Across
  1. 3. cigar-shaped mite diagnosed by a deep skin scrape, non contagious; young = inherited (dont breed, dont tx), adult = immune suppressed - tx w/ivermectin/amitraz/milbemycin; gatoi/canis; CS at face/muzzle/periorbita/TL
  2. 8. immiticide/adulticide used in the treatment of HW in dogs; ivermectin used to kill microfiliaria
  3. 9. lungworm in dogs in cats; IH: crayfish and snail; dx on sedimentation/tracheal wash; tx - fenbendazole/praziquantel
  4. 13. animal thats roundworm (baylisascaris procyonis)is zoonotic causing LM to brain causing CNS disease
  5. 14. lungworm that has assymetric terminal plugs; may look like whipworm eggs
  6. 18. roundworm in dogs transmitted transplacentally, that causes a cough in young puppies, humans - VLM/OLM
  7. 19. tapeworm in dogs; fleas are intermediate host, CS - rice like organism in feces; tx - praziquantel
  8. 20. dirofilaria immitis
  9. 21. symbiotic bacterium to heartworm; tx - doxycycline
  10. 23. coccidia in SA, tx: sulfadimethoxine/Albon
  11. 24. heartworm (+) have lower worm burden, more likely to migrate to ectopic locations, often microfiliaria (-)
  12. 27. aka trypanasoma, transmitted by sand flies
  13. 29. coccidia that are round/slightly smaller than RBC, acid-fast or IFA stains; resistant to disinfectants; humans get from water contamination; tx - clindamycin, azithromycin, tylosin
Down
  1. 1. flagellated parasite that can look like giardia, but with one nucleus and undulating membrane; usually seen in kittens with unresponsive diarrhea; tx- ronidazole
  2. 2. the other ingredient in HW prevention; milbemycin oxime + ____
  3. 4. DH: cats; zoonotic - infants infected in utero, pregnant women should avoid litter box. takes 1-5d after shedding to sporulate and be infective. causes abortion/stillbirth/diarrhea/cough/neuro in sheep/kittens/pigs/dogs (not cow); tx - clindamycin
  4. 5. ctenocephalides felis, causes pruritus and irritation; can lead to FAD - anemia, skin lesion, tapeworm infection
  5. 6. type of species specific coccidia from eating rabbit feces, can be parasitic in birds/reptiles/herbivores; no tx necessary in cat/dog
  6. 7. roundworm in cats transmitted transmammary, humans = VLM/OLM
  7. 10. must differentiate between this and d. immitis, they look very similar
  8. 11. whipworm; tx - fenbendazole or milbemycin oxime
  9. 12. “stomach worm” 3cm long nematode with spine covered heads - often vomit these up; zoonotic-undercooked fish = gastritis/peritonitis/CLM/NLM; found near freshwater; adults live in stomach causing gastritis; tx - albendazole
  10. 15. (abbrev.)at risk for this if strict activity rest during HW tx
  11. 16. pear-shaped binucleate protozoan organism, outlined by adhesive discs, “swims in falling leaf motion”; zoonotic; tx - fenbendazole/metro; dx- smear, IFA, ELISA
  12. 17. tapeworm that is nonpathogenic expect in humans = fatal, hydatid cyst disease; tx = praziquantel
  13. 22. tx of HW in cat; avoid immiticide/adulticide due to risk of embolization and death
  14. 25. botfly seen in cats
  15. 26. zoonotic mite that causes severe pruritus around pinnae, ventral thorax/abd and legs (alopecia, crusting, erythema); tx - ivermectin/amitraz/milbemycin/selamectin
  16. 28. ancylostoma caninum, causes anemia in dogs and CLM in humans. tx- anything but praziquantel
