One of my friend says to me that when he eating food and other thing then 2 or 3 haustoria like structure came out. when he touch this structure by tongue then this structure disappear.
any body know what is this ? Is this normal or any type of parasite ?
I never hear about such kind of parasites in mouth; though, it is believed that there are some Entamoeba spp. that thrives in gums i.e Entamoeba gingivalis. However their natural visualization immposible, sepecially in haustoria like manner.
Haustoria is not visualised he feel haustoria like structure by their tounge. Not about this case but i had heard about mouth parasite. You just can google mouth parasite then you can get many mouth parasite.
He feel haustoria like structure its don't mean that it was haustoria.
Few parasites like Entamoeba gingivalis and Trichomonas tenax inhabit the mouth and are often referred to as commensal. However, they lack haustoria which mainly functions for nutrient uptake in some platyhelminthes. And if this structure is parasitic, I don't think his tongue is sensitive enough to detect it. Although in some situations, Ascaris could be coughed up, and I doubt if this is the case. I would advise he sees a specialist (perhaps an endoscopist) and let him have himself checked.
The two parasites that mainly inhabit the mouth are Entamoeba gingivalis and Trichomonas tenax . Both in the trophozoite stage.No cysts are known for these protozoa.
well, I did not hear about parasites just about protozoa Entamoeba gingivalis, or tongue worms or may be myasis but scarcely, mostly peoples with dillusion parasitosis.
- I know of Entamoeba gingivalis and Trichomana tenax that inhabit the mouth and they both appear in trophoxoite form or stage.
Entamoeba gingivalis and Trichomonas tenax are protozoa inhabiting buccal cavity. in the form of microscopic trophozoite stage. Larvae of flies can be detected in oral myiasis, larvae are macroscopic structure.
Does Mouth have any type of Parasite ?do you have information about parasite. Cestod without mouth
hi
Entamoeba gingivalis
Trichomonas tenax
and some larval stage of nematodes
