Bibliography Of Diseases And Parasites Of Marine Fish And Shellfish (With Emphasis On Commercially Important Species), Carl J. Sindermann

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

The literature on diseases and parasites of marine animals has been accumulating at an accelerating rate in recent decades, and at a seemingly geometrical rate in the past few years. Reviews of selected aspects of the subject have appeared (Cheng, 1967; Sindermann, 1966; Sindermann and Rosenfield, 1967). References listed in these papers include a significant, but still a small part, of the available literature. With the proliferation of journals in many languages throughout the world, a complete bibliography, even in a narrow area of research, is almost an impossibility. Then too, the daily appearance of new published information represents an …

Studies On The Helminth Fauna Of Alaska. Xlv. Schistotaenia Srivastavai N. Sp. (Cestoda: Amabiliidae) From The Red-Necked Grebe, Podiceps Grisegena (Boddaert), Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

The genus Schistotaenia Cohn, 1900, at present includes six species, all parasites of grebes (Podicipediformes). Among helminths found in a red-necked grebe, Podiceps grisegena (Boddaert), on October 18, 1966, at Anchorage, Alaska, were cestodes representing two species of Schistotaenia, of which one is described here as new. The host was an adult bird which evidently had been injured during migration.

This cestode is named in honor of Dr. H. D. Srivastava, in recognition of his significant contributions to helminthological research.

Spinitectus Beaveri Sp. N. (Nematoda: Spiruroidea) From The Bonefish, Albula Vulpes (Linnaeus), In Florida, Robin M. Overstreet

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

Spinitectus beaveri sp. n. from the stomach of Albula vulpes is described. In the male, the maximum length is 6 mm, the esophagus is approximately 30% of the body length, the spicule ratio is 1:2.5 to 3.0, and there are 4 pre- and 5 postcloacal papillae. In the female, the maximum length is 7 mm, the esophagus is approximately 27% of the body length, and approximately 38% of the body length is posterior to the vulva. The species most closely resembles S. carolini Holl, 1928, from which it differs by having 10 to 16 rather than 25 to 35 cuticular …

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 …

The Terminology And Occurrence Of Certain Structures Of Digenetic Trematodes, With Special Reference To The Hemiuroidea, Harold W. Manter

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

A number of terms applied to structures of digenetic trematodes are defined. The hermaphroditic sac of haploporids is distinguished from the sinus sac of hemiurids. The term sinus organ is applied to a cirrus-like organ in the sinus sac of several genera of Dinurinae.

Glomericirrus septemlobus Teixeira de Freitas and Kohn, 1965 is a synonym of Lecithochirium microstomum Chandler, 1935.

Erilepturus africanus Fischthal and Kuntz, 1963 is a synonym of Dinurus gizae Fischthal and Kuntz, 1963.

System Analysis And Nematode Phylogeny, Armand R. Maggenti

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

The purpose here is to suggest a method which will permit understanding of the phylogenetic relationships of contemporary representatives of the phylum Nematoda without fossils. It is not my intent to again offer a phylogeny for the Nematoda. To say that no real benefit or knowledge of phylogeny or evolution is possible without fossils is succumbing to apathy. One cannot deny or ignore that all systems, morphological, biological and chemical manifested in modern forms developed by evolutionary sequence. It is true that with a complete fossil record the rates of evolution and developmental pressures could be accurately evaluated. However, in …

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 of Parasitology: 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 …

Parasitic Organisms In The Blood Of Arvicoline Rodents In Alaska, Francis H. Fay, Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

A Grahamella-like organism (Schizomycetes: Bartonellaceae) was found in erythrocytes of laboratory-reared northern voles, Microtus oeconomus Pallas, which had been inoculated intraperitoneally with a saline suspension of ground fleas, Megabothris abantis (Roths.), from wild northern voles captured at Lower Ugashik Lake, Alaska Peninsula. A live-trapped northern vole from the same locality harbored trypanosomes referable to T. microti (Mastigasida: Trypanosomatidae). Two morphologically similar but biologically different strains of piroplasms (Piroplasmasida: Theileriidae) of uncertain generic status were isolated from northern voles of Ugashik Lake origin and from northern red-backed voles, Clethrionomys rutilus Pallas, from the vicinity of Anchorage, Alaska. In the natural …

Phlyctainophora Squali Sp. Nov. (Nematoda, Philometridae) From The Spiny Dogfish, Squalis Acanthias, Dwight R. Mudry, Murray D. Dailey

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Library Materials

Summary

Phlyctainophora squali sp. nov. is described from 23 female specimens recovered from the subcutaneous tissue of one of 440 Squalis acanthias caught off Los Angeles, California. This finding represents a new host and distribution for this genus. Phlyctainophora is placed in the family Philometridae on the basis of atrophication of vulva and anus, simple mouth, viviparity and location in tissue of fishes. The family diagnosis for Philometridae is amended to include Phlyctainophora which lacks an anterior ovary.

