105
Winterbottom’s sign
Xenodiagnosis
Zymodeme analysis
5-2. State the geographic distribution of the
hemoflagellates.
5-3. State the common name of the conditions
and diseases associated with each of the
hemoflagellates.
5-4. Given a list of parasites, select those
belonging to the class Zoomastigophora.
5-5. Construct, describe, and compare and
contrast the life cycle of each
hemoflagellate.
5-6. Identify and describe the populations
prone to contracting clinically significant
symptoms and disease processes
associated with each of the pathogenic
hemoflagellates.
5-7. Identify and describe each of the following
as they relate to the hemoflagellates:
A. Treatment options
B. Prevention and control measures
5-8. Determine the specimen of choice,
alternative specimen type where
appropriate, collection protocol, and
laboratory diagnostic technique required
for the recovery of each of the
hemoflagellates.
5-9. Given the name, description,
photomicrograph, and/or diagram of a
hemoflagellate:
A. Identify, describe, and/or label
characteristic structures, when
appropriate.
B. State the purpose of the designated
characteristic structure(s).
C. Name the parasite, including its
morphologic form.
5-10. Analyze case studies that include pertinent
patient information and laboratory data
and:
A. Identify and describe the function
of key differential characteristic
structures.
B. Identify each responsible hemoflagellate
organism by scientific name, common
name, and morphologic form, with
justification, when indicated.
C. Identify the associated symptoms,
diseases, and conditions associated with
the responsible parasite.
D. Construct a life cycle associated with
each hemoflagellate parasite present that
includes corresponding epidemiology,
route of transmission, infective stage,
and diagnostic stage.
E. Propose each of the following related to
stopping and preventing hemoflagellate
infections:
1. Treatment options
2. Prevention and control plan
F. Determine the specimen of choice and
alternative specimen types, where
appropriate, as well as the appropriate
laboratory diagnostic technique for the
recovery of each hemoflagellate.
G. Recognize sources of error, including
but not limited to, those involved in
specimen collection and processing and
specimen testing, and propose solutions
to remedy them.
H. Interpret laboratory data, determine
specific follow-up tests that could or
should be done, and predict the results
of those tests.
I. Determine additional morphologic
forms, when appropriate, that may also
be detected in clinical specimens.
5-11. Compare and contrast the similarities and
differences between:
A. The hemoflagellates covered in this
chapter
B. The hemoflagellates covered in this
chapter and the other parasites covered
in this text
5-12. Identify and describe the standard,
immunologic, and new laboratory
diagnostic approaches for the recovery of
hemoflagellates in clinical specimens.
5-13. Given prepared laboratory specimens and,
with the assistance of this manual, the
learner will be able to:
A. Differentiate hemoflagellate organisms
from artifacts.
B. Differentiate the hemoflagellate
organisms from each other and from the
other appropriate categories of
parasites.
C. Correctly identify each hemoflagellate
parasite by scientific, common name,
and morphologic form based on its key
characteristic structure(s).
