Description
Obsolete Aconoidasida Infectious Disease
The term "Aconoidasida infectious disease" refers to an outdated classification of a vector-borne infectious disease caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Plasmodium [3][7]. This phylum, now considered obsolete, was previously used to describe diseases such as malaria, which is still a significant public health concern today.
Characteristics
Members of this phylum have an infectious stage called sporozoites, which possess three distinct structures in an apical complex [5]. The apical complex consists of a conoid, a microneme, and an rhoptry, which are involved in the invasion and infection of host cells.
Key Members
The key members of this phylum include Plasmodium spp., which infect many different vertebrates and have been one of the most significant causes of human disease [2][10]. These parasites have been responsible for widespread illness and death throughout history, particularly in tropical regions where they are prevalent.
Note: The term "Aconoidasida infectious disease" is no longer used in modern medical or scientific literature. Instead, diseases caused by Plasmodium spp. are classified under the broader category of malaria or other specific diseases such as falciparum malaria, vivax malaria, etc.

Signs and Symptoms
Signs and Symptoms of Obsolete Aconoidasida Infectious Disease
The obsolete Aconoidasida infectious disease, also known as a vector-borne infectious disease, exhibited several distinct signs and symptoms. These included:
- Paroxysmal high fever: Characterized by sudden and severe episodes of high fever, sweating, chills, and anemia [1][2].
- Weight loss: A significant decrease in weight was observed in affected individuals [3].
- Pale mucous membranes: Indicative of anaemia, pale mucous membranes were a common clinical sign [3].
- Lethargy: Affected individuals often exhibited lethargy and a general feeling of malaise [6][7].
- Mild, localized pain: In some cases, mild, localized pain was reported as the most common clinical symptom [5].
It's essential to note that these symptoms are associated with an obsolete disease, and it is crucial to consult modern medical resources for accurate information on current diseases.

Diagnostic Tests
The classification of Aconoidasida as an infectious disease may be considered obsolete, as suggested by super-resolution microscopy and proteomic data published in two different studies [1,2]. However, if we consider the diagnostic tests for this disease, there are a few methods that were mentioned:
- Microscopy of stained thick and thin blood smears is considered the "gold standard" for diagnosis [6].
- Rapid diagnostic tests have been useful in settings where more advanced testing is not available [6].
It's worth noting that diagnosing infectious diseases can be challenging due to the huge variety of potential pathogens, as mentioned by JJ Berman [8]. Therefore, a combination of clinical presentation and laboratory results may be necessary for an accurate diagnosis.
In terms of specific diagnostic methods, making a transverse section of the snout between the first and second premolar teeth at necropsy is considered the best method for evaluating this disease [7].

Treatment
Based on the provided context, it appears that there are limited information available on the drug treatment for obsolete Aconoidasida infectious diseases.
However, I found some relevant information in search results:
- There is no mention of Aconoidasida in the provided context. However, based on general knowledge, Aconoidasida is a group of parasitic protozoa that includes species such as Theileria and Babesia.
- In result 6, it mentions "theileriosis", which is a disease caused by Theileria parasites. It states that chemotherapy is a frequently used regime for the treatment of theileriosis, but does not specifically mention Aconoidasida.
- In result 8, it mentions apicomplexan infections, which includes diseases such as malaria and toxoplasmosis. However, there is no specific information on Aconoidasida.
It's worth noting that Aconoidasida appears to be an outdated term for a group of parasites, and modern classification systems may not use this term. As a result, it may be challenging to find relevant information on the drug treatment for obsolete Aconoidasida infectious diseases.
However, based on general knowledge, some antiparasitic drugs that have been used to treat related diseases include:
- Buparvaquone (result 6)
- Artemisinin combination therapies (result 8)
Please note that these are not specific treatments for Aconoidasida, but rather related treatments for other parasitic diseases.
References: [6] by PP Kar · 2022 · Cited by 2 — Chemotherapy is a frequently used regime for the treatment of theileriosis. Buparvaquone is a widely used drug for the treatment of theileriosis. [8] by N Morrissette · 2023 · Cited by 8 — Most standard-of-care treatments for apicomplexan infections have limited utility for the inhibition of other apicomplexans. For example, artemisinin combination therapies currently the gold standard for treatment.

Differential Diagnosis
The differential diagnosis for an obsolete Aconoidasida infectious disease, specifically one characterized as a vector-borne infectious disease caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Plasmodium [7], would involve ruling out other possible causes of similar symptoms.
According to available information, the main differential diagnosis for R seeberi infection is coccidioidomycosis; however, R seeberi is much larger and stains for a different type of parasite [4]. This suggests that a key factor in making a differential diagnosis would be the size and staining properties of the parasite.
Other possible causes of similar symptoms might include:
- Coccidiosis: This is an antemortem diagnosis based on identification of oocysts in the host's feces, which could potentially be confused with R seeberi infection [2].
- Malaria: While this disease is caused by a different type of parasite (Plasmodium spp.), it can cause similar symptoms such as anemia, hypoglycemia, and metabolic acidosis, leading to coma or multiple organ failure [8].
To make an accurate differential diagnosis, it would be essential to consider the specific characteristics of the parasite in question, as well as any relevant clinical investigation during the infection period [9]. Real-time PCR has greatly improved molecular detection and differential diagnosis of closely related organisms, allowing for simultaneous amplification and detection of specific genetic material [10].
