    Li et al. Parasites & Vectors (2016) 9:497 DOI 10.1186/s13071-016-1785-x RESEARCH Open Access Conservation and diversification of the transcriptomes of adult Paragonimus westermani and P. skrjabini Ben-wen Li1†, Samantha N. McNulty2†, Bruce A. Rosa2, Rahul Tyagi2, Qing Ren Zeng3, Kong-zhen Gu3, Gary J. Weil1 and Makedonka Mitreva1,2* Abstract Background: Paragonimiasis is an important and widespread neglected tropical disease. Fifteen Paragonimus species are human pathogens, but two of these, Paragonimus westermani and P. skrjabini, are responsible for the bulk of human disease. Despite their medical and economic significance, there is limited information on the gene content and expression of Paragonimus lung flukes. Results: The transcriptomes of adult P. westermani and P. skrjabini were studied with deep sequencing technology. Approximately 30 million reads per species were assembled into 21,586 and 25,825 unigenes for P. westermani and P. skrjabini, respectively. Many unigenes showed homology with sequences from other food-borne trematodes, but 1,217 high-confidence Paragonimus-specific unigenes were identified. Analyses indicated that both species have the potential for aerobic and anaerobic metabolism but not de novo fatty acid biosynthesis and that they may interact with host signaling pathways. Some 12,432 P. westermani and P. skrjabini unigenes showed a clear correspondence in bi-directional sequence similarity matches. The expression of shared unigenes was mostly well correlated, but differentially expressed unigenes were identified and shown to be enriched for functions related to proteolysis for P. westermani and microtubule based motility for P. skrjabini. Conclusions: The assembled transcriptomes of P. westermani and P.

S, W, 7, October., 1954. ST COPY AVAILA L Variable print quality Abstract Trenatodes of the genus Renicola from British, birds are described and evidence to show the relationship between these flukes and the "Rhodonotopa" group of cercariae is prosented. The fooding-habits of all of the SPOcies of birds recorded as hosts for Renicola in Western Europe. aro analyzed to give an indication of the probable second intermediate host in the cycle. The ecology of Turritella comunis is discussed and reasons for the relation between infection with sporocysts of the "Rhodometopa" Broup and the size of the snails are suggested. Attempts to infect Turritella connunis with eggs from Renicola sp. are described and the results discussed. The development of the sporocystqof the "Rhodometopat' group of corcariae within the interlobular spaces of the gonad of Turritella communis is described. A novi interpretation of the structure of the sporocyst body- wall is presented. The appearance of a second daughter generation of sporocysts is described. The Sporocysts Historical An examination of some of the literaturo on this stage in the development of trematodos reveals a con- siderable variance of opinion on the structure of sporocysts and the function of various organs and cells found in them. This is possibly due to the fact that most general works refer only to the mother sporoeyst and go into considerably more detail on the structure of rediae than of daughter sporocYsts.

  • Genus : Paragonimus
    Genus : Paragonimus Instructor: Dr R. K. Sharma Assistant professor Department of Veterinary Parasitology Bihar Veterinary College, Patna. Paragonomus : Morphology . Paragonimus vary in size. The adult stage might attain a length up to 15-8 mm. The adult flatworm has an oval shape body with spines covering its thick tegument. Both the oral sucker and acetabulum are round and muscular. The acetabulum is slightly bigger than the oral sucker. Ovaries are located behind the acetabulum and posterior to the ovary are the testes. The seminal receptacle, the uterus and its metra term, the thick- walled terminal part, lie between the acetabulum and the ovary. SOURCE- GOOGLE Paragonimus : Parts of the body Dr.R.K.Sharma Paragonomus : Life cycle . Eggs are excreted in sputum or stool of infected people. In the environment, the eggs develop, hatch into an immature form e.g miracidia, which are ingested by snails. Inside the snail, the miracidia go through several stages to develop into cercariae. which can swim. The cercariae infect crabs or crayfish and form cysts called metacercariae. People are infected when they swallow cysts in raw, undercooked, or pickled freshwater crabs or crayfish. In the intestine, the larvae leave the cyst. The larvae penetrate the wall of the intestine, pass through the diaphragm, and invade the lungs. Where they develop into adults and produce eggs. These eggs are passed in sputum that is coughed up and spit out or swallowed and passed in stool.