Digenetic Trematodes Of Marine Teleost Fishes From Biscayne Bay, Florida, Robin M. Overstreet

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

This study includes 111 species of Digenea from 69 of 113 species of teleost fishes examined from Biscayne Bay, Florida. Biscayne Bay represents the reported northern limit along the Atlantic coast for all but 22 of the 111 species. It represents the southern limit for only one, Didymocystis scomberomori. From the known collections reported in the literature, the Digenea from Biscayne Bay appear to consist primarily of a tropical fauna. Species previously known from the Pacific Ocean only are Botulisaccus pisceus and Pseudocreadium scaphosomum. There are 81 new host records.

Two new genera are created: Claribulla (Felloclistomatidae) and …

Studies On The Helminth Fauna Of Alaska, Xlvi. Davainea Lagopodis Sp. Nov. (Cestoda: Davaineidae) From Grouse (Tetraonidae), Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

Cestodes of the genus Davainea Blanchard 1891, from grouse in various Eurasian and North American regions have been identified as D. tetraoensis Fuhrmann 1919, or less frequently as D. proglottina (Davaine 1860). Those from ptarmigan (Lagopus spp.) in Alaska, resembling D. tetraoensis in some details but having only a single row of rostellar hooks and fewer testes, were earlier reported as D. proglottina by Babero (1953). The study of additional material from grouse from Alaska indicates that this cestode is specifically distinct from the two species mentioned. It is described here as new.

Axenic Ovarial Explants From The Marine Nematode Deontostoma Californicum On Culture Media, D. R. Viglierchio, Armand R. Maggenti, R. N. Johnson

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

The gonads of Deontostoma californicum were isolated from the organismal environment by dissection. In an attempt to approximate the in vivo condition and to maintain in vitro architecture and function ten media recommended for the culture of insect cells or organs were tested. The media were prepared in two series: one according to published recommendations and the second substituting filtered seawater for the inorganic salts and distilled water. Media were prepared as both liquid and gel (agar) with and without antibiotics. Whole animals and eggs were placed on the same culture media series as the ovarial explants. Ovarial explant reaction …

Zoonotic Diseases In The Changing Arctic, Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

Compatible with the biotic uniformity of northern regions, the occurrence of certain organisms which cause zoonotic diseases is general throughout the Arctic. In the past, most frequently affected by such diseases have been aboriginal peoples whose way of life involved encroachment upon naturally occurring parasite-host assemblages. Now, as changes take place in socioeconomic conditions in the Arctic, the importance of zoonotic diseases as a cause of morbidity may lessen among such peoples, but on the other hand, more nonaborigines may be affected. Although my remarks relate mainly to Alaska, again the biotic uniformity of the North seems to have its …

A Brief History Of The Namru-3 Medical Zoology Program, Harry Hoogstraal

United States Naval Medical Research Unit 3: Publications

The NAMRU-3 Medical Zoology program began during Easter week of 1950. We had just closed the NAMRU-3 field station at Torit, in Equatoria Province of soulheastern Sudan, and were heading homeward to the United States. However, the offer to remain in Egypt for a year or two to develop a Medical Zoology department at NAMRU-3 provided an interesting challenge after working for several years in tropical forests and grasslands of Africa and other continents. We shall briefly describe subsequent events under four headings: (1) Medical Zoology in Egypt, (2) Ticks and Tickborne Diseases of the World, (3) Kala Azar in …

Parasites Of The Inshore Lizardfish, Synodus Foetens, From South Florida, Including A Description Of A New Genus Of Cestoda, Robin M. Overstreet

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

The parasites of the inshore lizardfish, Synodus foetens, were studied from collections taken from an estuarine canal in south Florida between January 1963 and December 1964. A new genus of Cestoda (Bothriocephalidae) has been erected with the proposed name Anantrum. Several larval and adult helminths and a dinoflagellate were studied from monthly samples of Synodus. Incidence of infection, intensity of infection, location of parasites in the host, and associations among parasites are discussed. Extensions of ranges for parasites in S. foetens and parasites heretofore not recorded from S. foetens are noted.

Taxonomic Characters In The Genus Echinococcus (Cestoda: Taenlidae), Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

Not more than four species of cestodes of the genus Echinococcus Rudolphi, 1801, are recognized as valid. The larval stage of at least three of them is able to develop in man, causing respective types of hydatid disease. Accurate characterization of these cestodes, including both larval and adult stages, is essential for identification, upon which depends development of methods for preventing infection of man and domestic animals. Because morphological characteristics of the larval cestodes may be modified according to the species of host in which they develop, identification should be based upon taxonomic characters of specimens from the respective natural …
