Louse-borne diseases

Sucking lice, such as the human body louse, can transmit diseases such as trench fever and epidemic typhus.Infection by Rickettsia organisms lead to high fever for two weeks, aches, bronchial disturbance, stupor, and red rash outbreaks. Fatality rate high under epidemic conditions.

Importance of Typhus

Typhus, as you have already learned, is one of the two most important historical (pre-19th century) diseases vectored by insects.

Major battlesNazi concentration camps in W.W.IITyphus is absolutely deadly to lice

True Bug-borne Pests and Diseases

True bugs (Hemiptera), have piercing-sucking mouthparts.Two families that are pests of man: Cimicidae (bedbugs), and Reduviidae (assassin bugs).Bedbugs bite people, poultry, rats, and rabbits. So alternate hosts.Cause a dermatosis, or rash, and are nocturnal feeders. Rarely disturb their host when they feed.

Chagas' Disease

Most assassin bugs are predators, but some, such as, are vertebrate feeders. They are vectors

of a microscopic flagellated protozoan, , which causes Chagas' Disease Important disease in South America

Triatoma infestansTrypanosoma lewesi

Chagas' Disease

Transmission cycle similar to typhus, in that when bug eats it defecates. Your inoculate yourself by scratching infected feces into the wound.Trypanosome gets on your hand, and you may eventually touch your eye.

Chagas' Disease

Eye swells, and this is called the Sign of Romana.Two forms of disease:

Acute form affects young children, and kills in 2 to 4 weeks.Chronic form, where nervous system and heart muscle is weakened gradually and person may die of heart attack.

Problem of eradication is that disease also in local rat and opossum populations.

Human Bot Fly

Pests of man include the human bot fly which lives under the skin of humans.

The larvae cause welts in the skin, and eventually the adult will eat its way out. Found in the tropics of Central and South America.

Human Bot Fly Life Cycle

Female glues the egg on bloodsucking fly's leg. Egg drops off fly when feeding on human. Egg hatches and larva will enter skin. No feeling until larva gets completely under the skin. It is itchy and larvae can be felt moving under skin.

Lyme Disease

Symptoms: A few days after bite, circular rash may develop with a clear center (only 40% of time!)Flu-like symptoms such as fatigue, headache, chills, stiffness of jointsStiff neck, swollen glands, conjunctivitusCan ultimately cause chronic arthritis or heart and central nervous system complicationsCan invade brain, can cause neurologic problems (EEG affected)

Leishmaniasis

Vector- a sand fly, , transmits, which is a flagellated microscopic

protozoan

Phebotomus argentipesleichmania donovani

Mode of attack- the microorganism attacks the phagocytes, which are the 'hunter-killer' cells in the immune system. These cells not recognized as parasitized by other cells

Originally was transmitted by bedbugs, due to abundance of bedbugs in many developing countriesThought illness was caused by hookworm injury-the extreme anemia and eventual death Problems with this hypothesis were that spleens were enlarged in leishmaniasis, not so with hookworm infestation

Method of transmission:Sandfly ingests protozoanFemale sandfly feeds on fruit, protozoans would multiply enormously in throat of sandfly Sandfly's throat became clogged, and sandfly would try to dislodge them by ingesting liquidSandfly, which feeds on human blood, bites human, and injects protozoan

History of Treatment/Management

No treatment initially, so high death rate, particularly among childrenDDT was a wonder drug-spray on walls of home, and up to six months later any insect landing on walls of home died First large scale trial with DDT was to eradicate Malaria along the Tennessee River in 1945 Nobel Peace Prize to discoverer of DDT, Paul Muller

Worldwide Malaria Eradication Program

Devastated sandflies, and virtually eliminated leichmania as a major disease in several areas of the world for 20 yearsIn some places a single spray would eliminate the sandflies for an entire year

Abandonment of Malaria Eradication Program

Malaria eradication program abandoned in 1960s-it was not working-spraying was expensive, not totally effective due to politics, incompetence, permanent carriers for reinvasion, etc. Also, chloroquinone was discovered-it was cheap and effectiveSandflies came back, and new epidemics occurred in Bangladesh, India, and Nepal

Now, low level of resistance in leichmania populations in Asia.Pentamidine, which is much more toxic than antimony gluconate (itself toxic to people), will work. Cost $100.00. Pentamidine used to treat AIDS patients with pneumonia caused by parasite . Pneumocystus carynii
