    Bull. Mus. nain. Hist. nat., Paris, 4' sér., 11, 1989, section A, n° 2 : 349-365. Two new species of Eimeria and three new species of Isospora (Apicomplexa, Eimeriidae) from Brazilian mammals and birds by R. LAINSON and J. J. SHAW Abstract. — Thirteen " four-eyed opossums ", Philander o. opossum, from Para State, north Brazil, were examined for coccidial oocysts in faecal samples. Five were infected with an eimerian, considered a new species, 2 with an isosporan which is possibly /. boughtoni Volk, and 2 with both thèse parasites. Oocysts of Eimeria philanderi n. sp., are spherical to subspherical and average 23.50 x 22.38 (21.25- 27.50 x 18.75-25.00) (xm : single polar body : no oocyst residuum. Oocyst wall 1.88 [ira, with mamillated surface and composed of two striated layers, the inner brown-yellow and the outer colourless : no micropyle. Sporocysts average 11.35 x 8.13 (10.00-12.00 x 7.50-8.75) (xm, oval to ellipsoidal, with prominent nipple-like Stieda body : residuum bulky, compact or scattered between two recurved sporozoites. Oocysts of the Isospora sp., close to /. boughtoni initially sub-spherical, 17.92 x 16.53 (16.25- 20.00 x 13.75-18.75) (xm : latterly deformed by collapse of the délicate, colourless wall : no micropyle, oocyst residuum or polar body.

Hammondia heydorni, H. hammondi, Toxoplasma gondii, Neospora hughesi and N. caninum (Hammondia-like organisms) are closely related tissue cyst-forming coccidians that belong to the subfamily Toxoplasmatinae. The phylogenetic reconstruction using cytoplasmic Hsp70 coding genes of Hammondia-like organisms revealed the genetic sequences of T. gondii, Neospora spp. and H. heydorni to possess similar levels of evolutionary distance. In addition, at least 2 distinct genetic groups could be recognized among the H. heydorni isolates. Such results are in agreement with those obtained with internal transcribed spacer-1 rDNA (ITS-1) sequences. In order to compare the nucleotide diversity among different taxonomic levels within Apicomplexa, Hsp70 coding sequences of the following apicomplexan organisms were included in this study: Cryptosporidium, Theileria, Babesia, Plasmodium and Cyclospora.

This novel coccidian is unusual because it develops extra-intestinally and sporulates endogenously within the prostate gland of its mammalian host. Histological examination of prostatic tissue revealed dense aggregations of spherical and thin-walled tetrasporocystic, dizoic sporulated coccidian oocysts within tubular lumina, with unsporulated oocysts and gamogonic stages within the cytoplasm of glandular epithelial cells. This coccidian was observed occurring concurrently with dasyurid herpesvirus 1 infection of the antechinus' prostate. Eimeria- specific 18S small subunit ribosomal DNA PCR amplification was used to obtain a partial 18S rDNA nucleotide sequence from the antechinus coccidian.

  • Demographic and Reproductive Associations with Nematode Infection in a Long-Lived Mammal Carly L
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Demographic and reproductive associations with nematode infection in a long-lived mammal Carly L. Lynsdale1 ✉ , Nay Oo Mon2, Diogo J. Franco dos Santos3, Htoo Htoo Aung4, U Kyaw Nyein4, Win Htut4, Dylan Childs3 & Virpi Lummaa1 Infection by macroparasites, such as nematodes, varies within vertebrate host systems; elevated infection is commonly observed in juveniles and males, and, for females, with diferent reproductive states. However, while such patterns are widely recognized in short-lived model systems, how they apply to long-lived hosts is comparatively understudied. Here, we investigated how infection varies with host age, sex, and female reproduction in a semi-captive population of individually marked Asian elephants Elephas maximus. We carried out 1,977 faecal egg counts (FECs) across fve years to estimate nematode loads for 324 hosts. Infection patterns followed an established age-infection curve, whereby calves (5 years) exhibited the highest FECs and adults (45 years) the lowest. However, males and females had similar FECs across their long lifespan, despite distinct diferences in life-history strategy and clear sexual dimorphism. Additionally, although mothers invest two years in pregnancy and a further three to fve years into lactation, nematode load did not vary with four diferent measures of female reproduction. Our results provide a much-needed insight into the host-parasite dynamics of a long-lived host; determining host-specifc associations with infection in such systems is important for broadening our knowledge of parasite ecology and provides practical applications for wildlife medicine and management. One of the most recurrent patterns in parasite ecology is that parasites are aggregated within host populations, meaning that the majority of parasites are observed within the minority of hosts1–3.

  • SR-109: Strongyles in Horses
    AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE, FOOD AND ENVIRONMENT, LEXINGTON, KY, 40546 SR-109 Strongyles in Horses Update 2015 E.T. Lyons and S.C. Tolliver, Veterinary Science Introduction Parasites live in a host from which they obtain food and pro- tection. They may harm but usu- ally do not benefit the host.

  • On Three Monotypic Nursery Web Spider Genera from Madagascar

CRUZ DA SILVA & PETRA SIERWALD Division of Insects, Field Museum of Natural History, 1400 S Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, IL, 60605, USA. E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] With 333 described species, the Pisauridae is a moderately species-rich spider family. The family is world wide in distribution and its members exhibit an exceptionally wide range of foraging and prey capture behavior, from web- based hunters, water surface hunters to ambusher hunters in the vegetation. While some pisaurid genera are diverse, boasting numerous species, such as Dolomedes with 96 described species, nearly half of pisaurid genera (22/48) are monotypic (Platnick 2013). Recent collecting and biodiversity research has uncovered several new species, especially from heretofore poorly collected regions in Africa (including Madagascar) and Asia (e.g. Jaeger 2011, Jocqué 1994). Initial steps have been undertaken to develop a phylogenetic framework for parts of the family, e.g., Sierwald 1987; Santos 2007. However, no phylogenetic analysis exists that includes a representatively wide range of genera. The clade Pisaurinae (see Sierwald 1997) appears to be well supported by morphological characters, while the relationships among non-pisaurine genera remain uncertain.
