  • New Zealand's Genetic Diversity
    1.13 NEW ZEALAND’S GENETIC DIVERSITY NEW ZEALAND’S GENETIC DIVERSITY Dennis P. Gordon National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research, Private Bag 14901, Kilbirnie, Wellington 6022, New Zealand ABSTRACT: The known genetic diversity represented by the New Zealand biota is reviewed and summarised, largely based on a recently published New Zealand inventory of biodiversity. All kingdoms and eukaryote phyla are covered, updated to refl ect the latest phylogenetic view of Eukaryota. The total known biota comprises a nominal 57 406 species (c. 48 640 described). Subtraction of the 4889 naturalised-alien species gives a biota of 52 517 native species. A minimum (the status of a number of the unnamed species is uncertain) of 27 380 (52%) of these species are endemic (cf. 26% for Fungi, 38% for all marine species, 46% for marine Animalia, 68% for all Animalia, 78% for vascular plants and 91% for terrestrial Animalia). In passing, examples are given both of the roles of the major taxa in providing ecosystem services and of the use of genetic resources in the New Zealand economy. Key words: Animalia, Chromista, freshwater, Fungi, genetic diversity, marine, New Zealand, Prokaryota, Protozoa, terrestrial. INTRODUCTION Article 10b of the CBD calls for signatories to ‘Adopt The original brief for this chapter was to review New Zealand’s measures relating to the use of biological resources [i.e. genetic genetic resources. The OECD defi nition of genetic resources resources] to avoid or minimize adverse impacts on biological is ‘genetic material of plants, animals or micro-organisms of diversity [e.g. genetic diversity]’ (my parentheses).

  • 3.2.2 Diplomonad (Hexamitid) Flagellates - 1
    3.2.2 Diplomonad (Hexamitid) Flagellates - 1 3.2.2 Diplomonad (Hexamitid) Flagellates: Diplomonadiasis, Hexamitosis, Spironucleosis Sarah L. Poynton Department of Comparative Medicine Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine 1-127 Jefferson Building, Johns Hopkins Hospital 600 North Wolfe Street Baltimore, MD 21287 410/502-5065 fax: 443/287-2954 [email protected] [email protected] A. Name of Disease and Etiological Agent Diplomonadiasis or hexamitosis is infection by diplomonad flagellates (Order Diplomonadida, suborder Diplomonadina, Family Hexamitidae). If the exact genus is known, the infections may be reported as hexamitiasis (Hexamita), octomitosis (Octomitus), or spironucleosis (Spironucleus); of these, probably only the latter is applicable to fish (see below). Infections may be reported as localized (commonly in the intestine, and possibly also including “hole-in-the head disease” of cichlids (Paull and Matthews 2001), or disseminated or systemic (Ferguson and Moccia 1980; Kent et al. 1992; Poppe et al. 1992; Sterud et al. 1998). Light microscopy studies have reported three genera from fish - namely Hexamita, Octomitus, and Spironucleus. However, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is needed to confirm genus (Poynton and Sterud 2002), and light microscopy studies are therefore taxonomically unreliable. If TEM is not available, the organisms should be recorded as diplomonad or hexamitid flagellates. All recent comprehensive ultrastructural studies show only the genus Spironucleus infecting fish, and it is probable that this is the genus to which all diplomonads from fish belong (Poynton and Sterud 2002). Some 15 to 20 species of diplomonads have been reported from fish (Poynton and Sterud 2002). However, most descriptions do not include comprehensive surface and internal ultrastructure and thus are incomplete.

  • The Intestinal Protozoa
    The Intestinal Protozoa A. Introduction 1. The Phylum Protozoa is classified into four major subdivisions according to the methods of locomotion and reproduction. a. The amoebae (Superclass Sarcodina, Class Rhizopodea move by means of pseudopodia and reproduce exclusively by asexual binary division. b. The flagellates (Superclass Mastigophora, Class Zoomasitgophorea) typically move by long, whiplike flagella and reproduce by binary fission. c. The ciliates (Subphylum Ciliophora, Class Ciliata) are propelled by rows of cilia that beat with a synchronized wavelike motion. d. The sporozoans (Subphylum Sporozoa) lack specialized organelles of motility but have a unique type of life cycle, alternating between sexual and asexual reproductive cycles (alternation of generations). e. Number of species - there are about 45,000 protozoan species; around 8000 are parasitic, and around 25 species are important to humans. 2. Diagnosis - must learn to differentiate between the harmless and the medically important. This is most often based upon the morphology of respective organisms. 3. Transmission - mostly person-to-person, via fecal-oral route; fecally contaminated food or water important (organisms remain viable for around 30 days in cool moist environment with few bacteria; other means of transmission include sexual, insects, animals (zoonoses). B. Structures 1. trophozoite - the motile vegetative stage; multiplies via binary fission; colonizes host. 2. cyst - the inactive, non-motile, infective stage; survives the environment due to the presence of a cyst wall. 3. nuclear structure - important in the identification of organisms and species differentiation. 4. diagnostic features a. size - helpful in identifying organisms; must have calibrated objectives on the microscope in order to measure accurately.

Phone no. 09418119222, Facsimile: 01892-267115 Email: [email protected] Abstract The genus Naegleria comprises of free living ameboflagellates found in soil and fresh water. More than 30 species have been isolated but only N. fowleri has been associated with human disease. N. fowleri causes primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM), an acute, often fulminant infection of CNS. Here we report a rare and first case of PAM in an immunocompetent elderly patient from this part of the country. Amoeboid and flagellate forms of N. fowleri were detected in the direct microscopic examination of CSF and confirmed by flagellation test in distilled water, demonstrating plaques /clear areas on 1.5% non nutrient agar and its survival at 42°C. Keywords: Meningitis, Naegleria fowleri, primary amoebic meningoencephalitis Introduction of our knowledge, in India, only eight cases have been reported so far .1, 5-8 Infection of the central nervous system (CNS) in human We hereby report a rare case of PAM in elderly beings with free living amoebae is uncommon. Among the immunocompetent patient from the hilly state of Himachal many different genera of amoebae, Naegleria spp, Pradesh (H.P) in Northern India. Acanthamoeba spp and Balamuthia spp are primarily pathogenic to the CNS.

Harp, Indrajit Chowdhury * Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Morehouse School of Medicine, 720 Westview Drive Southwest, Atlanta, GA, USA ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Article history: Trichomoniasis is the most common sexually transmitted disease, caused by a motile flagellate Received 30 August 2010 non-invasive parasitic protozoan, Trichomonas vaginalis (T. vaginalis). More than 160 million Received in revised form 13 December 2010 people worldwide are annually infected by this protozoan. T. vaginalis occupies an extracellular Accepted 27 February 2011 niche in the complex human genito-urinary environment (vagina, cervix, penis, prostate gland, and urethra) to survive, multiply and evade host defenses. T. vaginalis (strain G3) has a 160 megabase Keyword: genome with 60,000 genes, the largest number of genes ever identified in protozoans. The T. Trichomoniasis vaginalis genome is a highly conserved gene family that encodes a massive proteome with one of the largest coding (expressing 4000 genes) capacities in the trophozoite stage, and helps T. vaginalis to adapt and survive in diverse environment. Based on recent developments in the field, we review T. vaginalis structure, patho-mechanisms, parasitic virulence, and advances in diagnosis and
