A New Genus Of Trematode (Digenea: Gorgoderidae) From The Ureter Of Tuna Fish (Thunnus Thynnus Maccoyii) In Australia, Harold W. Manter

Harold W. Manter Laboratory: Library Materials

A large, digenetic trematode is described from the ureter of the tuna Thunnus thynnus moccoyii from southern Australian waters. It represents a new genus and species, Cetiotrema crassum (subfamily Gorgoderinae) distinguished by the size and shape of the body, the caeca being distant from the sides of the body, the uterus being intercaecal, the vitellaria arising as three claviform lobes on each side and the seminal vesicle at least partly anterior to the genital pore.

The genus is close to Phyllodistomum Braun; P. carangi Manter, 1947, is considered to belong to Cetiotrema; P. lancea Mamaev, 1968 is very similar …

Conclusions

1. Under experimental conditions wild boars are sensitive to toxoplasmosis to a significant degree. In all 6 of the infected animals the disease ended lethally. The characteristic clinical symptom was involvement of the eyes.

2. Spontaneous Toxoplasma antibodies were observed in 36 (34.3%) of 105 boars studied with CFRs.

3. Toxoplasma was found microscopically in smears of kidney, spleen, and brain from 3 boars; the bioprobe method revealed it in the lymph nodes of 10 animals; in these cases the strain isolated was avirulent.

Conclusions

1. In the mountainous regions of the Kopet-Dag, where cases of visceral leishmaniasis have been observed, 19 species of sandflies were found.

2. The physico-geographic conditions of the mountain valleys and their individual parts may substantially affect the species content of the sandflies and the abundance of a given species.

3. On the north slopes of the Kopet-Dag a flight of 4 generations was observed at settled places; P. papatasi, S. arpaklensis, and S. grecovi were most numerous in human habitations, while in the rodent colonies one sees.P. caucasicus, P. mongolensis, and P. chinensis …
