The present knowledge on the following 12 digenean species belonging to the families Opisthorchiidae, Fasciolidae and Dicrocoeliidae is analyzed: Clonorchis sinensis, Opisthorchis feline us, O. viverrini, Fasciola hepa- tica, F. gigantica, Dicrocoelium dendriticum, D. hospes, Eurytrema pancreaticum, Amphimerus pseudofelineus, A. noverca, Pseudamphistomum truncatuin, and Metorchis conjunctus. For each species the following aspects of the parasite and the disease they cause are reviewed: morphology, location and definitive hosts. reports in humans, geographical distribution. life cycle. first intermediate hosts, second intermediate hosts if any, epi- demiology. pathology. symptomatology and clinical manifestations. diagnosis, treatment, and prevention and control.

Accepted 31 August, 2006 The possibility of using garden snail (Limicolaria aurora) meat meal as a protein source in fish feeds was tested in Clarias gariepinus fingerlings. Five isonitrogenous (43% crude protein) diets in which garden snail meat meal was used to replace fish meal at 0%, (control diet), 25, 50, 75 and 100% inclusion levels were used for the study. The fish were fed ad-libitum for 8 weeks. Garden snail meat meal used had a crude protein content of 66.76% and ash content of 4.10%, while crude protein and ash content of fishmeal used were 72.46% and 18.22% dry weight, respectively. The lipid content of garden snail meat meal and fishmeal; 7.85% and 7.97%, respectively, was not significantly different (p≤0.05). The mean weight gain, relative growth and specific growth rates were highest in fish fed 25% garden snail meat meal diet. The best food conversion ratio (1.21) and protein efficiency ratio (3.69) were also recorded in fish fed 25% garden snail meat meal diet. Visceral somatic indices (2.71-17.24%) increased significantly (p≤0.05) with increase in the garden snail meat meal inclusion in the diets.

Geliş Tarihi: 11.09.2018 Kabul Tarihi: 27.05.2019 Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate some endoparasites spread in the Romanov sheep imported from Ukraine. The flotation, sedimentation and Baerman-Wetzel techniques were used to analyze the fecal samples collected from the sheep (n=156) and the samples were examined under the light microscope. Furthermore, from this herd, the internal organs of the sheep that had died were pathologically examined on macroscopic and microscopic level. Among fecal samples examined 69 (44.23%) were found parasitically positive, 66 of these (42.3%) were found positive for Dicrocoelium dentriticum, 3 samples (1.92%) were positive for Nematodirus spp. and Eimeria spp, while Giardia spp. was not detected. The pathological examination of the internal organs of eight of these sheep revealed adult forms of D. dendriticum only in the liver. The parasitological and pathological findings of this study indicated a high incidence of D. dendriticum that causes economic losses due to cases of death, in the Romanov sheep, which has been imported to country in large numbers in recent years.

Forty snails and 10 of each breed of giant African land snails Archachatina marginata (AM), Achatina achatina (AA) and Achatina fulica (AF) and two varieties of A. marginata [A. marginata var. saturalis (AMS) and A. marginata var. ovum (AMO)] were used for the chromosomes numbers analyses. Slides for chromosome identification were prepared using the ovotestes and the cells were examined for spread at metaphase. The haploid (n) chromosome numbers obtained revealed and confirmed that AF,AA, AMS and AMO snails have 27, 30, 28 and 28 chromosomes respectively.

Global production losses due to fasciolosis alone exceed US$3 billion annually. Many trematode infections are also zoonotic and thus a public health concern. The World Health Organisation has estimated that about 56 million people worldwide are infected by at least one zoonotic trematode species and up to 750 million people at risk of infection.

    FLOODPLAIN RIVER FOOD WEBS IN THE LOWER MEKONG BASIN A Dissertation by CHOULY OU Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Kirk O. Winemiller Committee Members, Masami Fujiwara Thomas D. Olszewski Daniel L. Roelke Head of Department, Michael Masser December 2013 Major Subject: Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences Copyright 2013 Chouly Ou ABSTRACT The Mekong River is one of the world’s most important rivers in terms of its size, economic importance, cultural significance, productivity, and biodiversity. The Mekong River’s fisheries and biodiversity are threatened by major hydropower development and over-exploitation. Knowledge of river food web ecology is essential for management of the impacts created by anthropogenic activities on plant and animal populations and ecosystems. In the present study, I surveyed four tropical rivers in Cambodia within the Mekong River Basin. I examined the basal production sources supporting fish biomass in the four rivers during the dry and wet seasons and explored the relationship between trophic position and body size of fish at various taxonomic levels, among local species assemblages, and across trophic guilds. I used stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen to estimate fish trophic levels and the principal primary production sources supporting fishes. My study provides evidence that food web dynamics in tropical rivers undergo significant seasonal shifts and emphasizes that river food webs are altered by dams and flow regulation. Seston and benthic algae were the most important production sources supporting fish biomass during the dry season, and riparian macrophytes appeared to be the most important production source supporting fishes during the wet season.

This study aimed to find the prevalence of opisthorchiasis in various hosts in Udon Thani Province. Total fecal samples were collected from 14,766 participants. The epidemiological data collected and analysed included prevalence and intensity of infection. Odds ratios (OR) were calculated to determine the associations between cross sectional data and to predict possible risk factors. The prevalence of O. viverrini infection in Udon Thani Province averaged 15.3% (eggs per gram (epg.) = 48.9 and range; 12-1,320), with differences between villages (range; 3.8%-79.8%). An age-dependence for infection was observed to increase from ages 25 to 50 years and then decrease for older participants. A univariate analysis identified risk parameters including age (p = 0.040; OR = 3.9 (95% CI = 1.2-7.5)), education (p<0.0001; OR = 7.3 (95% CI = 1.8-21.6)) and eating habits (p = 0.032; OR = 1.6 (95% CI = 0.5-3.7)). Interestingly, most participants were not aware of treatments such as praziquantel (p< 0.0001; OR = 3.5 (95% CI = 1.4-11.6)), had no history of parasitic treatment (p = 0.486; OR = 1.5 (95% CI = 0.5-3.5)) and had eaten raw fish (p = 0.04; OR = 7.4 (95% CI = 1.5-18.6)).
