Evidence Against The Transmission Of Staphylococci By The Mosquito Culex Tarsalis, John R. Molenda

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Staphylococcal synovitis is a pathological condition of birds involving primarily the wing and leg joints. It is frequently referred to as arthritis, osteoarthritis, bursitis, hock disease, staphylococcosis, and weak leg.

The disease has been reported throughout various parts of the world as having been found in a great variety of avian hosts including pheasants, chickens, pigeons, canaries, geese, ducks, grouse, and turkeys.

Miner (1945) presented results of a survey made on turkey diseases in Sanpete County, Utah, which indicated staphylococcal synovitis to be responsible for the greatest numbers of deaths. His report cites this infection as having been found in …

Studies On The Helminth Fauna Of Alaska. Xxxi. Observations On The Propagation Of The Larval Echinococcus Multilocularis Leuckart, 1863, In Vitro, Robert L. Rausch, Virginia Jentoft

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

Larval reproduction in Echinococcus multilocularis Leuckart, 1863, takes place through the proliferation of exogenous secondary vesicles (Rausch, 1954). In some species of host this process appears to be continual, extending over a long period of time with little tendency for self-limitation. Consequently, the growth characteristics of this larval cestode are such that it would seem well suited to culture in vitro.

Studies On The Helminth Fauna Of Alaska. Xxv. The Ecology And Public Health Significance Of Echinococcus Sibiricensis Rausch & Schiller, 1954, On St. Lawrence Island, Robert L. Rausch, Everett L. Schiller

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

The occurrence of a species of Echinococcus (Rudolphi, 1801) on St Lawrence Island was noted by the writers in early 1950. Recognition of its unusual host relationships led to an investigation of the ecology of this cestode, E. sibiricensis Rausch & Schiller, 1954. It is the purpose of this paper to report the results of this work, with emphasis on alveolar hydatid disease in man, of which this cestode is the etiologic agent.

Observations On Shipleya Inermis Fuhrmann, 1908 (Cestoda: Acoleidae), Marietta Voge, Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

Shipleya inermis, described by Fuhrmann (1908) and redescribed by Baer (1940), is known from only few specimens. The first and only North American record of this species was published by Webster (1951), who reported the finding of two specimens in dowitchers. Examination of a large number of cestodes from dowitchers collected by Rausch, and of cestodes from the Helminthological Collection of the United States National Museum yielded specimens which are without doubt Shipleya inermis. However, some of our observations which are reported here do not agree with Baer's description. In particular, we are unable to agree with Baer …

Studies On The Helminth Fauna Of Alaska. Xxvii. The Occurrence Of Larvae Of Trichinella Spiralis In Alaskan Mammals, Robert L. Rausch, B. B. Babero, Virginia R. Rausch, Everett L. Schiller

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

In 1948 much interest in trichinosis in arctic regions was aroused, particularly by the findings of Thorborg et al. (1948), who investigated serious outbreaks occurring among the Eskimo of West Greenland during 1947. Consequently, with the founding of the Arctic Health Research Center in the autumn of 1948, a study of trichinosis in Alaska was the first project to be initiated by the Zoonotic Disease Section (formerly Animal-borne Disease Section) of this Center.

Field work was begun in January, 1949, and a preliminary note on trichinosis in Alaskan mammals was published by Brandly and Rausch (1950). The subject of trichinosis …

Studies On The Helminth Fauna Of Alaska. Xxviii. The Description And Occurrence Of Diphyllobothrium Dalliae N. Sp. (Cestoda), Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

Plerocercoid larvae of Diphyllobothrium spp. occur commonly in various species of freshwater and anadromous fishes in Alaska. Several times in recent years the writer has observed a distinctive plerocercoid in the blackfish, Dallia pectoralis Bean, an abundant and economically important species in the Kuskokwim River region of western Alaska. This cestode was studied in detail during the summer and fall of 1955, and has been found to represent an undescribed species, for which the name Diphyllobothrium dalliae n. sp. is proposed.

Bulletin No. 384 - Virus And Viruslike Diseases Of Stone Fruits In Utah: A Handbook For Their Identification And Control, B. L. Richards, L. C. Cochran

UAES Bulletins

Intensive research over the last 20 years has shown that many of the previously unexplained and seemingly mysterious disorders of stone fruit trees in Utah are infectious diseases caused by viruses. Others were shown to be the result of noninfectious genetic abnormalities or of adverse chemical and physical factors in the environment of the plant. The purpose of this handbook is to help orchardists and others recognize these diseases and disorders and understand better their etiology or cause. The handbook will also bring together basic information which will aid in their control.

