La scelta di organizzare un Congresso virtuale è stata sofferta, ma necessaria, alla luce dell’attuale emergenza sanitaria da CoViD-19. In un periodo storico difficile, la cultura scientifica, proposta nel rispetto delle singole peculiarità e competenze, rappresenta una risorsa imprescindibile. La connotazione interdisciplinare della SoIPa è risultata fondamentale per un proficuo dibattito scientifico e un alto livello di adattamento a realtà in continuo mutamento. Il XXXI Congresso Nazionale SoIPa “I Parassiti del Terzo Millennio” è incentrato su numerose parassitosi d’interesse medico e veterinario e affronta argomenti emergenti e di rilevanza nazionale e internazionale. Il 17 giugno si terrà infatti un evento congiunto con l’European Society of Dirofilariosis and Angiostrongylosis, il 2021 ESDA Event “Dirofilariosis and angiostrongylosis: from the past to the future”. Il Congresso si apre con una Sessione Plenaria dedicata al tema “Parasites & Media” e si articola, nel suo complesso, in una Plenary Lecture dal titolo “Past, present and future of Parasite control in the One Health perspective”, nove Simposi, due Forum, cinque Invited Talk Sessions, cinque Sessioni Scientifiche e una Sessione dedicata alla Sezione Poster. Gli Atti raccolgono oltre 200 contributi scientifici, che offrono un’ampia panoramica dei temi affrontati e rappresentano un’occasione di conoscenza unica e la base per l’avvio di proficue collaborazioni. Orientato allo stato dell’arte e alle prospettive della Parassitologia, il Congresso è caratterizzato dalla speciale attenzione rivolta ai partecipanti più giovani, il futuro della Società. Il Comitato Organizzatore e il Consiglio Direttivo della SoIPa hanno infatti riservato le sessioni di Comunicazioni Orali ai giovani ricercatori, e hanno offerto loro numerose opportunità di pubblicazione su riviste della Casa Editrice MDPI, e molti premi. Tra questi, ricordiamo il Premio intitolato alla memoria del Prof. Vezio Puccini, compianto e stimato Parassitologo e Mentore. Assai preziosi per la realizzazione di questo Congresso, i contributi dell’Università degli Studi di Teramo, della Facoltà di Medicina Veterinaria di UniTe, delle Aziende Sponsor, dell’IZS dell’Abruzzo e Molise “G. Caporale”, del Parco Nazionale d’Abruzzo, Lazio e Molise e del Parco Nazionale della Maiella. L’organizzazione del XXXI Congresso SoIPa / 2021 ESDA Event non sarebbe stata possibile senza l’impegno del Comitato Organizzatore, del Consiglio Direttivo della SoIPa e del Board ESDA, il supporto delle Istituzioni Pubbliche e delle Aziende Private, e la partecipazione attiva dei Moderatori delle diverse sessioni, dei Relatori Invitati e di tutti i partecipanti che, nonostante tutto, hanno avuto fiducia in noi. A nome del Comitato Organizzatore Il Presidente Donato Traversa v XXXI Congresso SoIPa & 2021 ESDA Event, Teramo, 16-19 giugno 2021 Dear Friends and Colleagues, The Conference of the Italian Society of Parasitology, organized by the parasitologists of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the University of Teramo, will take place, for the first time since the establishment of the Society, virtually. The decision to organize a virtual conference was hard fought, but necessary, due to the current CoViD-19 sanitary emergency. In a difficult historical period, the scientific culture, along with individual peculiarities and skills, represents a crucial resource. The interdisciplinary connotation of SoIPa is fundamental for a fruitful scientific debate and a high level of adaptation to constantly changing reality. The XXXI SoIPa National Conference "The Parasites of the Third Millennium" focuses on key parasitoses of medical and veterinary interest and addresses emerging topics of national and international relevance. Indeed, on June 17 there is a joint event with the European Society of Dirofilariosis and Angiostrongylosis, the 2021 ESDA Event "Dirofilariosis and angiostrongylosis: from the past to the future". The Conference opens with a Plenary Session dedicated to the theme "Parasites & Media", followed by a Plenary Lecture entitled "Past, present and future of Parasite control in the One Health perspective", nine Symposia, two Forum, five Invited Talk Sessions, five Scientific Sessions and one Posters Session. The Proceedings collect over 200 scientific contributions, offering a broad overview of the topics and representing a unique knowledge opportunity and a basis for fruitful and stimulating collaborations. The Congress is oriented towards the state of the art and future perspectives for parasitology and relies on a special attention paid to younger participants, the future of the Society. The Organizing Committee and the SoIPa Board have, in fact, reserved the sessions of Oral Communications for young researchers, who have been offered with numerous opportunities for publication in MDPI Publisher Journals, and many awards. Among these, we mention the Prize dedicated to the memory of Prof. Vezio Puccini, the late and esteemed Parasitologist and Mentor. The organization of this Event has been supported by the invaluable contributions from the University of Teramo, the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of UniTe, the several Sponsors, the IZS of Abruzzo and Molise "G. Caporale", the National Park of Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise and the National Park of Maiella. The organization of the XXXI SoIPa / 2021 ESDA Event Conference would not have been possible without the commitment of the Organizing Committee, the SoIPa and ESDA Boards, the support of the above Public Institutions and Private Companies, and the active participation of the Chairpersons, the Invited Speakers and of all the participants who, despite all, trusted us. On behalf of the Organizing Committee The President Donato Traversa vi XXXI Congresso SoIPa & 2021 ESDA Event, Teramo, 16-19 giugno 2021 XXXI CONFERENCE OF THE ITALIAN SOCIETY OF PARASITOLOGY & 2021 ESDA EVENT INTRODUCTION Dear Congress Participants, dear Colleagues and Friends, I have the honour of introducing the XXXI Conference of the Italian Society of Parasitology.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Tahli Kouperstein, (240) 662-2221 [email protected] EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED IN AN ALL-NEW SEASON OF ANIMAL PLANET’S MONSTERS INSIDE ME -- On October 5, Season Three Shares the Gruesome and Deadly Stories Of Parasites Living Within Us -- (Silver Spring, Md.) – Just because a parasite is not a bear, tiger or some other large predator, that doesn’t mean it can’t be as deadly…if not more so. MONSTERS INSIDE ME returns on Friday, October 5, at 8 PM (ET/PT), retelling the real-life, harrowing dramas of people infected by deadly parasites as doctors and scientists try to unravel each case before it’s too late. MONSTERS INSIDE ME reveals what happens to unsuspecting victims when the smallest creatures turn out to be the biggest monsters. Parasites are organisms that live on or in another species, which then serve as hosts from which the parasite gains nutrients. Failing to recognize or incorrectly diagnosing a parasite can wreak havoc and sometimes cause death. This season, MONSTERS INSIDE ME features stories about people who are harboring tapeworms, flesh-eating diseases, the bubonic plague, rabies, rat-bite fever, a brain-eating amoeba and more. The series also chronicles accounts of victims who suffer from objects that mistakenly are left in them during surgery. • When Kiera, from Springfield, Ohio, experiences severe headaches, she is rushed to the emergency room. Initially, doctors perform a spinal tap and suspect meningitis. After an MRI is performed, doctors realize she might have a teratoma, a tumor that is composed of cells from other organs, which can grow hair, teeth and even eyes.

