Distributional Studies Of Parasitic Arthropods In Utah Determined As Actual And Potential Vectors Of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever And Plague: With Notes On Vector-Host Relationships, D Elden Beck

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

Through the courtesy of the National Institutes of Health, Grants and Fellowships Division, a project was established at Brigham Young University to study the distribution and host relationships of vectors for Rocky Mountain spotted fever and plague in the state of Utah.

Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever
Of the four capable vectors listed as present in the United States, Dermacentor andersoni and Haemaphysalis leporis palustris are found in Utah. Listed for Utah as potential (experimental) vectors are Dermacentor parumapertus, Dermacentor albipictus, Rhipicephalis sanguineus and Ornithodoros parkeri. Of the potential vectors D. parumapertus is the only species having extensive distribution in Utah. …

Mammal Observations At Lower Back River, Northwest Territories, Canada, H. L. Gunderson, W. J. Breckenridge, J. A. Jarosz

University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers

The Back River drains the interior barrens of the Northwest Territories of Canada. According to Blanchet (1930) the river has its headwaters in a high plateau and flows through a sand plain basin (not in accord with conditions of our base camp). The country north of the Back River drainage is of low relief. The river takes a northerly direction for the last one-third of its course. To the east, between the river and Wager Bay, the country is known to be very rugged.

The first known exploration of the Back River, then called the Great Fish River, was by …

Plankton Studies Of The Tomales Bay, California, Andrew William Mcclain

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

These studies on the plankton of Tomales Bay were designed to determine the effects of such physical factors as tides, temperatures, salinities and sunshine on the quantities of various types of organisms, and to obtain a more comprehensive picture of estuarine life at the Pacific Marine Station. The studies were begun in the summer of 1948 and continued through the summer of 1953.

Although various studies have been conducted on different aspects of marine plankton, the only general treatments of the subject of which the writer is aware are those of Johnstone (1924), Ricketts and Calvin (1951), Sproaton (1949) and …

(Summary) Of Variation In Pasture Ticks (Acarina, Ixodidae) And Its Significance For Systematics, G. S. Pervomaisky

United States Naval Medical Research Unit 3: Publications

First paragraph:

1) Pasture ticks (Ixodidae) have a great significance as specific vectors and stimulators of many infectious diseases of man and cattle.

Spermatogenesis In The Sand Crab Emerita Analoga, Mario Martin Menesini

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Crustacean spermatozoa are among the most peculiarly modified germ cells in the animal kingdom. Many of their striking cytological specializations may be observed in the sperm cells or Emerita analoga, the so-called sand crab. This animal has been used by the writer for studies on spermatogenesis and on spermatozoan behavior during the summer or 1951, 1952, and 1953 at the Pacific Marine Station.

Experiments In Transmission Of Theileriasis And Anaplasmosis Of Sheep Through Ticks Ornithodoros Lahorensis And Haemaphysalis Sulcata, P. A. Bitukov

United States Naval Medical Research Unit 3: Publications

First paragraph:

In conducting inspection of sheep on haemosporidiosis in some districts of South-Kazakhstankoi region, we repeatedly observed theileriasis and anaplasmosis of sheep.

Note: Numerous other experimental data in this paper are omitted from the present translation. This report is of special interest because it establishes the role of an argasid tick as a vector of blood protozoa. Translation made and distributed by Medical Zoology Department, U. S. Naval Medical Research Unit no. 3, Cairo, Egypt.

Red-Backed Vole With A Tick Attached Near Eyeball, H. L. Gunderson

University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers

A red-backed vole (Clethrionomys gapperi), with a tick attached to or just under the inner corner of the eyelid at the canthus, was caught in a live trap on July 11, 1961. This is an unusual place of attachment and it is difficult to understand how the tick could have become attached at a point where it could easily be scratched off by either the forefoot or hind foot of the vole.

Life Cycle Studies On Stephanostomum Pacificum, A New Species Of Trematode, From The Pacific Marine Station Area, James Frank Hughes

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

This report summarizes the results of a study on the life cycle of a member of the trematode family Acanthooolpidae, genus Stephanostomum Looss, 1899, which was carried on during the summers of 1948, 1949, 1951, and the winter of 1948-49 at the Marine Station of the College or the Pacific at Dillon Beach, California. Only one previous experimental work has been done on the life cycle of any member of this family. Martin (1939) reported the life cycle of Stephanostomum tenue (Linton) which he had obtained at Woods Hole, Massachusetts. Modifications of his technical procedures have been used in this …