Occurrence And Distribution Of Hymenolepidid Cestodes In Shrews, Marietta Voge, Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

A survey of the literature dealing with cestodes of shrews reveals the increasing interest of contemporary parasitologists in this poorly known group of symbionts. In the United States, approximately 18 species have been described from shrews in the last 15 years. These reports deal almost exclusively with morphology of the cestodes; however, information on distribution, host specificity, rate and intensity of infection, is either fragmentary or not available in published form.

A List Of Cestode Parasites From California Mammals, Marietta Voge

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

This report brings together information on the occurrence and distribution of cestode parasites in California mammals. The original information reported herein, was obtained by students, myself, and other staff members of this university. Although the host-parasite list which follows is far from complete, the dearth of knowledge about the helminth fauna in California seems to justify the publication of relatively few data, in the hope that other workers will be able to use this list as a starting point and add to it.

With few exceptions, the common names of the hosts, as given in the host list, were obtained …

Unusual Pathogenicity Of Diphyllobothrium Sp. In A Black Bear, Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

The black bear, Ursus americanus Pallas, has been found to he an exceptionally good host for a common species of Diphyllobothrium, as evidenced by the large size attained by individual strobilae, and the duration of infections experimentally established. Since 1950, the writer has used at least five of these bears annually in the study of Diphyllobothrium spp. With the single exception reported herein, no adverse effect to the hosts has been recognized.

Pustule Formation By Lactobacilli On Fermented Vegetables, T.L. Thompson, W.E. Engelhard, Hilliard Pivnik

Papers in Microbiology

Genuine dill pickles are the product resulting from the fermentation, predominantly lactic, of cucumbers immersed in a brine containing 3 to 4 per cent salt. The brine also contains dill weed and may contain spices and garlic or extracts of their essential oils. Genuine dill tomatoes are manufactured from green tomatoes by a fermentation similar to that used for pickles (Fabian and Wadsworth, 1944).
Lactobacillus plantarum is commonly associated with the fermentation of pickles (Pederson, 1936), although other lactobacilli and some yeasts undoubtedly play a role. A survery of the literature failed to uncover any reports concerning the microbial flora …

State Hospitals And Schools For The Handicapped, Don Clayton

SDSU Extension Circulars

All of us have a handicap of one kind or another. We may not be crippled in limb or mentally broken, but most of us do have handicaps that reveal themselves every once in a while. Sometimes we harbor prejudices that cause us to suffer extremely "low vision"; some people are subject to spells of "blind rage" while other "limp" socially on a withered sense of inferiority. All of us have areas and moods which find us "stumbling" in a kind of half-world between the real and the unreal.

Cyclustra Ardeae N. Sp. And The Status Of Dendrouterina Fuhrmann, 1912 (Cestoda: Dilepididae), Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

Three cestodes representing a species of the genus Cyclustra Fuhrmann, 1901, were obtained by the writer from a great blue heron, Ardea herodias L., collected at Neville, Rock County, Wisconsin, on April 14, 1947. The bird was an adult male, weighing 2,630 grams. Two other great blue herons from this locality were also autopsied, but were negative for this cestode. Two species of Cyclustra are known, bath from ardeiform birds. The Wisconsin material differs from these in morphological details, and is described herein as new.
The cestodes were stained with Semichon's acetic carmine, and mounted entire. The strobila of this …

Studies On The Helminth Fauna Of Alaska. Xxiv. Echinococcus Sibiricensis N. Sp., From St. Lawrence Island, Robert L. Rausch, Everett Schiller

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

As the result of field and laboratory investigations extending over a period of more than four years, we have amassed considerable information on the life cycle and ecology of a cestode of the genus Echinococcus (Rudolphi, 1801). Occurring on St. Lawrence Island, which lies in Bering Sea about 40 miles southeast of Cape Chukotskyi, northeast Siberia, this cestode not only has an interesting life cycle, but in the larval stage is an important parasite of humans.

During the summer of 1953, Mr. Edward T. Roche, of the Department of Zoology, University of Southern California, continued observations on the life history of the ground squirrel, Citellus undulatus barrowensis (Merriam), along the Meade River south of Point Barrow, Alaska. In the course of this work, 55 ground squirrels were examined for intestinal parasites, and were found commonly to harbor cestodes. Mr. Roche kindly offered a number of these cestodes to the writer for study, and they represent an undescribed species of Paranoplocephala Liihe, 1910.

In appreciation of the generous cooperation extended to the personnel of this laboratory by …
