The antigen-antibody combination :
Localize the irritating excretions and secretions of the parasite
Immobilize the parasite
Inhibit its physiologic activities
Retard its development
Some time destroy the parasite
The immobilized worms are surrounded by inflammatory
reaction
Eosinophils are appeared late in the immune reaction

Mature eggs
Ingested
Laboratory diagnosis
Identify the eggs found in feces
using following methods :
Direct smear method
Concentration method
Identify larva found in sputum
Identify adult worm found expelled
from anus, mouth, nostril
Do quantitative lab method to
measure level of infection
Additional : chest X-ray
Ascaris lumbricoides
Mass treatment
Treatment
Based on prevalence of
Drug available
Ascariasis in one area :
Pyrantel pamoate
prevalence > 30 %, treatment 3x/year
Mebendazol
prevalence (20-30) %, treatment 2x
/year Oxantel pamoate
prevalence
Piperazine
(10-20) %, treatment 1x
/year
Albendazole
prevalence < 10 %, individual
treatment in positive cases only
Ascaris lumbricoides
ASCARIASIS PREVENTION
Habitat
Caecum, appendix, colon (proximal

Infective eggs embedded under
fingernail (hand to mouth infection)
Ingested with contaminated
food/drinks (carried by insect vector:
cockroach, flies)

Infection by Trichuris trichiura
PATHOLOGY AND CLINICAL SYMPTOMS
Drugs available:
Elimination of source of infection
Oxantel pamoate
Improved personal hygiene (hand
Mebendazol
washing,(drug
toiletoftraining)
choice)
Through washing of sold
vegetables
Health education
Provision of sanitary public toilet
Infection by Hookworm
PREFERENTIAL HABITAT
Small intestine (jejunum)
In heavy infection : duodenum, colon
Disease: Ancylostomiasis
Synonym: Uncinariasis, necatoriasis
infection by A. duodenale are more
serious than N. americanus
Chronic infection rarely produce
acute manifestation
Tissue damage and symptoms are
caused by :
Larva stage
Adult worm
Infection by HOOKWORM
PATHOLOGY CAUSED BY LARVA STAGE

Infection by HOOKWORM
Diagnosis
Identify eggs from feces sample
Identify larva from :
Fecal culture
Old feces sample
HOOKWORM
ANTIHELMINTHICS
Tetrachlorethylen
Mebendazole
Albendazole
Pyrantel pamoate
Bitoskanate
Bephenium hidroxynaphtoate
PREVENTION
Same as with Ascariasis but with
the addition of :
wearing shoes during work in
plantation or mine area
Infection by
Strongyloides stercoralis
HOST, HABITAT AND DISTRIBUTION
Man is the definitive Host
Habitat of female worm,
mucosal lining of :
Duodenum
Drugs given
Thiabendazole
Mebendazole
Pyrvinium pamoate
PREVENTION
Similar to the prevention of hookworm
Autoinfection is prevented by means of :
– Avoid constipation
– Anal hygiene
NON-SOIL TRANSMITTED HELMINTHS
Trichinella spiralis
Enterobius vermicularis
A. MORPHOLOGY
Enterobius vermicularis = Oxyuris
vermicularis = pinworm.
In its life, this worm (ovipar) develops from:
egg larva worm.
Its egg is oval, assymetry, that contains
embrio.
This worm has lateral ala cephalic in
anterior tip.
One female worm can produce 11.000
eggs in one day.
The female worm will die after producing
eggs.
The male worm will die after copulation.
B. LIFE CYCLE of Enterobius vermicularis
Female & male worms do copulation in cecum & around (appendix,
ascending colon & ileum)
Pregnant female worms migrate at night & produce eggs in anus &
around (anal area)
After several hours, eggs become mature & infectious, then come to
host, via:
F. TREATMENT
Mebendazole, thiabendazole, etc.
G. PREVENTION
> Washing hand before eating
> Cutting long fingernail, etc.
Trichinella spiralis
A. MORPHOLOGY
Trichinella spiralis = porkworm.
In its life, this worn (vivipar) develops from
larva worm.
Its larva can become cyst (circular larva
which is covered by hyaline capsule).
This worm has stylet mouth to invade
intestine or muscle tissue.
One female worm can produce about
1.350-2.000 larvas.
The male worm will die after copulation.
B. LIFE CYCLE of Trichinella spiralis
Female & male worms do copulation in mouse/pig/person duodenum to cecum
Pregnant female worms enter to intestinal villi and then lymphatic sinus
Larva is brought by lymphatic flow, to thorachic duct, right heart, lung, left heart, and
then to around body
Host (person/pig/etc) can die
Larva enter to mouse/pig/person muscle tissue & make cysts (larva can live until 30
years in muscle)
Cyst wall rupture & larva release & larva become mature (be worm) in health person
duodenum
The worm can also pass placenta & mammary
Trichinella spiralis
C. SPREADING
> Cosmopolite (spread around the world).
F. TREATMENT
> Thiabendazole.
G. PREVENTION
Cooking meat (esp. pig muscle) perfectly
Destroying mouse, etc.
