Flagellates 鞭毛蟲Terms Used in Relation to Flagellates(Intestinal, Genital and Blood)

Flagellum 鞭毛 – roma An elongated, hair-like organelle used for locomotion. At the ultrastructural level, 1 pair of central tubules and 9 pairs of peripheral tubules are visible.Undulating membrane 波動膜 – A membranous structure which connects the flagellum to the body of the parasite. It is thrown into folds as the parasite moves, giving itan undulating appearance.Costa 肋– A cytoplasmic thickening seen at the base of the undulating membrane in some flagellates.Axostyle 軸柱 – A central supporting rod seen in some flagellates.

Page 80: Flagellates  鞭毛蟲

Amastigote 無鞭毛體– Also known as the leishmanial stage. It is round or oval in shape without any free flagella.Promastigote 前鞭毛體 – Also known as the leptomonad stage. It is elongated with kinetoplast anterior and distal to the nucleus. The flagellum emerges from the anterior end. There is no undulating membrane.Epimastigote 側鞭毛體 – Also known as the crithidial stage. It is elongated with the kinetoplast anterior and close to the nucleus. There is a short undulating membrane.Trypomastigote 錐鞭毛體 – Also known as the trypanosome stage. It is elongated with the kinetoplast posterior and distal to the nucleus. There is a long undulating membrane.

Page 81: Flagellates  鞭毛蟲

Axoneme 軸絲 – A delicate filament extending from the region of the kinetoplast to the cell membrane. It represents the cytoplasmic part of the flagellum.Kinetoplast 動基體– An oval or rod-shaped body seen in haemoflagellates. It stains with nuclear dyes and contains DNA. It is regarded as a modified part of the mitochondrium.Pleomorphic 多形性 – When a number of morphological types occur in one life cycle.Monomorphic 單形性 – When a single morphological type occurs in one life cycle.Metacyclic trypanosome – Infective forms of trypanosomes which develop in the vector.

Page 82: Flagellates  鞭毛蟲

Xenodiagnosis 病媒接種診斷 – A method of diagnosis in which a vector is fed on a suspected case and is later examined for the presence of the parasite.Peritrophic membrane 圍食膜 – A membrne which is secreted from the anterior end of the midgut in some blood- feeding arthropods. This membrane encloses the blood meal.Stercorian trypanosomes 糞內錐蟲 – Infective forms which develop in the faeces of the insect vector and enter the vertebrate host by contamination of the bite area. This is also known as the anterior station development.Salivarian trypanosomes 唾腺錐蟲 – Infective forms which develop in the mouth parts or salivary glands and enter the vertebrate host by inoculation during biting. This is also known as the anterior station development.

Page 83: Flagellates  鞭毛蟲

Volutin granules – Small inclusions seen in the cytoplasm of trypanosomes which stain red or purple with Romanovsky stains. They are probably lysosomes.Kissing bugs 錐鼻蟲 – Name given to biting bugs of the family Redurviidae which transmit Trypanosoma cruzi, become they frequently biet the face of sleeping people.Tsetse fly 采采蠅 – Name given to biting flies of the genus Glossina which transmit Trypanosoma gambiense and T . rhodesiense.Morula (mulberry) cells of Mott – These are altered plasma cells with cytoplasm filled with proteinaceous droplets. These are seen in brain tissues and characteristic of African trypanosomiasis.

Page 84: Flagellates  鞭毛蟲

Kerandel’s sign – Seen in African trypanosomiasis and in elicited by putting pressure on the palm of the hand. Severe pain occurs shortly after the pressure has been removed.Chiclero’s ulcer – A non-metastizing and long lasting skin lesion which is usually located on the ear. Caused by Leishmania mexicana.Espundia 鼻咽性 – A skin lesion which subsides spontaneously but later metastasizes to other areas. Caused by Leishmania braziliences.Uta – A skin lesion caused by Leishmania peruviana. It is usually mild and self healing. Oriental sore 東方瘡 – Cutaneous leishmaniasis of the old world cased Leishmania tropica and Leishmania major.Kala-azar 黑熱病 – Means black fever in Hindi (Indian). Refers to infection caused by Leishmania donovani.
