FONT2 Department of Biological Sciences, Southeastern Louisiana University, Hammond, Louisiana 70402, U.S.A. (2 e-mail: [email protected]) ABSTRACT: Because assumptions of strict host specificity and geographic isolation apparently have been used as criteria in determining species of Oochoristica, studies were conducted to address the effects that these assumptions could have on resolving the taxonomy of Oochoristica. Experimental infections of native fence lizards, Sceloporus undulatus imdulatus, and Indo-Pacific geckos, Hemidactylus garnotii, demonstrated that the exotic tapeworm Oochoristica javaensis lacked host specificity. In addition, tapeworms with gravid proglottids, a stage of development that has not been previously reported for any species of Oochoristica, were obtained from both hosts. Evidence against the assumption of geographic isolation stems from the fact that lizard species known to harbor Oochoristica spp. have been introduced beyond their native ranges, and in some cases, these introductions predate the species descriptions. Lack of support for either assumption indicates a need for more rigorous analyses and experimentation to determine species of Oochoristica.

    The Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases ISSN 1678-9199 | 2010 | volume 16 | issue 4 | pages 543-572 Checklist of helminths from lizards and amphisbaenians (Reptilia, Squamata) of South America TICLE R A Ávila RW (1), Silva RJ (1) EVIEW R (1) Department of Parasitology, Botucatu Biosciences Institute, São Paulo State University (UNESP – Univ Estadual Paulista), Botucatu, São Paulo State, Brazil. Abstract: A comprehensive and up to date summary of the literature on the helminth parasites of lizards and amphisbaenians from South America is herein presented. One-hundred eighteen lizard species from twelve countries were reported in the literature harboring a total of 155 helminth species, being none acanthocephalans, 15 cestodes, 20 trematodes and 111 nematodes. Of these, one record was from Chile and French Guiana, three from Colombia, three from Uruguay, eight from Bolivia, nine from Surinam, 13 from Paraguay, 12 from Venezuela, 27 from Ecuador, 17 from Argentina, 39 from Peru and 103 from Brazil. The present list provides host, geographical distribution (with the respective biome, when possible), site of infection and references from the parasites. A systematic parasite-host list is also provided. Key words: Cestoda, Nematoda, Trematoda, Squamata, neotropical. INTRODUCTION The present checklist summarizes the diversity of helminths from lizards and amphisbaenians Parasitological studies on helminths that of South America, providing a host-parasite list infect squamates (particularly lizards) in South with localities and biomes. America had recent increased in the past few years, with many new records of hosts and/or STUDIED REGIONS localities and description of several new species (1-3).

Du Preez1,2*, Mathieu Badets1, Laurent Héritier1,3,4 and Olivier Verneau1,3,4 Abstract Background: Polystomatid flatworms in chelonians are divided into three genera, i.e. Polystomoides Ward, 1917, Polystomoidella Price, 1939 and Neopolystoma Price, 1939, according to the number of haptoral hooks. Among the about 55 polystome species that are known to date from the 327 modern living chelonians, only four species of Polystomoides are currently recognised within the 45 South American freshwater turtles. Methods: During 2012, several sites in the vicinity of the cities Cayenne and Kaw in French Guiana were investigated for freshwater turtles. Turtles were collected at six sites and the presence of polystomatid flatworms was assessed from the presence of polystome eggs released by infected specimens. Results: Among the three turtle species that were collected, no polystomes were found in the gibba turtle Mesoclemmys gibba (Schweigger, 1812). The spot-legged turtle Rhinoclemmys punctularia (Daudin, 1801) was infected with two species of Neopolystoma Price, 1939, one in the conjunctival sacs and the other in the urinary bladder, while the scorpion mud turtle Kinosternon scorpioides (Linnaeus, 1766) was found to be infected with a single Neopolystoma species in the conjunctival sacs. These parasites could be distinguished from known species of Neopolystoma by a combination of morphological characteristics including body size, number and length of genital spines, shape and size of the testis.

Nguyen4 Received: 20 November 2018 /Accepted: 16 July 2019 /Published online: 3 August 2019 # Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2019 Abstract Intraspecific variation of Parasaccocoelium mugili collected from mullet fish of the south of Russian Far East and Vietnam has previously been estimated on the basis of two molecular markers: ribosomal internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) rDNA and mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene sequences. In the present study, molecular identification of this species from the Kievka River, Primorye and from Vietnam was performed by analysis of 28S rDNA sequences. Analysis of ITS1 rDNA sequences variation revealed two highly differentiated main groups, representing trematode specimens from the two regions. Genetic variation within each region was relatively low. Mitochondrial COI gene sequence data analysis revealed fixed nucle- otide and amino acid substitutions, and supported the existence of two genetically different groups associated with geographical origin. Analysis of the COI gene fragments showed extremely high variation within Russian and Vietnamese P. mugili samples. Our results for P. mugili most probably represent a case of initial step of allopotric speciation for this trematode, caused by living strategy of its definitive host at evolutionary scale. Mitochondrial DNA sequence data show that existence of gene flow between local populations of P.

    Husbandry Guidelines Broad-Headed Snake Hoplocephalus bungaroides Compiler – Charles Morris Western Sydney Institute of TAFE, Richmond Captive Animals Certificate III RUV3020R Lecturers: Graeme Phipps, Jacki Salkeld & Brad Walker 2009 1 Occupational Health and Safety WARNING This Snake is DANGEROUSLY VENOMOUS CAPABLE OF INFLICTING A POTENTIALLY FATAL BITE ALWAYS HAVE A COMPRESSION BANDAGE WITHIN REACH SNAKE BITE TREATMENT: Do NOT wash the wound. Do NOT cut the wound, apply substances to the wound or use a tourniquet. Do NOT remove jeans or shirt as any movement will assist the venom to enter the blood stream. KEEP THE VICTIM STILL. 1. Apply a broad pressure bandage over the bite site as soon as possible. 2. Keep the limb still. The bandage should be as tight as you would bind a sprained ankle. 3. Extend the bandage down to the fingers or toes then up the leg as high as possible. (For a bite on the hand or forearm bind up to the elbow). 4. Apply a splint if possible, to immobilise the limb. 5. Bind it firmly to as much of the limb as possible. (Use a sling for an arm injury). Bring transport to the victim where possible or carry them to transportation. Transport the victim to the nearest hospital. Please Print this page off and put it up on the wall in your snake room. 2 There is some serious occupational health risks involved in keeping venomous snakes. All risk can be eliminated if kept clean and in the correct lockable enclosures with only the risk of handling left in play.

Neoechillorhynchus pimelodi sp.n. is described as the first record of Acanthocephala in Pimelodlls macula/lIs Lacépéde, 1803, collected in the São Fran­ cisco ri ver, Três Marias, Minas Gerais. The new spec ies is distinguished from other of the genus by lhe lhree circles of hooks of different sizes, and by lhe eggs measurements. The hooks measuring 100- 112 (105), 32-40 (36) and 20-27 (23) in length in lhe males and 102-1 42 (129), 34-55 (47) and 27-35 (29) in lenglh in lhe fema les for the anterior, middle and posterior circles. The eggs measuring 15-22 (18) in length and 12- 15 ( 14) in width, with concentric layers oftexture smooth, enveloping lhe acanthor. KEY WORDS.
