1 1 Phylum Platyhelminthes

2 2 Flatworms Triploblastic Acoelomate Bilateral symmetry Hermaphroditic (Most) –Monoecious One opening for digestive system - incomplete gut Paired lateral nerve cords & cerebral ganglion Flame cells - modified excretory cells

8 8 Class Turbellaria Eye spots - Ocelli Ciliated surface Dual Adhesion Glands - to attach and release Regenerate if cut Most are free-living Detect food by chemoreceptors Detect Water Current - statocysts Sexual Reproduction: –Internal Fertilization –Cocoon attached to plants

12 12 Class Trematoda Flukes Parasites - endoparasitic Holdfast devices –Hooks and Suckers Complex life cycle Intermediate host –Animal with juvenile stage Definitive host –Animal with adult stage

13 13

14 14 Chinese liver fluke 50 million people Cirrhosis of liver Diarrhea Pain

15 15

16 16 General Trematoda (FLUKE) Life Cycle General Trematoda (FLUKE) Life Cycle Egg passes from definitive host and must reach water Egg passes from definitive host and must reach water Hatches into a free-swimming ciliated larva, the miracidium Hatches into a free-swimming ciliated larva, the miracidium Miracidium penetrates tissues of a snail Miracidium penetrates tissues of a snail Transforms into a sporocyst Transforms into a sporocyst Sporocyst reproduces asexually to form redia Sporocyst reproduces asexually to form redia Rediae reproduce asexually and form cercaria Rediae reproduce asexually and form cercaria Cercaria attach to fish and form cysts in muscle tissue Cercaria attach to fish and form cysts in muscle tissue

17 17 Sheep liver fluke Sheep, cattle and man –Weight loss Eat vegetation with metacercaria

18 18 Intestinal fluke 10 million people Man and pigs Hemorrhage and abscesses of small intestine

19 19

20 20 Lung fluke Carnivores, pigs, rodents and man May be fatal

21 21

22 22 Lung Fluke Distribution

23 23 Schistosoma Blood flukes/Liver 200 million people infected 1 million deaths/year Sexes are separate Pierce through Skin

25 25 14-25 Cut Liver of individual who dies from hematemesis (vomiting blood). 180 adult blood flukes were found in autopsy

26 26 Schistosome Swimmers Itch - Schistosoma Dermatitis –Cercaria penetrate wrong host –skin becomes irritated and inflammed = itch Cercaria have forked tail

27 27 Swimmers Itch

28 28 Class Cestoidea Tape worms No digestive system 40 feet long Individual units = proglottids –Contain own reproductive structures and organs

29 29

30 30 Scolex

31 31 Proglottid Uterus Testes Ovary Yolk gland Vas deferens Seminal receptacle

32 32 Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. Pork Tapeworm (Taenia solium)

33 33 Taenia saginata
