM0421c zahradnicek@fnusa.cz.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110116/551a66c1550346cb358b6366/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Faust method
In the second halft, Kato is
already prepared
• Principle: stool is repeatedly mixed with ZnSO4 solution, centrifuged and supernatant taken for the next step. Finally, the solution is filled up to the top of the test-tube and covered by a coverslip. The parasites adhere to the coverslip from below. Then coverslip is removed onto the slide with allready prepared Kato method.
![Page 50: Searching for microbes Part XII. Parasitology Ondřej Zahradníček To practical of VLLM0421c zahradnicek@fnusa.cz.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110116/551a66c1550346cb358b6366/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Methods for diagnostics of intestinal protozoa• Helmint eggs are found directly in Faust and
Kato methods. When something resembling cysts (of trophozoites) of protozoa is found, more methods are used. We use here– Wet mount, just stool mixed with a drop of saline,
eventually a drop of Lugol solution is added after first observation to see better some structures
– Trichrom staining. Fixation using alcohol-sublimate and further 70% alkohol, proper trichrom, 96% alcohol and carbolxylene. Or haematoxylin stain.
– for intestinal coccidia eventually Ziehl Neelsen, or , in Czechia, Miláček staining (Mr. Miláček was a laboratory, assistant in parasitology in České Budějovice)
![Page 51: Searching for microbes Part XII. Parasitology Ondřej Zahradníček To practical of VLLM0421c zahradnicek@fnusa.cz.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110116/551a66c1550346cb358b6366/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Graham method in pinworm/threadworm diagnostics• The patient bends forward, stretches his/her
buttocks, and now a special transparent scotch-tape is placed on his/her anus and mostly perianal rugae. Then the tape is removed again and placed to a slide.
• Transparency of the tape is crucial, otherwise it is not possible to microscopy. (Nevertheless, some „experts“ send a non-translucent tape, or cover all the tape by a label with patient name)
• It is easier and more effective than stool examination. It is still used rather in children – adults use to have to hairy anus, so the method would be too painful and difficult.

Practical microscopy in Faust, Kato and Graham methods
In all three methods we use no immersion, objectives 10×, 20×, 40×.
Faust and Kato methods are usually observed together, on the same slide (the coverslip from Faust method is moved to the free half of the slide with already prepared Kato preparation)
Graham method result is microscopied just in the form how it comes to the laboratory, no preparation is needed.

Evaluation of protozoan diagnostics• Gomori trichrom or Heidenheim
haematoxylin is used. Size of the protozoon, number of nuclei, in Entamoeba genus also central and peripherial chromatine
• Unlike Entamoeba coli, E. histolytica has maximally four nuclei. Usually you cannot see all nuclei together, they appear and disappear during focusing.
• Entamoeba histolytica/dispar cannot be differentiated microscopically, in reference laboratory PCR discrimination is performed
![Page 55: Searching for microbes Part XII. Parasitology Ondřej Zahradníček To practical of VLLM0421c zahradnicek@fnusa.cz.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110116/551a66c1550346cb358b6366/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Diagnostics of blood parasites: thin smear and thick drop
• In diagnostics of blood parasites it is important to perform a smear using special methods of thin smear and thick drop.
• For both methods, fresh blood is used, of non-clotted blood, if the smear is not performed immediately. The thin smear is fixated, the thick drop is not. Both of them are Giemsa stained.
• Look at following pictures.

Trichomonas diagnostics• Trichomonads are recently diagnosed mostly
using culture-microscopical:– A C. A. T. swab is performed– The medium is cultured overnight– A drop of medium is microscopied as a wet
mount.
• The preparations cannot be preserved• Therefore in our practical we have the second
possible way of diagnostics – Giemsa stained smear on a slide. When it is a part of „Microscopical appearance of vaginal microflora“ (MAVM), it is described as MAVM V.
• Other ways (e. g. fluorescence staining, see picture) are used rarelly

Microscopical preparations of Trichomonas in MAVM (Giemsa)
• We use immersion microscopy (objective 100×, immersion oil)
• In some preparations we can see yeasts, too
• The pictures on Internet are usually ideal cases, often specially stained of computer adapted.

Diagnostics of other parasital diseases
• In ectoparasites majority of diagnostics is non-microbiological (everything can be observed by a laik, eventually a dermatologist in case of Sacroptes scabiei)
• In tissue parasites serum for indirect diagnostics is sent usually (CFT, ELISA)
• In some cases, mostly tropical parasitioses, it is better to consult sampling technique with a laboratory
In some filarioses the sampling is recomended to perform during night only, or during day only.

Diagnostics of Toxoplasma gondii using serological tests• In toxoplaxmosis, we often combine two
tests.• Complement fixing test (CFT). It is
performed like other complement fixing tests, see J08 practical
• ELISA, too, is like other ELISA reactions. One specific feature is that instead of IgM + IgG we mostly search for IgA + IgG antibodies. IgA antibodies are typical for recent infections, IgG for „status after“ an infection. Paradoxically, pregnant women with IgG + are in a better situation than IgG – (they are protected).
