KHAN1 AND A. J. PAUL2 1 Department of Biology and Ocean Sciences Centre, Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada A1C 5S7 and 2 Seward Marine Center, University of Alaska, Seward, Alaska 99664 ABSTRACT: This study provides further information on the life cycles of 6 piscicolid leeches inhabiting the arcto-boreal region of the northwestern Atlantic and northeastern Pacific oceans. Four species including Pla- tybdella olriki, Platybdella anarrhichae, Oceanobdella sexoculata, and Johanssonia arctica inhabit the Atlantic primarily, but Notostomum (Notostomobdelld) = cyclostomum and Beringbdella rectangulata have been recorded only from the Pacific. Some species (P. olriki, J. arctica, N. cyclostomum, and possibly B. rectangulata) deposit their cocoons on decapod crustaceans and a pycnogonid, whereas others (O. sexoculata and P. anarrhichae) utilize the eggs of host fish. Newly hatched leeches can readily locate their hosts that hatch simultaneously. It appears that 3 species, namely, P. olriki, P. anarrhichae, and O. sexoculata, have annual life cycles, whereas others such as /. arctica, N. cyclostomum, and B. rectangulata live more than 1 yr. The life cycle strategies, which include sites of cocoon deposition and host preferences, ensure that their progeny will successfully locate new hosts after emergence.

Heckmann2 and Fattaneh Mikaeili3 Abstract Background: Baylisascaris devosi is an intestinal nematode found in several carnivores including fsher, wolverine, Beech marten, American marten and sable in diferent parts of the world, but this nematode has not been reported from Pine marten. Therefore, this study aimed to identify Baylisascaris isolated from a Pine marten in Iran using mor- phological and molecular approaches. Methods: Specimens of B. devosi were collected from one road-killed Pine marten in northern Iran. Morphological features were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive x-ray analysis and ion sectioning. The molecular characterization was carried out using partial Cox1, LSU rDNA and ITS-rDNA genes. Results: The nematodes isolated from the Pine marten were confrmed to be B. devosi based on the morphological features and the sequence of ribosomal and mitochondrial loci. X-ray scans (EDAX) were completed on gallium cut structures (papillae, eggs, male spike and mouth denticles) of B. devosi using a dual-beam scanning electron micro- scope. The male spike and mouth denticles had a high level of hardening elements (Ca, P, S), helping to explain the chemical nature and morphology of the worm. Based on these genetic marker analyses, our sequence had the great- est similarity with Russian B. devosi isolated from sable. Conclusions: In this study, to our knowledge, the occurrence of B.

    Nagae et al. BMC Ecol Evo (2021) 21:120 BMC Ecology and Evolution https://doi.org/10.1186/s12862-021-01851-4 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Symbiosis of the millipede parasitic nematodes Rhigonematoidea and Thelastomatoidea with evolutionary diferent origins Seiya Nagae1, Kazuki Sato2, Tsutomu Tanabe3 and Koichi Hasegawa1* Abstract Background: How various host–parasite combinations have been established is an important question in evolution- ary biology. We have previously described two nematode species, Rhigonema naylae and Travassosinema claudiae, which are parasites of the xystodesmid millipede Parafontaria laminata in Aichi Prefecture, Japan. Rhigonema naylae belongs to the superfamily Rhigonematoidea, which exclusively consists of parasites of millipedes. T. claudiae belongs to the superfamily Thelastomatoidea, which includes a wide variety of species that parasitize many invertebrates. These nematodes were isolated together with a high prevalence; however, the phylogenetic, evolutionary, and eco- logical relationships between these two parasitic nematodes and between hosts and parasites are not well known. Results: We collected nine species (11 isolates) of xystodesmid millipedes from seven locations in Japan, and found that all species were co-infected with the parasitic nematodes Rhigonematoidea spp. and Thelastomatoidea spp. We found that the infection prevalence and population densities of Rhigonematoidea spp. were higher than those of Thelastomatoidea spp. However, the population densities of Rhigonematoidea spp. were not negatively afected by co-infection with Thelastomatoidea spp., suggesting that these parasites are not competitive. We also found a positive correlation between the prevalence of parasitic nematodes and host body size. In Rhigonematoidea spp., combina- tions of parasitic nematode groups and host genera seem to be fxed, suggesting the evolution of a more specialized interaction between Rhigonematoidea spp.

Most of the studied birds belong to Passeriformes and Charadriiformes orders. One of the studied species of birds (Larus armenicus) is an endemic. The taxonomy and host-specificity of nematodes reported in original papers are discussed with a regard to current knowledge about this point. In total, 52 nematode species parasitizing birds in Armenia are reported. Most of the reported species of nematodes are quite common in birds outside of Armenia. One species (Desmidocercella incognita from great cormorant) was first identified in Armenia.

Fayzulin1 1Institute of Ecology of the Volga River Basin, Russian Academy of Sciences, Togliatti, Russia 2Mordovia State Nature Reserve and National Park «Smolny», Saransk, Russia. *Correspondence: [email protected] Received: Febrary 2019; Accepted: July 2019; Published: August 2019. ABSTRACT Objetive. Present a modern review of the nematodes fauna of the pool frog Pelophylax lessonae (Camerano, 1882) from Volga basin populations on the basis of our own research and literature sources analysis. Materials and methods. Present work consolidates data from different helminthological works over the past 80 years, supported by our own research results. During the period from 1936 to 2016 different authors examined 1460 specimens of pool frog, using the method of full helminthological autopsy, from 13 regions of the Volga basin. Results. In total 9 nematodes species were recorded. Nematode Icosiella neglecta found for the first time in the studied host from the territory of Russia and Volga basin. Three species appeared to be more widespread: Oswaldocruzia filiformis, Cosmocerca ornata and Icosiella neglecta. For each helminth species the following information included: systematic position, areas of detection, localization, biology, list of definitive hosts, the level of host-specificity. Conclusions. Nematodes of pool frog, excluding I. neglecta, belong to the group of soil-transmitted helminthes (geohelminth) and parasitize in adult stages. Some species (O. filiformis, C. ornata, I. neglecta) are widespread in the host range.

Bataillon, F-34095 Montpellier, Cedex 5, France ABSTRACT: Dactylogyrids from Labeo parvus Boulenger, 1902, L. alluaudi Pellegrin, 1933, and L. rouaneti, Daget, 1962, were studied in Atlantic coastal basins in West Africa. Nine species (6 new) of Dactylogyridae were found: Dactylogyrus longiphallus Paperaa, 1973, D. falcilocus Guegan, Lambert, and Euzet, 1988, and Dogielius kabaensis sp. n. from L. parvus populations in coastal rivers of Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia; Dactylogyrus longiphalloides sp. n. and Dogielius kabaensis sp. n. from L. alluaudi in the river Bagbwe in Sierra Leone; Dactylogyrus sematus sp. n., D. jucundus sp. n., D. omega sp. n., and Dogielius rosumplicatus sp. n. from L. rouaneti in the Konkoure system in Guinea. Dactylogyrus brevicirrus Paperna, 1973, characteristic of L. parvus in the large Sahel-Sudan basins, was not found in coastal rivers of Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia. Labeo alluaudi from the rivers Cavally and Nipoue in Cote d'lvoire and Liberia were not parasitized. Comparison of branchial monogeneans in different populations of L. parvus in West Africa shows that there are 2 host groups. The first consists of host populations in Guinean coastal basins, characterized by Dactylogyrus longiphallus, D. falcilocus, and Dogielius kabaensis sp. n. The second comprises the other populations in adjacent basins, marked by Dactylogyrus brevicirrus, whose presence is interpreted as a host switching.
