Curran, Ph.D. Department of Coastal Sciences The University of Southern Mississippi Gulf Coast Research Laboratory 703 East Beach Drive Phone: (228) 238-0208 Ocean Springs, MS 39564 Email: [email protected] Research and Teaching Interests: I am an organismal biologist interested in the biodiversity of metazoan parasitic animals. I study their taxonomy using traditional microscopic and histological techniques and their genetic interrelationships and systematics using ribosomal DNA sequences. I also investigate the effects of extrinsic factors on aquatic environments by using parasite prevalence and abundance as a proxy for total biodiversity in aquatic communities and for assessing food web dynamics. I am also interested in the epidemiology of viral diseases of crustaceans.

The Eye Fluke Philophthalmus Hegeneri (Digenea: Philophthalmidae)
Kuwait J. Sci. Eng. 3171) pp. 119-133, 2004 The eye ¯uke Philophthalmus hegeneri Digenea: Philophthalmidae) in Kuwait Bay J. ABDUL-SALAM, B. S. SREELATHA AND H. ASHKANANI Department of Biological Sciences, Kuwait University, P. O. Box 5969, Safat, Kuwait 13060 ABSTRACT The eye ¯uke Philophthalmus hegeneri Penner and Fried, 1963 was reared from cercariae developing in the marine snail Cerithium scabridum in Kuwait Bay. Infected snails released megalurous cercariae which readily encysted in characteristically ¯ask-shaped cysts. Adult ¯ukes were recovered from the ocular orbit of experimentally infected domestic ducklings inoculated with excysted metacercariae. The adult and larval stages of the ¯uke are described and compared with those of the other marine-acquired Philophthalmus species. The metacercaria of the Kuwaiti isolate of P. hegeneri diers from those of an American isolate from Batillaria minima in the Gulf of Mexico in the process of encystment, and metacercarial cyst shape resembles those of P. larsoni from a congeneric snail, C. muscarum, from Florida, suggesting a close relationship. The present record signi®cantly extends the known geographical range of P. hegeneri and implicates a new intermediate host. Keywords: Digenea; Metacercaria; Philophthalmus hegeneri; Cerithium scabridum; Kuwait Bay. INTRODUCTION Members of the genus Philophthalmus Loose, 1899 7Philophthalmidae Travassos, 1918) are widely distributed eye ¯ukes of aquatic birds. The life cycle of Philophthalmus has been established through studies on species utilizing freshwater or marine snails as intermediate host 7Fisher & West 1958, Penner & Fried 1963, Howell & Bearup 1967, McMillan & Macy 1972, Dronen & Penner 1975, Radev et al. 2000). Although more than 36 Philophthalmus species have been reported, only P. -

Four Marine Digenean Parasites of Austrolittorina Spp. (Gastropoda: Littorinidae) in New Zealand: Morphological and Molecular Data
Syst Parasitol (2014) 89:133–152 DOI 10.1007/s11230-014-9515-2 Four marine digenean parasites of Austrolittorina spp. (Gastropoda: Littorinidae) in New Zealand: morphological and molecular data Katie O’Dwyer • Isabel Blasco-Costa • Robert Poulin • Anna Falty´nkova´ Received: 1 July 2014 / Accepted: 4 August 2014 Ó Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2014 Abstract Littorinid snails are one particular group obtained. Phylogenetic analyses were carried out at of gastropods identified as important intermediate the superfamily level and along with the morpholog- hosts for a wide range of digenean parasite species, at ical data were used to infer the generic affiliation of least throughout the Northern Hemisphere. However the species. nothing is known of trematode species infecting these snails in the Southern Hemisphere. This study is the first attempt at cataloguing the digenean parasites Introduction infecting littorinids in New Zealand. Examination of over 5,000 individuals of two species of the genus Digenean trematode parasites typically infect a Austrolittorina Rosewater, A. cincta Quoy & Gaim- gastropod as the first intermediate host in their ard and A. antipodum Philippi, from intertidal rocky complex life-cycles. They are common in the marine shores, revealed infections with four digenean species environment, particularly in the intertidal zone representative of a diverse range of families: Philo- (Mouritsen & Poulin, 2002). One abundant group of phthalmidae Looss, 1899, Notocotylidae Lu¨he, 1909, gastropods in the marine intertidal environment is the Renicolidae Dollfus, 1939 and Microphallidae Ward, littorinids (i.e. periwinkles), which are characteristic 1901. This paper provides detailed morphological organisms of the high intertidal or littoral zone and descriptions of the cercariae and intramolluscan have a global distribution (Davies & Williams, 1998). -
The Trematode Parasites of Marine Mammals
THE TREMATODE PARASITES OF MARINE MAMMALS By Emmett W. Pkice Parasitologist, Zoological Division, Bureau of Animal Industry United States Department of Agriculture The internal parasites of marine mammals have not been exten- sively studied, although a fairly large number of species have been described. In attempting to identify the trematodes from mammals of the orders Cetacea, Pinnipedia, and Sirenia, as represented by specimens in the United States National Museum helminthological collection, it was necessary to review the greater part of the litera- ture dealing with this group of parasitic worms. In view of the fact that there is not in existence a single comprehensive paper on the trematodes of these mammals, and that many of the descrip- tions of species have appeared in publications having more or less limited circulation, the writer has undertaken to assemble descriptions of all trematodes reported from these hosts, with the hope that such a paper may serve a useful purpose in aiding other workers in de- termining specimens at their disposal. In addition to compiling the descriptions of species not available to the writer, two new species, one of which represents a new genus, have been described. Specimens representing 10 of the previously described species have been studied and emendations or additions have been made to the existing descriptions; in a few instances the species have been completely reclescribed. Three species, Distoinwni pallassil Poirier, D. vaUdwim von Lin- stow, and D. am/pidlacewni Buttel-Reepen, have been omitted from this paper despite the fact that they have been reported from ceta- ceans. These species belong in the family Hemiuridae, and since all species of this family are parasites of fishes, the writer feels that their reported occurrence in mammals may be regarded as either errors of some sort or cases of accidental parasitism in which fishes have been eaten by mammals and the fish parasites found in the mammal post-mortem. -
