The Cestodes - Tapeworms. The Cestodes are a group of parasitic flatworms having a long flat body that usually has a specialized organ of attachment at one end (the scolex). The Cestodes can be made up of a single segment or be divided into numerous identical rectangular segments called scoleces. Nutrition is obtained by absorbing food through the outer covering of the body. The clinically important Cestodes in man include the following:. Helminth egg identification chart.

Helminth Egg Identification Chart:. Use the chart below to as an aide to the identification of the more commonly encountered Helminth eggs in man. Find the measurement in microns of the egg in question and match your egg as closely as you can to the morphological representation of the Helminth egg. Role over it with your mouse and you will get a photo image of the Helminth egg as well as some pertinent information about that Helminth egg that will aide in your identification.

Trematodes are also referred to as flukes. The name flukes refers to the flattened shape of the worms and rhomboidal shape. There are generally two groups of classification that flukes are placed in. Blood flukes - inhabiting the blood of the host in some stages of their life cycle. Tissue flukes - infecting various tissues, lungs and bile ducts of the host. The Trematodes clinically important in humans include the following:. Fasciola hepatica and Fasciolopsis buski. Helminth egg identification chart.

The Arthropods as a group have the largest and most diverse number of species on this planet. Classified as invertebrates, they have an exoskeleton mainly composed of chitin which is a derivative of glucose. They have segmented bodies and jointed limbs. The Arthropods that we will cover are listed below. The list will continually be under refinement and growth. But as indicated above, the Arthropod vectors of parasitic disease will be out main focus. Helminth egg identification chart.

Protozoa are a diverse group of single-cell eukaryotic organisms, many of which are motile. Throughout history, protozoa have been defined as single-cell protists with animal-like behavior, e.g., movement. Protozoa were regarded as the partner group of protists to protophyta, which have plant-like behaviour, e.g., photosynthesis. The Apicomplexa and Fungus-Like. Helminth egg identification chart.
