It is PARSA’s pleasure to host this event for a third time! For participants who are here for the first time, you are all very welcome and will definitely, as those of us who are attending for a second and third time, discover why we decided to have this congress every three years. For this 3rd ICPOW there are 182 registered participants representing 23 countries, including South Africa. I am convinced that you are all going to thoroughly enjoy the packed programme and the presentations during the three days, especially the three keynote speakers. I think an advantage of the congress is the variety of presentations that include parasites of different groups, different habitats and also the variety of research methods used in studying these parasites. This is the perfect platform to stimulate interest and learn something new, even if it is only out of curiosity. On behalf of all participants I want to thank the local organizing committee chaired by Prof Sonja Matthee and SAVETCON for all their hard work to organize the congress and all accompanying events. I want to urge you to make the most of the opportunity to strengthen existing, and to form new, friendships and collaborations but also to enjoy the tranquil atmosphere of the park and its inhabitants. Hopefully the event will persuade you to diarise it in your calendars as a “not to be missed” congress in future. Hope to see you all again in 2020! Sincerely Susan Dippenaar page 3 3rd International Congress on PARASITES OF WILDLIFE, Kruger National Park, South Africa. 24 – 27 September 2017 Sponsors Thank you to our sponsors for your generous financial support page 4 3rd International Congress on PARASITES OF WILDLIFE, Kruger National Park, South Africa. 24 – 27 September 2017 International Congress on Parasites of Wildlife: A history Based on the recollections of Professor Jo van As In 1991 the local Parasitological Society of Southern Africa (PARSA) hosted the first “International Congress on Parasitology of Wildlife” in Kruger National Park. At that time, South Africa was going through political turmoil and many scientists were isolated and excluded from the international scientific arena. The aim of the meeting was to provide a platform to engage with international scientists. Eighty- three international scientists, from 25 countries, presented 84 orals and numerous posters. Most of these scientists were in some way sponsored by the funds raised by the local organising committee. Professor Leon Fourie (an Elsdon-Dew medal laureate) played a significant role in fund-raising. Delegates started and ended the day with game drives as well as other social gatherings. On one particular evening, Banie Penzhorn there was a spontaneous sing-song event and many delegates could have been even more famous as singers/entertainers than as scientists (this was way before Idols). During September 2014, PARSA hosted the 2nd International Congress on Parasites of Wildlife, in Kruger National Park. This meeting coincided with the 43rd Annual meeting of PARSA. Almost 150 delegates, from 19 countries (including South Africa), attended the meeting. The programme comprised 83 oral and 37 poster presentations. Kerstin Junker from Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute (South Africa), Serge Morand jointly from Centre Christophe Mérieux (Lao PDR) and CIRAD (France) and Ute Mackenstedt from University of Hohenheim (Germany) gave keynote addresses. The days again ended with game drives and informal social events. At the 2014 Claude Comes & Mary Beverly-Burton meeting it was decided that PARSA will continue to host an International Congress on Parasitology of Wildlife every three years, with 2017 identified as the year for the 3rd International Congress on Parasites of Wildlife in Kruger National Park.

Spratt A,C and Ian Beveridge B AAustralian National Wildlife Collection, National Research Collections Australia, CSIRO, GPO Box 1700, Canberra, ACT 2601, Australia. BVeterinary Clinical Centre, Faculty of Veterinary and Agricultural Sciences, University of Melbourne, Werribee, Vic. 3030, Australia. CCorresponding author. Email: [email protected] Abstract. Wildlife parasitology is a highly diverse area of research encompassing many fields including taxonomy, ecology, pathology and epidemiology, and with participants from extremely disparate scientific fields. In addition, the organisms studied are highly dissimilar, ranging from platyhelminths, nematodes and acanthocephalans to insects, arachnids, crustaceans and protists. This review of the parasites of wildlife in Australia highlights the advances made to date, focussing on the work, interests and major findings of researchers over the years and identifies current significant gaps that exist in our understanding. The review is divided into three sections covering protist, helminth and arthropod parasites. The challenge to document the diversity of parasites in Australia continues at a traditional level but the advent of molecular methods has heightened the significance of this issue. Modern methods are providing an avenue for major advances in documenting and restructuring the phylogeny of protistan parasites in particular, while facilitating the recognition of species complexes in helminth taxa previously defined by traditional morphological methods. The life cycles, ecology and general biology of most parasites of wildlife in Australia are extremely poorly understood. While the phylogenetic origins of the Australian vertebrate fauna are complex, so too are the likely origins of their parasites, which do not necessarily mirror those of their hosts.

