The species originated from the Far East and eastern Siberia. Besides wild animals, these ectoparasites can attack humans, companion animals, and livestock. These insects may also play a role in transmitting infectious diseases. The objective of this study was to confirm the presence of L. fortisetosa in north-eastern Poland and to characterize the examined population with the use of molecular methods. Deer keds were collected from six natural forests in the region of Warmia and Mazury. DNA of L. fortisetosa was extracted and subjected to molecular studies. Two species of deer keds (Lipoptena cervi and L. fortisetosa) were obtained in each location during field research. There were no differences in the sex distribution of these two ectoparasite species. During the research, more L. cervi than L. fortisetosa specimens were obtained. The studied insects were very closely related to specimens from Lithuania, the Czech Republic, and Japan.

Here, the white-tailed deer Odocoileus virginianus (Zimmermann) and its ectoparasite, the deer ked Lipoptena mazamae Rondani, 1878 (hippoboscid fy), were surveyed for trypanosomes in Venezuela. Results: Haemoculturing unveiled 20% infected WTD, while 47% (7/15) of blood samples and 38% (11/29) of ked guts tested positive for the Megatrypanum-specifc TthCATL-PCR. CATL and SSU rRNA sequences uncovered a single species of trypanosome.

In our analyses, the new species was closest to Trypanosoma sp. D30 from fallow deer (Germany), both nested into TthII alongside other trypanosomes from cervids (North American elk and European fallow, red and sika deer), and bovids (cattle, antelopes and sheep). Insights into the life-cycle of T. trinaper- ronei n. sp. were obtained from early haemocultures of deer blood and co-culture with mammalian and insect cells showing fagellates resembling Megatrypanum trypanosomes previously reported in deer blood, and deer ked guts.

Garrity2,3, Charles T. Parker3, Maria Chuvochina4 and Martha E. Trujillo5 Abstract We here present annotated lists of names of Candidatus taxa of prokaryotes with ranks between subspecies and class, pro- posed between the mid- 1990s, when the provisional status of Candidatus taxa was first established, and the end of 2018. Where necessary, corrected names are proposed that comply with the current provisions of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes and its Orthography appendix. These lists, as well as updated lists of newly published names of Candidatus taxa with additions and corrections to the current lists to be published periodically in the International Journal of Systematic and Evo- lutionary Microbiology, may serve as the basis for the valid publication of the Candidatus names if and when the current propos- als to expand the type material for naming of prokaryotes to also include gene sequences of yet-uncultivated taxa is accepted by the International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes.

    Contribution of the outer surface proteins of Borrelia burgdorferi tos. I.the pathogenesis of Lyme disease O • V AKADEMISK AVHANDLING som för avläggande av doktorsexamen i medicinsk vetenskap vid Umeå Universitet, offentligen kommer att försvaras på engelska språket i föreläsningssalen, byggnad 6L, Institutionen för Mikrobiologi, Umeå Universitet, fredagen den 7 oktober 1994, kl 09.00 av Maria Jonsson Umeå 1994 ABSTRACT Contribution of the outer surface proteins of Borrelia burgdorferi s.to L the pathogenesis of Lyme disease. Maria Jonsson, Department of Microbiology, Umeå University, Sweden. Borrelia burgdorferi s.is aI spirochete which causes the multisystemic disorder Lyme disease. As the borreliae lack toxin production, the pathogenicity is thought to involve, at least in part, molecules from the outer surface. Most Lyme diseaseBorrelia strains express two major outer surface lipoproteins, OspA (31 kD) and OspB (34 kD), on their surface. However, some strains lack the expression of OspA and OspB, but express a smaller 21 to 25 kD OspC protein instead. This thesis focuses on the importance of these proteins in the pathogenesis of Lyme disease. Biochemical and immunochemical studies of the OspA and OspB proteins from strains of various geographic origins show considerable differences in the apparent molecular weights and in their reactivities to monoclonal antibodies. The cloning and sequencing of the ospAB opérons from strains of different origins has demonstrated that the heterogeneity is found also at the DNA level Comparison of theospAB sequences allows the classification of the strains into three types, which coincide with the recent species designations, B. burgdorferi sensu stricto, B. afzelii and B.

