  • The Morphological and Molecular Characterization of Baylisascaris
    Sharifdini et al. Parasites Vectors (2021) 14:33 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13071-020-04513-4 Parasites & Vectors RESEARCH Open Access The morphological and molecular characterization of Baylisascaris devosi Sprent, 1952 (Ascaridoidea, Nematoda), collected from Pine marten (Martes martes) in Iran Meysam Sharifdini1*, Richard A. Heckmann2 and Fattaneh Mikaeili3 Abstract Background: Baylisascaris devosi is an intestinal nematode found in several carnivores including fsher, wolverine, Beech marten, American marten and sable in diferent parts of the world, but this nematode has not been reported from Pine marten. Therefore, this study aimed to identify Baylisascaris isolated from a Pine marten in Iran using mor- phological and molecular approaches. Methods: Specimens of B. devosi were collected from one road-killed Pine marten in northern Iran. Morphological features were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive x-ray analysis and ion sectioning. The molecular characterization was carried out using partial Cox1, LSU rDNA and ITS-rDNA genes. Results: The nematodes isolated from the Pine marten were confrmed to be B. devosi based on the morphological features and the sequence of ribosomal and mitochondrial loci. X-ray scans (EDAX) were completed on gallium cut structures (papillae, eggs, male spike and mouth denticles) of B. devosi using a dual-beam scanning electron micro- scope. The male spike and mouth denticles had a high level of hardening elements (Ca, P, S), helping to explain the chemical nature and morphology of the worm. Based on these genetic marker analyses, our sequence had the great- est similarity with Russian B. devosi isolated from sable. Conclusions: In this study, to our knowledge, the occurrence of B.

  • Pseudosuccinea Columella: Age Resistance to Calicophoron Daubneyi Infection in Two Snail Populations
    Parasite 2015, 22,6 Ó Y.

On day 42 post-exposure (at 23 °C), infected snails were only noted in groups of individuals measuring 1 or 2 mm in height at miracidial exposure. Snail survival in the 2-mm groups was significantly higher than that noted in the 1-mm snails, whatever the geographic origin of snail population. In contrast, prevalence of C. daubneyi infec- tion was significantly greater in the 1-mm groups (15–20% versus 3.4–4.0% in the 2-mm snails). Low values were noted for the mean shell growth of infected snails at their death (3.1–4.0 mm) and the mean number of cercariae (<9 in the 1-mm groups, <19 in the 2-mm snails). No significant differences between snail populations and snails groups were noted for these last two parameters. Most infected snails died after a single cercarial shedding wave.

  • Helminth Parasites (Trematoda, Cestoda, Nematoda, Acanthocephala) of Herpetofauna from Southeastern Oklahoma: New Host and Geographic Records

  • Spread of the West Nile Virus Vector Culex Modestus and the Potential Malaria Vector Anopheles Hyrcanus in Central Europe

A total of 79,245 adults was identified, representing 23 mosquito species that belonged to the genera Anopheles, Culiseta, Coquillettidia, Aedes, and Culex. Our findings reveal that the mosquito fauna is enriched by new elements in the Mediterranean region. Historical and CDC trap data suggest that the newly-emerging potential malaria vector, Anopheles hyrcanus, has reached the northern limit of its distribution in the Czech Republic, and the important West Nile virus (WNV) vector, Culex modestus, has widened its distribution in the Czech Republic. No significant differences were observed in a total number of mosquitoes collected by traps baited with either the sentinel animals or with CO2, although species abundance differed. A relativelyhigher proportion of Cx. modestus was collected in the sentinel-baited traps, while the proportion of Cx. pipiens was higher in the CO2-baited traps.

Kouam Department of Animal Science, Faculty of Agronomy and Agricultural Sciences, Cameroon Center for Research on Filariases and other Tropical Diseases (CRFilMT), Yaoundé, Cameroon Abstract The most common flukes found in sheep in Europe, Asia and Africa are the liver flukes Fasciola spp., Dicrocoelium dentriticum and the rumen fluke Calicophoron daubneyi. The prevalence of F. hepatica in Europe varies among countries (from 47.3 % in Greece, 57.4 % in Spain, and 95% in Italy). Several studies have been conducted in Africa and Asia as concern the prevalence of Fasciola in sheep but limited studies have been done in goats. The prevalence of D. dentriticum in sheep has been reported to be 6.7-86.2% in Italy and to range from 0.2%- to 70% in Greece. The prevalence of D. dentriticum in sheep was found to be 5% in Egypt and 3,85 to 23,55% in Turkey. Only three surveys have been conducted to measure the prevalence of D. dentriticum in goats in the Mediterranean basin indicating a variation from 0.9% to 42.42 %. C. daubneyi is the dominant rumen fluke species in Europe with significant clinical importance in ruminants.

  • Population Structure and Genetic Diversity of Non-Native Aoudad
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Population structure and genetic diversity of non‑native aoudad populations Sunčica Stipoljev1, Toni Safner 2,3*, Pavao Gančević1, Ana Galov 4, Tina Stuhne1, Ida Svetličić4, Stefano Grignolio 5, Jorge Cassinello 6 & Nikica Šprem 1 The aoudad (Ammotragus lervia Pallas 1777) is an ungulate species, native to the mountain ranges of North Africa. In the second half of the twentieth century, it was successfully introduced in some European countries, mainly for hunting purposes, i.e. in Croatia, the Czech Republic, Italy, and Spain. We used neutral genetic markers, the mitochondrial DNA control region sequence and microsatellite loci, to characterize and compare genetic diversity and spatial pattern of genetic structure on diferent timeframes among all European aoudad populations. Four distinct control region haplotypes found in European aoudad populations indicate that the aoudad has been introduced in Europe from multiple genetic sources, with the population in the Sierra Espuña as the only population in which more than one haplotype was detected. The number of detected microsatellite alleles within all populations (< 3.61) and mean proportion of shared alleles within all analysed populations (< 0.55) indicates relatively low genetic variability, as expected for new populations funded by a small number of individuals. In STRU CTU RE results with K = 2–4, Croatian and Czech populations cluster in the same genetic cluster, indicating joined origin. Among three populations from Spain, Almeria population shows as genetically distinct from others in results, while other Spanish populations diverge at K = 4. Maintenance of genetic diversity should be included in the management of populations to sustain their viability, specially for small Czech population with high proportion of shared alleles (0.85) and Croatian population that had the smallest estimated efective population size (Ne = 5.4).

Their presence has been reported across several European countries, including only 13 one larva confirmed in Belgium in 2018. Mosquitoes were collected in the city of Leuven 14 and surroundings in the summer of 2019 and 2020. Species identification was performed 15 based on morphological features and partial sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome 16 oxidase subunit 1 (COI) gene. The 107 mosquitoes collected in 2019 belonged to eight 17 mosquito species: Cx. pipiens (24.3%), Cx.

Previous work has divided eukaryotic diversity into a small number of high-level ‘supergroups’, many of which receive strong support in phylogenomic analyses. However, the abundance of data in phylogenomic analyses can lead to highly supported but incorrect relationships due to systematic phylogenetic error. Further, the paucity of major eukaryotic lineages (19 or fewer) included in these genomic studies may exaggerate systematic error and reduces power to evaluate hypotheses.
