Two hundred fishes were randomly sampled during the period from 6/6/2012 to 14/5/2013 except winter. Our results indicated the presence, for the first time in Syria, of Goussia carpelli infection that causes Coccidiosis in common carp. This parasitic species showed a high specificity to the infected tissue where it was appeared only in the anterior intestine. The results also showed that there was no infection by Goussia subepithelialis that causes Nodular Coccidiosis. Two stages of Coccidia were found, the Merozoites and Macrogametocytes, while the Oocysts were absent. The Goussia carpelli infection was found only in the spring and summer and the prevalence reached (3%), whereas the highest was recorded in the summer (5.4%). Our results showed that the males were more infected than females (17.6% and 1.6% respectively). The fish aged 16 months were the most infected (17.5 cm average length and 95.84g average weight). Our results also showed that there was no infection by Trypanoplasma borreli, Trypanosoma danilewskyi, Hexamita intestinalis.

    3.2.2 Diplomonad (Hexamitid) Flagellates - 1 3.2.2 Diplomonad (Hexamitid) Flagellates: Diplomonadiasis, Hexamitosis, Spironucleosis Sarah L. Poynton Department of Comparative Medicine Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine 1-127 Jefferson Building, Johns Hopkins Hospital 600 North Wolfe Street Baltimore, MD 21287 410/502-5065 fax: 443/287-2954 [email protected] [email protected] A. Name of Disease and Etiological Agent Diplomonadiasis or hexamitosis is infection by diplomonad flagellates (Order Diplomonadida, suborder Diplomonadina, Family Hexamitidae). If the exact genus is known, the infections may be reported as hexamitiasis (Hexamita), octomitosis (Octomitus), or spironucleosis (Spironucleus); of these, probably only the latter is applicable to fish (see below). Infections may be reported as localized (commonly in the intestine, and possibly also including “hole-in-the head disease” of cichlids (Paull and Matthews 2001), or disseminated or systemic (Ferguson and Moccia 1980; Kent et al. 1992; Poppe et al. 1992; Sterud et al. 1998). Light microscopy studies have reported three genera from fish - namely Hexamita, Octomitus, and Spironucleus. However, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is needed to confirm genus (Poynton and Sterud 2002), and light microscopy studies are therefore taxonomically unreliable. If TEM is not available, the organisms should be recorded as diplomonad or hexamitid flagellates. All recent comprehensive ultrastructural studies show only the genus Spironucleus infecting fish, and it is probable that this is the genus to which all diplomonads from fish belong (Poynton and Sterud 2002). Some 15 to 20 species of diplomonads have been reported from fish (Poynton and Sterud 2002). However, most descriptions do not include comprehensive surface and internal ultrastructure and thus are incomplete.

  • Protist Phylogeny and the High-Level Classification of Protozoa
    Europ. J. Protistol. 39, 338–348 (2003) © Urban & Fischer Verlag http://www.urbanfischer.de/journals/ejp Protist phylogeny and the high-level classification of Protozoa Thomas Cavalier-Smith Department of Zoology, University of Oxford, South Parks Road, Oxford, OX1 3PS, UK; E-mail: [email protected] Received 1 September 2003; 29 September 2003. Accepted: 29 September 2003 Protist large-scale phylogeny is briefly reviewed and a revised higher classification of the kingdom Pro- tozoa into 11 phyla presented. Complementary gene fusions reveal a fundamental bifurcation among eu- karyotes between two major clades: the ancestrally uniciliate (often unicentriolar) unikonts and the an- cestrally biciliate bikonts, which undergo ciliary transformation by converting a younger anterior cilium into a dissimilar older posterior cilium. Unikonts comprise the ancestrally unikont protozoan phylum Amoebozoa and the opisthokonts (kingdom Animalia, phylum Choanozoa, their sisters or ancestors; and kingdom Fungi). They share a derived triple-gene fusion, absent from bikonts. Bikonts contrastingly share a derived gene fusion between dihydrofolate reductase and thymidylate synthase and include plants and all other protists, comprising the protozoan infrakingdoms Rhizaria [phyla Cercozoa and Re- taria (Radiozoa, Foraminifera)] and Excavata (phyla Loukozoa, Metamonada, Euglenozoa, Percolozoa), plus the kingdom Plantae [Viridaeplantae, Rhodophyta (sisters); Glaucophyta], the chromalveolate clade, and the protozoan phylum Apusozoa (Thecomonadea, Diphylleida). Chromalveolates comprise kingdom Chromista (Cryptista, Heterokonta, Haptophyta) and the protozoan infrakingdom Alveolata [phyla Cilio- phora and Miozoa (= Protalveolata, Dinozoa, Apicomplexa)], which diverged from a common ancestor that enslaved a red alga and evolved novel plastid protein-targeting machinery via the host rough ER and the enslaved algal plasma membrane (periplastid membrane).

