  • In Phlebotomus Sergenti (Diptera: Psychodidae)
    726 The development of Psychodiella sergenti (Apicomplexa: Eugregarinorida) in Phlebotomus sergenti (Diptera: Psychodidae) LUCIE LANTOVA1,2* and PETR VOLF1 1 Department of Parasitology, Faculty of Science and 2 Institute of Histology and Embryology, First Faculty of Medicine, Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic (Received 1 October 2011; revised 17 November 2011; accepted 18 November 2011; first published online 8 February 2012) SUMMARY Psychodiella sergenti is a recently described specific pathogen of the sand fly Phlebotomus sergenti, the main vector of Leishmania tropica. The aim of this study was to examine the life cycle of Ps. sergenti in various developmental stages of the sand fly host. The microscopical methods used include scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and light microscopy of native preparations and histological sections stained with periodic acid-Schiff reaction. Psychodiella sergenti oocysts were observed on the chorion of sand fly eggs. In 1st instar larvae, sporozoites were located in the ectoperitrophic space of the intestine. No intracellular stages were found. In 4th instar larvae, Ps. sergenti was mostly located in the ectoperitrophic space of the intestine of the larvae before defecation and in the intestinal lumen of the larvae after defecation. In adults, the parasite was recorded in the body cavity, where the sexual development was triggered by a blood- meal intake. Psychodiella sergenti has several unique features. It develops sexually exclusively in sand fly females that took a bloodmeal, and its sporozoites bear a distinctive conoid (about 700 nm long), which is more than 4 times longer than conoids of the mosquito gregarines. Key words: Psychodiella, Psychodiella sergenti, gregarine, Phlebotomus sergenti, sand fly, life cycle, PAS, egg, larva, adult.

The new species is characterized by having bean-shaped gamonts measuring 94.0-151.0 (119.0±16.0) µm ×53.0-81.0(66.0±8.0) µm. The anterior end of the ga- mont is always wider than the posterior end. The mucron is always present at the wider end. The occurrence of syzygy (end to end, cauda-frontal) is a very rare feature which has been observed in the life cycle of the new species. The gametocyst is ovoid consisting of two unequal gamonts, measuring 85.0-102.0 µm (93.0±6.0). Oocysts are navicular in shape, measuring 6.5-11.0 (9.0±1.1) µm ×4.0-7.5 (5.5±1.9) µm.

  • Phylogenetic Relationships and Distribution of the Rhizotrogini (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Melolonthinae) in the West Mediterranean
    Graellsia, 59(2-3): 443-455 (2003) PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIPS AND DISTRIBUTION OF THE RHIZOTROGINI (COLEOPTERA, SCARABAEIDAE, MELOLONTHINAE) IN THE WEST MEDITERRANEAN Mª. M. Coca-Abia* ABSTRACT In this paper, the West Mediterranean genera of Rhizotrogini are reviewed. Two kinds of character sets are discussed: those relative to the external morphology of the adult and those of the male and female genitalia. Genera Amadotrogus Reitter, 1902; Amphimallina Reitter, 1905; Amphimallon Berthold, 1827; Geotrogus Guérin-Méneville, 1842; Monotropus Erichson, 1847; Pseudoapeterogyna Escalera, 1914 and Rhizotrogus Berthold, 1827 are analysed: to demonstrate the monophyly of this group of genera; to asses the realtionships of these taxa; to test species transferred from Rhizotrogus to Geotrogus and Monotropus, and to describe external morphological and male and female genitalic cha- racters which distinguish each genus. Phylogenetic analysis leads to the conclusion that this group of genera is monophyletic. However, nothing can be said about internal relationships of the genera, which remain in a basal polytomy. Some of the species tranferred from Rhizotrogus are considered to be a new genus Firminus. The genera Amphimallina and Pseudoapterogyna are synonymized with Amphimallon and Geotrogus respectively. Key words: Taxonomy, nomenclature, review, Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Melolonthinae, Rhizotrogini, Amadotrogus, Amphimallon, Rhizotrogus, Geotrogus, Pseudoapterogyna, Firminus, Mediterranean basin.

  • Paraophioidina Scolecoides N. Sp., a New Aseptate Penaeus Vannamei
    DISEASES OF AQUATIC ORGANISMS Vol. 19: 67-75,1994 Published June 9 Dis. aquat. Org. 1 l Paraophioidina scolecoides n. sp., a new aseptate gregarine from cultured Pacific white shrimp Penaeus vannamei Timothy C. Jonesl, Robin M. O~erstreet'~*,Jeffrey M. Lotzl, Paul F. Frelier2 'Gulf Coast Research Laboratory, PO Box 7000, Ocean Springs, Mississippi 39566, USA 2Department of Veterinary Pathobiology, College of Veterinary Medicine, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas 77843, USA ABSTRACT: The aseptate gregarine Paraophloidina scolecoides n. sp. (Eugregarinorida: Lecud- inidae) heavily infected the nlidgut of cultured larval and postlarval specimens of Penaeus vannamei from a commercial 'seed-production' facility in Texas, USA. It is morphologically similar to P korot- neffiand P vibiliae, but it can be distinguished from them and from other members of the genus by having gamonts associated exclusively by lateral syzygy. Shrimp acquired the infection at the facility; nauph did not show any evidence of infection, but protozoea, mysis, and postlarval shrimp had a prevalence and intensity of infection ranging from 56 to 80 % and 10 to >50 parasites, respectively. Infected shrimp removed from the facility to aquaria at another location lost their gamont infection within 7 d. When voided from the gut, the gregarine disintegrated in seawater. Results suggest that P vannamei is an accidental host, although a survey of representative members of the invertebrate fauna from the environment associated with the facility failed to discover other hosts. No link was established between infection and either the broodstock or the water or detritus from the nursery or broodstock tanks. KEY WORDS: Gregarine .
