Class on Ascariasis (Ascaris lumbricoides): life cycle, diagnosis and transmission | Roundworm | Basic and Clinical Human #Parasitology Course | Prof. Dr. Victor Proença | IBAP Courses Class Content • Ascariasis (Ascaris lumbricoides) or roundworm • General characteristics of Ascariasis • Morphology of Ascaris lumbricoides • Habitat and behavior of Ascaris lumbricoides or roundworm • 90% in the jejunal loops • Reproduction and biological cycle of Ascaris lumbricoides • Life Cycle of Ascaris lumbricoides • Pathology and Symptomatology of Ascariasis • Larval Invasion Phase of Ascaris lumbricoides • Ectopic sites of Ascaris lumbricoides • Diagnosis of Ascariasis • Parasitological examination of feces = presence of eggs • Immunological methods = generally unsatisfactory • Infertile eggs: Elongated shape, 80 to 90 µm in length, thinner shell with a very thick albuminous layer Reduced, irregular, or absent. The interior of the infertile egg is full of refractive granules, with a coarse appearance. • Fertile eggs: Oval or nearly spherical in shape, with a thick shell and an egg cell inside, formed by three layers, averaging 60 µm in length. The outermost layer is called the mammillary membrane. • Fertile decorticated eggs: Oval or nearly spherical in shape, with an inner and middle layer, with an egg cell inside, but which has lost its mammillary membrane. • Transmission of Ascariasis • Control of Geohelminthiasis • Use of sanitary facilities • Wash hands before eating or handling food • Wash hands after defecation • Thoroughly wash fruits and vegetables before consumption • Protect food from dust, insects, and other animals • Do not use human fecal matter as fertilizer Prof. Dr. Victor Proença @ibapcursos ________________________________________ Playlist with classes from the Basic and Clinical Human Parasitology Course at IBAP Cursos:    • Introdução à Parasitologia | Curso de #Par...   • Introduction to Parasitology:    • Introdução à Parasitologia | Curso de #Par...   • Amoebiasis (Entamoeba histolytica) and Parasitic Amoebae:    • Amebíase (Entamoeba histolytica) e Amebas ...   • Giardiasis (Giardia lamblia G. duodenalis):    • Giardíase (Giardia lamblia  G. duodenalis)...   • Trichomoniasis (Trichomonas vaginalis):    • Tricomoníase (trichomonas vaginalis) | Cur...   • Isosporiasis (Isospora belli):    • Isosporíase (Isospora belli) | Curso de #P...   • Sarcosporidiosis (Sarcocystis):    • Sarcosporidiose (Sarcocystis) | Curso de #...   • Pneumocystis (Pneumocystis):    • Pneumocistose (Pneumocystis) | Curso de #P...   • Cryptosporidiosis (Cryptosporidium parvum)    • Criptosporidíase (Cryptosporidium parvum) ...   • Balantidiosis (Balantidium coli):    • Balantidiose (Balantidium coli) | Curso de...   • Chagas disease (Trypanosoma cruzi) | American trypanosomiasis | Kissing bug (Triatoma):    • Doença de Chagas (Trypanosoma cruzi) | Tri...   • Sleeping sickness (African trypanosomiasis) | Trypanosoma brucei | Tse Tse Fly (Glossina):    • Doença do Sono (Tripanossomíase Africana) ...   • Elephantiasis (Lymphatic Filariasis) | Wuchereria bancrofti | Filaria:    • Elefantíase (Filariose Linfática) | Wucher...   • Toxoplasmosis (Toxoplasma gondii):    • Toxoplasmose (Toxoplasma gondii) | Curso d...  . • Stool Parasitological Examination (SPE): How to collect and what is it for? | 3 Samples | #Parasitology:    • Exame Parasitológico de Fezes (EPF): como ...   • Graham Method or Gummed Tape (Adhesive): How is it Performed? | Enterobius | Pinworm | #Parasitology:    • Método de Graham ou Fita Gomada (Adesiva):...   • Hoffman, Pons and Janer Method or Lutz Method (Spontaneous Sedimentation) | Stool Parasitological Exam:    • Método de Hoffman, Pons e Janer ou Lutz (S...   • Ascariasis (Ascaris lumbricoides): life cycle, diagnosis, and transmission | #Parasitology:    • Ascaridíase (Ascaris lumbricoides) ou lomb...   • Functional Stool Exam: Understand What It's For | Stool Exam | Stool Exam:    • Exame Coprológico Funcional: Entenda Para ...   • Blood in the Stool: What Could It Be?
