A direct smear examination is the best way to determine the type of microfilariae?
|
true
|
|
Feline Infectious anemia is caused by
|
HEMOBARTONELLA FELIS. gram negative rickettsial bacterial agent
|
|
With FIA, repeated blood smears may be needed because
|
THE ORGANISMS MAY BE CYCLIC. the general appearance of the parasite can be mistaken for other organisms, the repeat smear is to avoid mistakes
|
|

|
TICKS.
|

|
BLEEDING AND HEMORRHAGE
|

|
BABESIA EQUI.
|
|
If the rate of red blood cell destruction exceeds the erythropoiesis formation then the resulting condition is termed

|
|
What are the two nematodes that may be found in dogs’ blood?
|
Dirofilaria immitis and Dipetalonema reconditum
|
|
How do the microfilaria of the Dirofilaria immitis and Dipetalonema reconditum look different in a direct blood smear? (although we seldom look at direct smears)
|
SOME OF THE MICROFILARIA OF DIPETALONEMA WILL HAVE A BUTTON HOOKED TAIL Dirofilaria immitis will be larger in number, the parasite will undulate in one place, has a tapered head with a straight tail and are large (120-310mm); whereas dipetalonema reconditum are fewer in number, they move across the field, have a blunted head and a button –hooked tail and are much smaller than the dirofilaria immitis. |

tick (brown dog tick)

|
BABESIA
|
|
This parasite is often treated with doxycycline or tetracycline, and has morulaes made up of multiple small blue/purple coccoid structures called elementary bodies
|
ehrlichia
|
|
This parasite is a round intra-erythrocytic body found near the margin of the RBC, once infected cattle are carriers for life (tick borne disease)
|
anaplasma
|
|
Piroplasma is transmitted by?
|
ticks
