Assalamulaikum w.b.t. These are some Parasitology notes I made early this block. These notes SHOULD NOT replace your lecture notes/books, but sufficient for quick revision. All the notes are in table form for easy reading. I purposely left the life cycles out, because it's better if you understand and draw them yourself. I'm sorry for any spelling mistakes I might have missed while checking. Feel free to correct and add to your own copy of the notes. And if you have your own notes that you think will be useful to your friends, please share with everyone! The more we share, the more knowledge we gain, InsyaAllah.
I didn't do notes on Microsporidia, Human blood flukes and Trichomonas vaginalis, so you won't find them here.
Entamoeba histolytica (This protozoa is so common and important, it gets its own page)
Free living Amoeba, Giardia Lambdia, Balantidium coli. (Random: Whenever I see Balandium coli, I think of "Babi", which is a crude Malay word for pig. B. coli is also the only organism we learn that has a cytopyg. XD)
Coccidia (All protozoa in this page produce oocyst. Toxoplasma gondii also produces oocyst, but like E. histolytica, it has its own page)
Toxoplasma gondii + Pneumocystis carinii
Intestinal flukes
Liver flukes
Lung flukes
*Life cycles omitted. Please draw them yourself.
I hope you'll find this useful. All the best for minitest and all the exams we'll have in the future.
