Wildlife Parasitology in Australia: Past, Present and Future
CSIRO PUBLISHING Australian Journal of Zoology, 2018, 66, 286–305 Review https://doi.org/10.1071/ZO19017 Wildlife parasitology in Australia: past, present and future David M. Spratt A,C and Ian Beveridge B AAustralian National Wildlife Collection, National Research Collections Australia, CSIRO, GPO Box 1700, Canberra, ACT 2601, Australia. BVeterinary Clinical Centre, Faculty of Veterinary and Agricultural Sciences, University of Melbourne, Werribee, Vic. 3030, Australia. CCorresponding author. Email: [email protected] Abstract. Wildlife parasitology is a highly diverse area of research encompassing many fields including taxonomy, ecology, pathology and epidemiology, and with participants from extremely disparate scientific fields. In addition, the organisms studied are highly dissimilar, ranging from platyhelminths, nematodes and acanthocephalans to insects, arachnids, crustaceans and protists. This review of the parasites of wildlife in Australia highlights the advances made to date, focussing on the work, interests and major findings of researchers over the years and identifies current significant gaps that exist in our understanding. The review is divided into three sections covering protist, helminth and arthropod parasites. The challenge to document the diversity of parasites in Australia continues at a traditional level but the advent of molecular methods has heightened the significance of this issue. Modern methods are providing an avenue for major advances in documenting and restructuring the phylogeny of protistan parasites in particular, while facilitating the recognition of species complexes in helminth taxa previously defined by traditional morphological methods. The life cycles, ecology and general biology of most parasites of wildlife in Australia are extremely poorly understood. While the phylogenetic origins of the Australian vertebrate fauna are complex, so too are the likely origins of their parasites, which do not necessarily mirror those of their hosts. -

The dog was presented with mucopurulent/sanguinous nasal discharge, marked left-sided exophthalmia, conjunctival hyperaemia and chemosis. Computed tomography and left frontal sinusotomy revealed no further evidence of adult parasites. In addition, there was no evidence of egg shedding in the nasal secretions or faeces. Clinical signs resolved within 48 hours of sinusotomy, and with systemic broad- spectrum antibiotics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Recommendations are given in this report regarding the management and follow-up of this important zoonotic disease. -

It has a zoonotic importance to humans either by ingestion of nymphs (nasopharyngeal linguatulosis) or by ingestion of eggs (visceral linguatulosis). This study aimed to record the prevalence rate of this zoonotic parasite in camels and goats as well as experimental infestation of dogs to collect and identify the adults male and female as well as eggs. Four hundred slaughtered camels and goats (200 Goats, 200 Camels) were inspected from Cairo abattoir, of different sex and age at the period of January to December 2015. One hundred donkeys were also inspected on postmortem examination for infestation with L. serrata nymphs from slaughterhouse at Giza zoo, Egypt. Fecal samples, nasal swab were collected from 150 stray dogs for coprological detection of natural infestation with adult L. -

Zoonotic Parasites of Dromedary Camels: So Important, So Ignored Alireza Sazmand1* , Anja Joachim2 and Domenico Otranto1,3
Sazmand et al. Parasites Vectors (2019) 12:610 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13071-019-3863-3 Parasites & Vectors REVIEW Open Access Zoonotic parasites of dromedary camels: so important, so ignored Alireza Sazmand1* , Anja Joachim2 and Domenico Otranto1,3 Abstract With a global population of about 35 million in 47 countries, dromedary camels play a crucial role in the economy of many marginal, desert areas of the world where they survive under harsh conditions. Nonetheless, there is scarce knowledge regarding camelsʼ parasite fauna which can reduce their milk and meat productions. In addition, only scattered information is available about zoonotic parasites transmitted to humans via contamination (e.g. Crypto- sporidium spp., Giardia duodenalis, Balantidium coli, Blastocystis spp. and Enterocytozoon bieneusi), as foodborne infections (e.g. Toxoplasma gondii, Trichinella spp. and Linguatula serrata) or by arthropod vectors (Trypanosoma spp.). Herein, we draw attention of the scientifc community and health policy-making organizations to the role camels play in the epidemiology of parasitic zoonotic diseases also in the view of an increase in their farming in desert areas worldwide.

Breve caracterización del grupo y principales caracteres diagnósticos 1.1. Introducción. Posición filogenética de los Pentastomida Los Pentastomida son un grupo enigmático de gusanos parásitos parecidos a los artrópodos pero que carecen de sus apomorfías, y deben por tanto situarse fuera de Arthropoda en sentido estricto (o euartró- podos), como otros filums menores como Onychophora, Tardigrada, y Myzostomida. No son crustáceos, ya que sus patas no están estructuradas con un basipodito proximal de la que se originen dos ramas (endopodito y exopodito). Tampoco tienen larvas nadadoras de vida libre, como la larva nauplius o zoeae de los crustáceos. Tampoco se pueden considerar euartrópodos debido a la ausencia de antenas seg- mentadas en la cabeza. Almeida et al. (2008) los sitúan en el clado Mysopharyngea de los Ecdysozoa, junto a Tardigrada y los nematelmintos. Datos moleculares y de la ultraestructura del esperma los sitúan como crustáceos braquiuros degenerados. Pero la ausencia de
