Executive Summary

Biological diversity refers to the variety and variability among living organisms and the ecological complexes in which they occur. Diversity can be defined as the number of different items and their relative frequency. For biological diversity, these items are organized at many levels, ranging from complete ecosystems to the chemical structures that are the molecular basis of heredity. Thus, the term encompasses different ecosystems, species, genes, and their relative abundance (OTA, 1987).

There is an ongoing, unprecedented loss of the variety as well as absolute numbers of organisms-from the smallest microorganism to the largest and most spectacular of …

Case Report Of Human Infection With Capillaria Philippinensis, Ching-Yu Chen, Wei-Chuan Hsieh, Tsang-Lie Chen

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Library Materials

In July 1988, a case of human infection with Capillaria philippinensis, so-called the intestinal capillariasis, was discovered at the National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH). This is the first case reported in Taiwan.

Capillaria philippinesis is a parasite of fish-eating birds In nature it has a fish-bird life cycle. When human populations disrupt the natural cycle by eating raw fish infected with the larvae of C. philippinensis, they may acquire the disease.

The Phylogenetic Status Of The Ancryocephalidae Bychowsky, 1937 (Monogenea: Dactylogyroidea), Delane C. Kitsky, Walter A. Boeger

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Library Materials

Phylogenetic analysis of selected subfamily and family taxa within the Dactylogyroidea indicates that the Ancyrocephalidae Bychowsky, 1937, is unnatural. The family contains both poly- and paraphyletic features. The analysis supports the previous elevation of the Pseudomurraytrematinae to family status and suggests that revision of the Ancyrocephalidae is necessary. Two options for revision are provided; that of returning the taxon to subfamily status within the Dactylogyridae is preferred, requiring a change in status of the Heterotesiidae to a subfamily within the Dactylogyridae.

Parasitangrepp I Ögon Hos Fisk, Som Lever I Kylvatten Från Kärnkraftsreaktorer, Johan Höglund, Jan Thulin

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Library Materials

Sammanfattning

Under åren 1983 t.o.m. 1987 undersöktes förekomst, intensitet och skadeverkan av ögonsugmaskar hos fisk, som påverkats av en förhöjd vattentemperatur. Undersökningarna utfördes huvudsakligen i Biotestsjön, som är ett 1 km² stort invallat havsområde (S ^o/_oo salthalt), som mottager uppvärmt (ca. 8 °C) kylvatten (ca. 90 m³ / s) från Forsmarks kärnkraftverk. Både de morfologiska och experimentella undersökningarna med metacerkarier tyder på att det förekommer fyra olika arter av släktet Diplostomum i Biotestsjön, två i abborre och två i mört. Då taxonomiska revisioner pågår utomlands föredrogs att kalla dessa arter Diplostomum sp1-4. Metacerkarier av D. …

Taxonomy, Systematics, And Ecology Of Helminth Parasites Of The Ringed Seal, Phoca Hispida Schreber, In Alaskan Waters, Ann Marie Adams

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Library Materials

The genus Orthosplaochnus Odhner, 1905 (Trematoda: Campulidae) was revised, with eight species recognized. Odhneriella Skriabin, 1915 was placed in synonymy with Orthosplanchnus, and Hadwenius was shown to be valid. Orthosplanchnus rossicus (Skriabin, 1915) (syn. Odhneriella rossica) was redescribed.

Inconsistencies in the diagnosis of the Anophryocephalus Baylis, 1922 (Cestoda: Tetrabothriidae) were discussed, along with the basis for generis revision. The taxonomic histories of certain genera of nematodes (e.g., Contracaecum Railliet and Henry, 1912; Dipetalonema Diesing; 1861; and Pseudoterranova Mosgovoi, 1950) were given to explain their present status.

The helminth-fauna of the ringed seal in the North Pacific was compared …

Modification Of Sand Fly Biting Behavior By Leishmania Leads To Increased Parasite Transmission, Raymond Beach, Gabriel Kjilu, Johannis Leeuwenberg

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Library Materials

To attempt rodent-sand fly-rodent transmission of Leishmania major, laboratory-reared Phlebotomus doboscqi were fed on L. major-infected mice and then refed on uninfected mice 21 days later. Flies which refed either probed 1–2 times and took a full blood meal in less than 10 minutes or probed 3 or more times and took little or no blood during a period of 15 minutes or more. When dissected, 7 of 8 flies which experienced difficulty in obtaining a blood meal had flagellates in their cibaria, an observation supporting the hypothesis that parasites in this part of the alimentary canal modify normal …

Key To Trematodes Reported In Waterfowl, Malcolm Edwin Mcdonald

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Library Materials

This key is the second in a series for identification of the helminths reported in waterfowl (Family Anatidae, Order Anseriformes). The first was a key to nematodes (McDonald 1974).

The trematodes show the greatest variety of forms among the helminth parasites of waterfowl, including over half of all species reported; sometimes this group also includes the greatest part of the worms in a single bird. Over 500 species of trematodes have been reported in waterfowl. Almost all of these have been included in the present set of keys; it was not possible, however, to obtain the descriptions of a few …

Lice Of Public Health Importance And Their Control, Harry D. Pratt, Kent S. Littig

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Library Materials

Lice have been intimately associated with man for centuries. Infestations with lice occur today in the United States and many other countries despite great efforts to maintain high standards of public health. Public health agencies are often called upon if infestations include or expose large groups of people, particularly those in public institutions such as schools, jails, hospitals, or homes for the aged.

The three sucking lice that infest humans are: the body louse (Pedlculus humanus humanus), the head louse (Pediculus humanus capitis), and the crab louse (Pthirus pubis). The body louse is the …

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 …

In the first hours after the larvae had begun blood sucking on infected specimens of Meriones erythrourus, Nuttallia which had got into the intestire of the tick, leave erythrocytes and multiply by division into two or four individuals. Two or four hours later, mono-nuclear trophozoites occur in the haemocoel of the tick. Here their multiple division occurs. Multinucleated developmental stages of Nuttallia occur in the haemocoel during 24 hours after the larvae become detached from the host. The multinucleated stages break down into …

Conclusions

Sarcocystis tenellainfects sheep in southeast Kazakhstan starting in their second month of life. As the sheep age the extent and intensity of infection grows, by the tenth or eleventh month, 100% of the sheep are infected. Adult sheep more than 5 years old are all infected with sarcosporidia.

As the level of fatness decreases the extent and severity of sarcosporidial infection rises.

Females become infected oftener and more heavily than males.

Infection of sheep by sarcosporidia occurs throughout the year in southeast Kazakhstan, with a rise in the spring-summer and early autumn periods; its prevalence is somewhat less …
