- Malarial triad.

Malaria is charachterized by 3 symptoms with each other:-

1-Enlarged spleen: which is tender and soft.

2-Intermittent febrile paroxysms in which the intervals are usually regular and the patient
is ill between the attacks.

3-Destruction of RBC's leading to 2ry Aneamia.

- sexually transmitted parasites.

1- Trichomonas vaginalis.

- Cause Trichomoniasis.

- T. vaginalis infection is limited in men due to trichomonocidal activity of prostatic secretion and flushing out of the parasites from the urethra during micturition, although it may cause mild urethritis or occasionally prostatitis.

- In women, it is oftenasymptomatic,but if infections persist with vaginitis with frothy vaginal discharge of offensive odour and associated with itching.

2-Human Lice

a-Pediculus humanus.

- Pediculus humanus capitis (head louse),

Zoonosis

Zoonosis

Def :- It is disease transmitted () vertebrate animals and man.

Zoo = related to animal (animal in origin)
Anthropo = man (human in rigin)
Noso = diseaes

* So ,

• Zoonotic disease :- a disease transmitted from animals to man.
• Anthroponoses :- adisease maintained only By man e.g trichomoniasis.
• zooanthroponoses :-a disease of animals & can be transmitted to man e.g trichinosis.
• Anthropozoonoses :- a disease of Human origin& can be transmitted to Animals e.g taeniasis.

*Zoonoses can be listed according to the infectious agent:-

• Parasitic.
• Fungal.
• Bacterial.
• Viral.
• Prial (by prions).