  • A Study of Learning Gains and Attitudes in Biology Using an Emerging Disease Model in Teaching Ecology
    A Study of Learning Gains and Attitudes in Biology Using an Emerging Disease Model in Teaching Ecology Susan Chabot CATALySES, Summer 2017 Science Teacher/Department Chair Lemon Bay High School Englewood, Florida [email protected] Abstract Lemon Bay High School (LBHS) is a mid-sized suburban public high school on the southwest coast of Florida in Charlotte County. Although we have a robust honors and advance placement (AP) science program, the number of general students taking additional science classes is small. We have recognized this trend and account dwindling general science enrollment to the shift in biology instruction that followed the state induction of the biology end-of-course exam (EOC). All students must pass biology and take (not pass) the biology EOC to receive a high school diploma. Instruction in preparation for changing biology standards and focus over the last 15 years has drastically altered the delivery of biology content. Although currently more emphasis is placed on project-based/thematic learning units, teachers of biology have been forced to rely on direct instruction methods in order to complete the necessary material for this state-mandated test. The shift has been away from depth of understanding and scientific thinking skills to quick-coverage of material in the hopes students will recall some vocabulary and concepts during the biology end-of-course exam. With stagnant test scores in general biology classes and waning appreciation for the sciences, the belief is that student attitudes and science content understanding will improve through the integration of thematic, project-based learning units that incorporate emerging pathogens, disease, and biology content standards.

Morphology and nucleotide sequence of the mitochondrial cytochromec oxidase subunit 1gene (mt DNA COI) ofthe cestode found was examined. The cestode is differed from T hydatigena both morphologically and genetically. The differences between two species were in the gross length, different number of testes, presence of vaginal sphincter and in egg size. The nucleotide sequence of this cestode differed from that of 7: hydatigena at 34 of the 384 (8.6%) nucleotide positions examined. The present cestode is very close to 7: kotlani in morphology and size of rostellar hooks. However, the adult stages of the latter species are unknown, and further comparison was unfeasible.

TREWICK defining feature of the Hexapoda, as the name suggests, is six legs. Also, the body comprises a head, thorax, and abdomen. The number A of abdominal segments varies, however; there are only six in the Collembola (springtails), 9–12 in the Protura, and 10 in the Diplura, whereas in all other hexapods there are strictly 11. Insects are now regarded as comprising only those hexapods with 11 abdominal segments. Whereas crustaceans are the dominant group of arthropods in the sea, hexapods prevail on land, in numbers and biomass. Altogether, the Hexapoda constitutes the most diverse group of animals – the estimated number of described species worldwide is just over 900,000, with the beetles (order Coleoptera) comprising more than a third of these. Today, the Hexapoda is considered to contain four classes – the Insecta, and the Protura, Collembola, and Diplura. The latter three classes were formerly allied with the insect orders Archaeognatha (jumping bristletails) and Thysanura (silverfish) as the insect subclass Apterygota (‘wingless’). The Apterygota is now regarded as an artificial assemblage (Bitsch & Bitsch 2000).
