Parasitology
  1. Malaria pathology (sequestration and rosetting) JB
    1. sporozoites released, head to liver, merozoites, sequestration of PRBC
      1. Rosetting linked to death in children. Deficiencies in blood group O and complement recprtor 1 confer resistance
        1. PfEMP-1 (part of var gene repertoir) binds to complement receptor 1 (and others) on IE = rosetting
          1. Other parasite proteins associated with knobs
            1. There are differemt pathogologies associated with dif receptors (e.g. CSA binding = placental, CD36 binding = mild malaria, PfEMP-1 and CR1 rosetting = cerebral malaria
              1. Study covered in lecture:creating a knobless protein. Gene knockdown of KHARP (knob-associated histidine rich protein), changed antigenic properties and therefore was less stickiness to CD36. Therefore know that KHARP causes binding to CD36
            2. Rosettes btween normal and infected. Receptors: PfEMP1 (CR1/CD35), Repetitive interdispersed family (RIF)
              1. Sequestration in cerebral malaria causes hemozoin pigment
                1. Pregnancy: Rosetting doesnt happen, placental parasites have specific antigens coded by VAR2CSA genes, bind to CSA in the placenta
                2. Helminths JB
                  1. 1. Platyhelminthes: Monogeneans, trematodes, cestodes.
                    1. Trematodes (flukes)
                      1. Shistosoma aka bloodflukes
                        1. S. mansoni: hepatosplenic schistosomiasis
                          1. Egg granuloma in liver, enlarges spleen, T-helper 2 immune reaction
                        2. Syncitial tegument
                          1. Liver flukes: Clonorchis sinensis, Fasciola hepatica (not normally human host)
                          2. Cestodes
                            1. Echinacoccus: Hydatic disease
                              1. swollen stomach: huge immune reaction cos worm hasn't evolved with humans
                            2. Monogenea
                              1. posterior adhesive organs
                                1. syncytial tegument
                                  1. simple one host lifecycle
                                    1. Gyrodactylus salaris: salmon ectoparasite
                                      1. Rotenone
                                  2. Phyla: nematode, aka roundworm
                                    1. Ascaris lumbricoides aka human roundworm
                                      1. largest, most common human infective worm.
                                        1. Swallow eggs in infected food, travel from gut to lungs, cough up and swallow and they lay eggs in gut
                                        2. Hookworm such as Anclyostoma duodenale
                                          1. Whipworm = Trichuris trichiura
                                            1. causes trichuriasis when infects a human large intestine
                                            2. Wuchereria bancrofti: lymphatic filariasis
                                              1. Aedes, Culex, and Anopheles
                                              2. Pinworms