  • Vector-Borne Disease Dynamics in Alabama White-Tailed Deer
    Vector-Borne Disease Dynamics of Alabama White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) by Shelby Lynn Zikeli A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science Auburn, Alabama August 4, 2018 Keywords: Disease ecology, arbovectors, ectoparasites, white-tailed deer Copyright 2018 by Shelby Lynn Zikeli Approved by Dr. Sarah Zohdy, School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences (Chair) Dr. Stephen Ditchkoff, School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences Dr. Robert Gitzen, School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences Dr. Chengming Wang, Auburn School of Veterinary Medicine Abstract Understanding long-term dynamics of ectoparasite populations on hosts is essential to mapping the potential transmission of disease causing agents and pathogens. Blood feeding ectoparasites such as ticks, lice and keds have a great capability to transmit pathogens throughout a wildlife system. Here, we use a semi-wild white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) population in an enclosed facility to better understand the role of high-density host populations with improved body conditions in facilitating parasite dynamics. As definitive hosts and breeding grounds for arthropods that may transmit blood-borne pathogens, this population may also be used as a sentinel system of pathogens in the ecosystem. This also mimics systems where populations are fragmented due to human encroachment or through specialized management techniques. We noted a significant increase in ectoparasitism by ticks (p=0.04) over a nine-year study period where deer were collected, and ticks quantified. Beginning in 2016 we implemented a comparison of quantification methods for ectoparasites in addition to ticks and noted that white-tailed deer within the enclosure were more likely to be parasitized by the neotropical deer ked (Lipoptena mazamae) than any tick or louse species.

  • AQPX-Cluster Aquaporins and Aquaglyceroporins Are
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s42003-021-02472-9 OPEN AQPX-cluster aquaporins and aquaglyceroporins are asymmetrically distributed in trypanosomes ✉ ✉ Fiorella Carla Tesan 1,2, Ramiro Lorenzo 3, Karina Alleva 1,2,4 & Ana Romina Fox 3,4 Major Intrinsic Proteins (MIPs) are membrane channels that permeate water and other small solutes. Some trypanosomatid MIPs mediate the uptake of antiparasitic compounds, placing them as potential drug targets. However, a thorough study of the diversity of these channels is still missing. Here we place trypanosomatid channels in the sequence-function space of the large MIP superfamily through a sequence similarity network. This analysis exposes that trypanosomatid aquaporins integrate a distant cluster from the currently defined MIP 1234567890():,; families, here named aquaporin X (AQPX). Our phylogenetic analyses reveal that trypano- somatid MIPs distribute exclusively between aquaglyceroporin (GLP) and AQPX, being the AQPX family expanded in the Metakinetoplastina common ancestor before the origin of the parasitic order Trypanosomatida. Synteny analysis shows how African trypanosomes spe- cifically lost AQPXs, whereas American trypanosomes specifically lost GLPs. AQPXs diverge from already described MIPs on crucial residues. Together, our results expose the diversity of trypanosomatid MIPs and will aid further functional, structural, and physiological research needed to face the potentiality of the AQPXs as gateways for trypanocidal drugs. 1 Universidad de Buenos Aires, Facultad de Farmacia y Bioquímica, Departamento de Fisicomatemática, Cátedra de Física, Buenos Aires, Argentina. 2 CONICET-Universidad de Buenos Aires, Instituto de Química y Fisicoquímica Biológicas (IQUIFIB), Buenos Aires, Argentina. 3 Laboratorio de Farmacología, Centro de Investigación Veterinaria de Tandil (CIVETAN), (CONICET-CICPBA-UNCPBA) Facultad de Ciencias Veterinarias, Universidad Nacional del Centro ✉ de la Provincia de Buenos Aires, Tandil, Argentina.