To address this question I have undertaken a molecular phylogenetic study of two candidate lineages to determine the first sexual line. In my thesis the hypermastigotes are confirmed as closely related to the trichomonads in the phylum Parabasalia and found to be more deeply divergent than a putative pyrsonymphid. This means that the Parabasalia are the first sexual lineage. From this I go on to infer that the ancestral sexual cycle included facultative sex.

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.

  • Archezoa and the Origin of Eukaryotes Patrick J
    Problems and paradigms A kingdom’s progress: Archezoa and the origin of eukaryotes Patrick J. Keeling* Summary The taxon Archezoa was proposed to unite a group of very odd eukaryotes that lack many of the characteristics classically associated with nucleated cells, in particular the mitochondrion. The hypothesis was that these cells diverged from other eukaryotes before these characters ever evolved, and therefore they repre- sent ancient and primitive eukaryotic lineages. The kingdom comprised four groups: Metamonada, Microsporidia, Parabasalia, and Archamoebae. Until re- cently, molecular work supported their primitive status, as they consistently branched deeply in eukaryotic phylogenetic trees. However, evidence has now emerged that many Archezoa contain genes derived from the mitochondrial symbiont, revealing that they actually evolved after the mitochondrial symbiosis. In addition, some Archezoa have now been shown to have evolved more recently than previously believed, especially the Microsporidia for which considerable evidence now indicates a relationship with fungi. In summary, the mitochondrial symbiosis now appears to predate all Archezoa and perhaps all presently known eukaryotes. BioEssays 20:87–95, 1998. ௠ 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. INTRODUCTION cyanobacteria and they also lack flagella and basal bodies Prior to the popularization of the endosymbiotic theory, it was (for discussion see Ref. 1). However, according to the widely believed that the evolutionary link between prokary- endosymbiotic theory, the reason photosynthesis is so simi- otes and eukaryotes was the presence of photosynthesis in lar in cyanobacteria and photosynthetic eukaryotes is that cyanobacteria and algae. The biochemistry of oxygenic the plastids of plant and algal cells are derived from a photosynthesis was considered too complicated and too cyanobacterial symbiont.

Pathogenesis and Cell Biology of the Salmon Parasite Spironucleus salmonicida. Digital Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Science and Technology 1785. 70 pp. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. ISBN 978-91-513-0604-9. Spironucleus species are classified as diplomonad organisms, diverse eukaryotic flagellates found in oxygen-deprived environments. Members of Spironucleus are parasitic and can infect a variety of hosts, such as mice and birds, while the majority are found to infect fish. Massive outbreaks of severe systemic infection caused by a Spironucleus member, Spironucleus salmonicida (salmonicida = salmon killer), have been reported in farmed salmonids resulting in large economic impacts for aquaculture. In this thesis, the S. salmonicida genome was sequenced and compared to the genome of its diplomonad relative, the mammalian pathogen G. intestinalis (Paper I). Our analyses revealed large genomic differences between the two parasites that collectively suggests that S. salmonicida is more capable of adapting to different environments. As S. salmonicida can infiltrate different host tissues, we provide molecular evidence for how the parasite can tolerate oxygenated environments and suggest oxygen as a potential regulator of virulence factors (Paper III).

  • The Phylogenetic Position of Enteromonads: a Challenge for the Present Models of Diplomonad Evolution
    International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology (2005), 55, 1729–1733 DOI 10.1099/ijs.0.63542-0 The phylogenetic position of enteromonads: a challenge for the present models of diplomonad evolution Martin Kolisko, Ivan Cepicka, Vladimı´r Hampl, Jaroslav Kulda and Jaroslav Flegr Correspondence Department of Parasitology, Faculty of Science, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic Martin Kolisko [email protected] Unikaryotic enteromonads and diplokaryotic diplomonads have been regarded as closely related protozoan groups. It has been proposed that diplomonads originated within enteromonads in a single event of karyomastigont duplication. This paper presents the first study to address these questions using molecular phylogenetics. The sequences of the small-subunit rRNA genes for three isolates of enteromonads were determined and a tree constructed with available diplomonad, retortamonad and Carpediemonas sequences. The diplomonad sequences formed two main groups, with the genus Giardia on one side and the genera Spironucleus, Hexamita and Trepomonas on the other. The three enteromonad sequences formed a clade robustly situated within the diplomonads, a position inconsistent with the original evolutionary proposal. The topology of the tree indicates either that the diplokaryotic cell of diplomonads arose several times independently, or that the monokaryotic cell of enteromonads originated by secondary reduction from the diplokaryotic state. INTRODUCTION retortamonads constituted a sister clade of the diplomonad

Abstract Background: Glycolysis and subsequent fermentation is the main energy source for many anaerobic organisms. The glycolytic pathway consists of ten enzymatic steps which appear to be universal amongst eukaryotes. However, it has been shown that the origins of these enzymes in specific eukaryote lineages can differ, and sometimes involve lateral gene transfer events.
