1. This egg corresponds to which of the following?

Explanation

The correct answer is Trichuris trichiura. Trichuris trichiura, also known as the whipworm, is a parasitic roundworm that infects the human gastrointestinal tract.

3. This egg corresponds to which of the following?

Explanation

The given answer, Ascaris lumbricoides, is correct because it is a common intestinal parasite that infects humans. The image of the egg corresponds to the characteristic appearance of Ascaris lumbricoides eggs, which are oval-shaped with a thick outer shell and a smooth surface.

Submit
4. This egg corresponds to which of the following?

Explanation

Enterobius vermicularis is a parasitic worm commonly known as pinworm. It is the most common intestinal parasite in humans. The female pinworm lays eggs in the perianal area, causing itching and discomfort. These eggs can be identified under a microscope by their characteristic shape and size. Therefore, the given egg corresponds to Enterobius vermicularis.

Submit
5. This corresponds to which of the following microfilaria? :)

Explanation

Loa loa is the correct answer because it is a parasitic nematode that causes loiasis in humans. It is transmitted through the bite of infected deer flies or mango flies. The microfilariae of Loa loa can be found in the blood and can cause symptoms such as itching, swelling, and localized inflammation. Therefore, Loa loa is the microfilaria that corresponds to the given question.

Submit
6. This egg corresponds to which of the following?

Explanation

Fasciola hepatica is a parasitic flatworm that infects the liver of various mammals, including humans. It is commonly known as the liver fluke. The question asks which of the given options corresponds to this particular parasite. The correct answer is Fasciola hepatica because it is the only option that matches the name of the parasite. Blastocystis hominis is a protozoan parasite, Brugia timori is a filarial worm, and Echinococcus granulosus is a tapeworm.

Submit
7. This corresponds to which of the following microfilaria?

Explanation

Wuchereria bancrofti is the correct answer because it is a parasitic nematode that causes lymphatic filariasis, also known as elephantiasis. The microfilariae of Wuchereria bancrofti are found in the lymphatic system and can be detected in the blood. This infection is transmitted through the bite of infected mosquitoes. Plasmodium ovale causes malaria, Mansonella spp. causes a different type of filariasis, and Schistosoma haematobium causes schistosomiasis, none of which are characterized by microfilariae in the blood.

Submit
8. This egg corresponds to which of the following?

Explanation

The given question asks which organism the egg corresponds to. The correct answer is Taenia sp. This means that the egg belongs to a species of the genus Taenia. The other options listed, Toxoplasma gondii, Endolimax nana, and Hymenolipis nana, are different organisms and not the correct match for the given egg.

Submit
9. This rhabditiform larva corresponds to which of the following?

Explanation

This rhabditiform larva corresponds to Strongyloides stercoralis.

Submit
10. This egg corresponds to which of the following?

Explanation

The given question is asking to identify the egg that corresponds to a specific parasite. The correct answer is Shistosoma haematobium, as it is the only option provided that matches the given name. The other options, Trichinella spiralis, Clonorchis sinensis, and Shistosoma japonicum, do not correspond to the given egg.

Submit
11. This egg corresponds to which of the following?

Explanation

Paragonimus westermani is a parasitic flatworm that causes paragonimiasis, a lung infection in humans. The question is asking which organism the given egg corresponds to, and the correct answer is Paragonimus westermani.

Submit

Submit
14. This egg corresponds to which of the following?

Explanation

Hymenolipis nana is a species of tapeworm that infects the small intestine of humans. This egg corresponds to Hymenolipis nana because it is the only option given that is a tapeworm species. Trichinella spiralis is a parasitic roundworm, Wucheria bancrofti is a filarial nematode, and Enterobius vermicularis is a pinworm.

Submit
15. This egg corresponds to which of the following?

Explanation

The given question is asking which organism the egg corresponds to. The correct answer is Shistosoma japonicum. This is because Shistosoma japonicum is a type of parasitic worm that causes schistosomiasis, a disease that affects the intestines and liver. The eggs of Shistosoma japonicum can be found in the feces or urine of infected individuals. Therefore, if an egg corresponding to one of the listed organisms is found, it would be most likely to be from Shistosoma japonicum.

Submit
16. This egg corresponds to which of the following?

Explanation

The given question asks which organism the egg corresponds to. The correct answer is Hymenolipis diminuta.

Submit
17. This egg corresponds to which of the following?

Explanation

Dipylidium caninum is a parasitic tapeworm that commonly infects dogs and cats. It is transmitted through ingestion of infected fleas. While humans can also become infected, it is more commonly found in animals.

Submit
18. This egg corresponds to which of the following?

Explanation

Clonorchis sinensis is a parasitic flatworm that primarily infects the liver and bile ducts of humans and other mammals.

This means that the egg shown in the question is characteristic of Clonorchis sinensis and can be used to identify an infection caused by this parasite.

Submit
19. This egg corresponds to which of the following?

Explanation

This egg corresponds to Fasciolopsis buski.

Submit
20. This corresponds to which of the following microfilaria?

Explanation

Brugia malayi is the correct answer because it is a type of microfilaria. The other options, Loa loa, Hymenolepis diminuta, and Fasciolopsis buski, are not microfilaria.

Submit
21. This egg corresponds to which of the following?

Explanation

Toxocara sp is the correct answer because it is a parasitic roundworm that commonly infects dogs and cats and can be transmitted to humans. The eggs of Toxocara sp are commonly found in contaminated soil or feces and can be ingested by humans, leading to a condition called toxocariasis. This condition can cause various symptoms such as fever, cough, abdominal pain, and in severe cases, organ damage. Therefore, identifying the egg as corresponding to Toxocara sp is important for diagnosis and proper treatment.

Submit
22. This egg corresponds to which of the following?

Explanation

The correct answer is "All of the above, impossible to differentiate." This is because the question is asking about the corresponding egg for a specific organism, and all three options (Echinococcus granulosus, Echinococcus multilocularis, and Taenia sp.) are possible answers. However, it is impossible to differentiate between these eggs based on the given information, so all of the options are correct.

Submit
23. Which of the following can only be found by locating the adult?

Explanation

Dracunculus medinensis, also known as the Guinea worm, can only be found by locating the adult worm. This parasite infects humans through contaminated water sources, and the adult female worm migrates through the subcutaneous tissues of the host's body, causing painful symptoms. Locating the adult worm is crucial for diagnosis and treatment purposes, as it is necessary to remove the worm from the body to alleviate symptoms and prevent further complications. The other options listed, Diphyllobothrium latum, Echinococcus granulosus, and Endolimax nana, are all parasites that can be found and diagnosed through various methods other than locating the adult worm.

Submit
24. This egg corresponds to which of the following?

Explanation

Trichinella spiralis is a parasitic roundworm that infects humans and animals when they consume undercooked meat. The question is asking which organism the given egg corresponds to. Trichinella spiralis eggs are typically found in the muscle tissue of infected hosts, particularly in the larval stage. Therefore, the correct answer is Trichinella spiralis.
