- Acanthamoeba:
- Type: Acanthamoeba is a genus of amoebae belonging to the family Acanthamoebidae.
- Description: Acanthamoeba are free-living amoebae commonly found in soil, water, and air. While they are mostly harmless in their natural habitat, they can cause infections in humans, particularly in immunocompromised individuals or those with eye injuries. Acanthamoeba keratitis is a severe eye infection caused by these amoebae, which can lead to vision loss if not treated promptly.
On the machine use:
Iodamoebiasis [entamoeba infection]: 2.5, 13.93, 204.51, 337.3, 388.95, 389, 390.7, 408.15, 409, 411.15
- Demodicosis:
- Type: Demodicosis is caused by Demodex mites.
- Description: Demodex mites are microscopic ectoparasites that live in or near hair follicles of mammals, including humans. They are typically found on the face, especially around the eyelids, eyebrows, and cheeks. While Demodex mites are commonly present on human skin and usually do not cause any harm, in some cases, they can proliferate excessively, leading to demodicosis. Demodicosis can cause skin irritation, inflammation, and other dermatological issues.
Mite Infestations: 0.03, 0.12, 0.93, 7.5, 132.33, 247.52, 362.54, 596.55, 695.61, 819.34
- Gnathostomiasis:
- Type: Gnathostomiasis is caused by nematode parasites of the genus Gnathostoma.
- Description: Gnathostomiasis is a parasitic infection primarily transmitted through the consumption of raw or undercooked freshwater fish, poultry, or amphibians that harbor infective larvae of Gnathostoma nematodes. Once ingested, the larvae migrate through the body, potentially causing symptoms such as migratory swellings under the skin, fever, pain, and neurological issues. Human infection with Gnathostoma species is relatively rare but can be severe if not treated promptly.
Parasites: roundworms (nematode): 0.68, 0.9, 2.5, 9.2, 13.93, 25.3, 93.5, 417.3, 422, 424.5
- Ocular Toxocariasis:
- Type: Ocular Toxocariasis is caused by the larvae of Toxocara canis or Toxocara cati, which are roundworms.
- Description: Toxocariasis is a parasitic infection caused by the larvae of Toxocara roundworms, commonly found in the intestines of dogs (Toxocara canis) and cats (Toxocara cati). Ocular toxocariasis occurs when these larvae migrate to the eye tissues, leading to inflammation and damage. It typically affects children who have ingested soil contaminated with Toxocara eggs or have been in close contact with infected pets. Symptoms include vision problems, eye pain, and inflammation.
Toxocariasis: 0.25, 0.87, 5.12, 85, 100, 355.72, 425.16, 571, 837, 937.41
- Lymphatic Filariasis:
- Type: Lymphatic Filariasis is caused by filarial nematodes, specifically Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi, and Brugia timori.Description: Lymphatic filariasis, also known as elephantiasis, is a parasitic disease transmitted through the bite of infected mosquitoes. The larvae (microfilariae) of filarial nematodes enter the human lymphatic system, where they develop into adult worms. These worms can cause blockages in the lymphatic vessels, leading to swelling and fluid accumulation in the limbs and genital area. Chronic infections can result in severe disfigurement and disability.
