Demographic and Reproductive Associations with Nematode Infection in a Long-Lived Mammal Carly L
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Demographic and reproductive associations with nematode infection in a long-lived mammal Carly L. Lynsdale1 ✉ , Nay Oo Mon2, Diogo J. Franco dos Santos3, Htoo Htoo Aung4, U Kyaw Nyein4, Win Htut4, Dylan Childs3 & Virpi Lummaa1 Infection by macroparasites, such as nematodes, varies within vertebrate host systems; elevated infection is commonly observed in juveniles and males, and, for females, with diferent reproductive states. However, while such patterns are widely recognized in short-lived model systems, how they apply to long-lived hosts is comparatively understudied. Here, we investigated how infection varies with host age, sex, and female reproduction in a semi-captive population of individually marked Asian elephants Elephas maximus. We carried out 1,977 faecal egg counts (FECs) across fve years to estimate nematode loads for 324 hosts. Infection patterns followed an established age-infection curve, whereby calves (5 years) exhibited the highest FECs and adults (45 years) the lowest. However, males and females had similar FECs across their long lifespan, despite distinct diferences in life-history strategy and clear sexual dimorphism. Additionally, although mothers invest two years in pregnancy and a further three to fve years into lactation, nematode load did not vary with four diferent measures of female reproduction. Our results provide a much-needed insight into the host-parasite dynamics of a long-lived host; determining host-specifc associations with infection in such systems is important for broadening our knowledge of parasite ecology and provides practical applications for wildlife medicine and management. One of the most recurrent patterns in parasite ecology is that parasites are aggregated within host populations, meaning that the majority of parasites are observed within the minority of hosts1–3. -
The Mitochondrial Genome of the Soybean Cyst Nematode, Heterodera Glycines
565 The mitochondrial genome of the soybean cyst nematode, Heterodera glycines Tracey Gibson, Daniel Farrugia, Jeff Barrett, David J. Chitwood, Janet Rowe, Sergei Subbotin, and Mark Dowton Abstract: We sequenced the entire coding region of the mitochondrial genome of Heterodera glycines. The sequence ob- tained comprised 14.9 kb, with PCR evidence indicating that the entire genome comprised a single, circular molecule of ap- proximately 21–22 kb. The genome is the most T-rich nematode mitochondrial genome reported to date, with T representing over half of all nucleotides on the coding strand. The genome also contains the highest number of poly(T) tracts so far reported (to our knowledge), with 60 poly(T) tracts ≥ 12 Ts. All genes are transcribed from the same mitochon- drial strand. The organization of the mitochondrial genome of H. glycines shows a number of similarities compared with Ra- dopholus similis, but fewer similarities when compared with Meloidogyne javanica. Very few gene boundaries are shared with Globodera pallida or Globodera rostochiensis. Partial mitochondrial genome sequences were also obtained for Hetero- dera cardiolata (5.3 kb) and Punctodera chalcoensis (6.8 kb), and these had identical organizations compared with H. gly- cines. We found PCR evidence of a minicircular mitochondrial genome in P. chalcoensis, but at low levels and lacking a noncoding region. Such circularised genome fragments may be present at low levels in a range of nematodes, with multipar- tite mitochondrial genomes representing a shift to a condition in which these subgenomic circles predominate. Key words: mitochondrial, nematode, gene rearrangement, Punctodera, Punctoderinae, Heteroderidae, Heterodera cardio- lata. -

Decision-Making in Health and Disease Keynote Presentation
C M Y K 4 Facilitating Human Behaviour Change Poster Presentations 5 Decision-Making in Health and Disease Keynote Presentation Discussion DISASTER RISK REDUCTION: THE BANGLADESH STORY The prevalence rate cannot be reduced in animals already having slit nostrils. However, the incidence of fresh cases can be minimized with a series of focused awareness-raising interventions. Thus, the issue can be tackled in D. Haider the long run by creating awareness in equine- owning communities of the cruelty of the practice. For this purpose, equine owners/users in communities, work places, and animal fairs were taken into account in order to design Bangladesh Disaster Preparedness Centre (BDPC), Dhaka, Bangladesh interventions to change their perceptions about the issue. Through pictorial banners, leaflets, demonstrations, and owners/users meetings, awareness on issue was aroused. The issue was treated with other welfare issues during Background walks and events arranged from time to time, for example World Animal Day – celebrated during the last 2 years in A country born out of a bloody freedom struggle in 1971 and currently home to 16.2 million people within a 145,570 all 3 districts. Equine owners were educated on the importance of regularly giving fresh water, including normal sq km land area, Bangladesh is identified as a developing country. It is an agrarian economy; 41% of the population saline, to their animals especially in summer. Owners/users awareness was raised on the prevention and are literate, of which 31% are female. With a per capita income of $520 (2008), the country has managed to management of heat stress in their animals. -