  • Expansion of Tick-Borne Rickettsioses in the World
    microorganisms Review Expansion of Tick-Borne Rickettsioses in the World Mariusz Piotrowski * and Anna Rymaszewska Institute of Biology, University of Szczecin, 70-453 Szczecin, Poland; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 24 September 2020; Accepted: 25 November 2020; Published: 30 November 2020 Abstract: Tick-borne rickettsioses are caused by obligate intracellular bacteria belonging to the spotted fever group of the genus Rickettsia. These infections are among the oldest known diseases transmitted by vectors. In the last three decades there has been a rapid increase in the recognition of this disease complex. This unusual expansion of information was mainly caused by the development of molecular diagnostic techniques that have facilitated the identification of new and previously recognized rickettsiae. A lot of currently known bacteria of the genus Rickettsia have been considered nonpathogenic for years, and moreover, many new species have been identified with unknown pathogenicity. The genus Rickettsia is distributed all over the world. Many Rickettsia species are present on several continents. The geographical distribution of rickettsiae is related to their vectors. New cases of rickettsioses and new locations, where the presence of these bacteria is recognized, are still being identified. The variety and rapid evolution of the distribution and density of ticks and diseases which they transmit shows us the scale of the problem. This review article presents a comparison of the current understanding of the geographic distribution of pathogenic Rickettsia species to that of the beginning of the century. Keywords: Tick-borne rickettsioses; Tick-borne diseases; Rickettsiales 1. Introduction Tick-borne rickettsioses are caused by obligate intracellular Gram-negative bacteria belonging to the spotted fever group (SFG) of the genus Rickettsia.

In August 2007, in a herd of 30 goats, in the region of Rousse (North Bulgaria), there were observed non-specific clinical signs: reduced appetite, depression, emaciation, lying down, and decreased milk secretion. Despite antibiotic therapy 3 of the goats died. A necropsy was performed and small, yellow-white oval cysts with a white parasite inside were established in liver, lungs and mesenteric lymph nodes. The parasites (total number - 30) were examined microscopically and determined as Pentastomum denticulatum - larval stage of Linguatula serrata. Key Words: Pentastomum denticulatum, Linguatula serrata, pentastomiasis OZET KEÇİLERDE PENTASTOMUM DENTICULATUM İNFEKSİYONU OLGUSU Bu makalede, keçilerde Pentastomum denticulatum infeksiyonu olgusu tanımlanmıştır. 2007 yılının Ağustos ayında, Rusçuk bölgesinde (Kuzey Bulgaristan), 30 keçiden oluşan sürü içinde, iştah azalması, depresyon, aşırı zayıflama, yatma ve süt veriminin azalmasını içeren non-spesifik klinik belirtiler gözlemlendi. Antibiyotik tedavisi yapılmasına rağmen keçilerden üç tanesi öldü. Nekropsilerinde, karaciğer, akciğer ve mezenterik lenf düğümlerinin içinde beyaz parazitleri içeren küçük sarı-beyaz oval kistler görüldü. Parazitler (toplam sayı - 30) mikroskobik olarak incelenerek Linguatula serrata 'nın larva evresindeki Pentastomum denticulatum olarak saptandı.

The dog was presented with mucopurulent/sanguinous nasal discharge, marked left-sided exophthalmia, conjunctival hyperaemia and chemosis. Computed tomography and left frontal sinusotomy revealed no further evidence of adult parasites. In addition, there was no evidence of egg shedding in the nasal secretions or faeces. Clinical signs resolved within 48 hours of sinusotomy, and with systemic broad- spectrum antibiotics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Recommendations are given in this report regarding the management and follow-up of this important zoonotic disease.
