<FlashCard questions="6">
|q1= What type of organism are trypanosomes?
|a1= Protozoa
|l1= Trypanosoma
|q2= What are the two types of trypanosome and what is the difference between them?
|a2=
*Stercorarian and Salivarian
*The difference is in the route of infection by the insect vector - stercorarian trypanosomes develop in the posterior gut and are excreted onto the skin in the insect's faeces. Salivarian trypanosomes develop in the anterior gut and are transmitted in the insect's bite.
|l2= Trypanosoma#Lifecycle
|q3= Which trypanosome poses most danger to humans? What is the disease known as?
|a3=
*''T. cruzi''
*Chagas' Disease
|l3= Trypanosoma#Lifecycle
|q4= What are the two ways in which the parasites cause disease?
|a4=
*They deplete nutrients from their hosts.
*They cause haemolytic anaemia when in the blood.
|l4= Trypanosoma#Pathogenesis
|q5=Which trypanosome causes skin disease in donkeys?
|a5= ''T. brucei''
|l5= Trypanosoma#Diseases
|q6= Which two trypanosomes are present in the UK and what diseases do they cause?
|a6=
*''T. melophagum'' and ''T. theileri''
*They are both non-pathogenic
|l6=Trypanosoma#Diseases
