Topics of this game:
- Primary method used to differentiate bacteria
- Have a large external cell wall and stain purplish-blue
- Have a thin internal cell wall and stain pink
- Bacteria that grow in low oxygen environments
- Protects some bacteria from drying out and shields from detergents or phagocytosis by WBCs
- This causes severe disease, produced by Clostridium species
- Hair-like structures on the outside of a cell
- Dormant forms of bacteria that may even survive autoclaving!
- viruses that contains RNA
- belong to the helminth group: Cestodes
- Myocoptes musculinis, Radfordia affinis, Myocoptes musculi
- Pneumonyssus simicola
- commonly called mange; in dogs, cats, rabbits, humans, etc.
- found in hair follicles and sebaceous glands of dogs and other animals
- Polyplax serrata
- host-specific, spread by direct contact
- unique arthropods: lack jointed legs, internal parasite, zoonotic, found in resp. tract, skin, SQ of reptiles
- dog & cat flea, also the intermediate host for Dipylidium caninum
- have a narrow head
- have a wide head
- In the Ascarid group, canine roundworm
- mouse pinworms, passed by fecal-oral route
- hookworm, zoonotic, found in Old World Monkeys
- canine heartworm, in the nematode group
- thorny-headed worms, require an intermediate host such as a cockroach or beetle
- Parasitic leeches, ectoparasites, infest primates and other animals by invading nose, mouth, pharynx or skin
- elongated, non-segmented, cylindrical bodies, include whipworms, ascarids, pinworms, hookworms, filaria
- flukes, flat, complex life cycle, larval forms hatch in water, migrate to the liver
- rice-like segments of tapeworms, contain fertilized eggs
- Apicomplexan organism (form spores), cats are the definitive hosts
- flagellate protozoan parasite
- group of fungi that cause ringworm
- zoonotic, causes lethargy, tremors, and partial paralysis in rabbits
- affects Xenopus laevis, thickens the frog's skin, inhibiting oxygen flow, causing fatal wasting disease
- type of pathogenic fungi (systemic mycoses) causes fatal disease in immunosuppressed animals
- misshapen proteins that invade host cells, difficult to inactivate because they do not contain nucleic acid
- can only replicate inside a host's cell, contains a strand of nucleic acid, a protein capsid, lipid envelope
- contains ribonucleic acid
- contains deoxyribonucleic acid
- smallpox/vaccinia in humans, mouse pox in mice, monkey pox in NHPs, orf in small ruminants
- type of virus highly resistant to break down in the environment
- Macaques that are asymptomatic may shed this virus, type of herpesvirus, fatal to humans
- an orthomyxovirus
- paramyxovirus, infects NHPs exposed to infected humans
- common coronavirus infection in mice, causes immunesuppression
- highly contagious coronavirus in rats, causes disease of the eye and lymphatic system
- means arthropod-borne, ticks, mosquitos, mites, lice carry these viruses from one animal to another
- an arbovirus
- a prion, bovine spongiform encephalopathy
