SAYRE* AND MORTIMER P. STARR2 1 Nematology Laboratory, Plant Protection Institute, Beltsville Agricultural Research Center, Agricultural Research Service, United States Department of Agriculture, Beltsville, Maryland 20705, and 2 Department of Botany and Microbiology, Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona 85287 ABSTRACT: A spore-forming parasite of plant-parasitic nematodes, at first believed to be a sporozoan ("£>«- boscqia penetrans" Thorne, 1940), was later recognized to be a bacterium and was renamed "Bacillus penetrans" (Thorne, 1940) Mankau, 1975. Because "Bacillus penetrans" was not included in the 1980 "Approved Lists of Bacterial Names," it has no taxonomic standing. In effecting the formalities incident to reviving lapsed bacterial names, it became clear that "Bacillus penetrans" was misassigned to the bacterial genus Bacillus Cohn, 1872. Although the mode of formation and the structure of the endospore of the nematode parasite are similar to that described for members of the genus Bacillus, the organism differs from the description of that genus in cellular shape and size, motility, flagellation, sporangial shape and size, habitat, and nutritional requirements. The following traits of the nematode parasite suggest that it more properly belongs in the genus Pasteuria Metchnikoff, 1888: Primary vegetative colonies consist of a dichotomously branched, septate mycelium; daughter colonies, formed by fragmentation, gradually contain fewer but larger cells arranged predominantly in quartets; these larger vegetative cells differentiate into sporangia, arranged in quartets and doublets; eventually, single sporangia predominate in the nematode's pseudocoelom; the sporangium consists of a conical stem, a swollen middle cell, and an endogenous spore; the mature endospores, released from the remnants of the nematode, attach to the cuticles of other host nematodes and germinate; then, the parasitic cycle is repeated. A description of Pasteuria penetrans (ex Thorne, 1940) nom. rev., comb, n., sp. n., and an emended description of the genus Pasteuria are presented. Archival Background nematode parasite described by Micoletzky, it The first report of an organism resembling also was assigned by Thorne (1940) to the pro- "Bacillus penetrans"3 (Thorne, 1940) Mankau, tozoan genus Duboscqia, as D. penetrans. 1975 was by Cobb (1906), who found numerous Thome's description and nomenclature were highly refractile spores infecting specimens of the to persist until 1975, even though other investi- nematode Dorylaimus bulbiferons.

This error of plac- questioned this placement. It was not until the ing in the protozoa an organism now known to nematode parasite was reexamined using elec- be a bacterial parasite of nematodes was to per- tron microscopy that its true affinities to the bac- sist for nearly 70 years. A more precise but still teria rather than to the protozoa were recognized incorrect placement was suggested by Micoletzky and the name "Bacillus penetrans" (Thorne, (1925), who found a nematode parasite having 1940) Mankau, 1975 was applied to it (Mankau, spores similar in size and shape to those reported 1975a, b; Mankau and Imbriani, 1975; Imbriani by Cobb; Micoletzky suggested that these spores and Mankau, 1977). belong to the genus Duboscqia Perez, 1908, again A different set of incorrect conclusions have a sporozoan group (Perez, 1908). Later, Thorne until now inhibited reassignment of "Bacillus (1940) described in detail a new parasite from penetrans" to the genus Pasteuria Metchnikoff, Pratylenchus pratensis (de Man) Filipjev; on the 1888, where we believe

Box 56, Dunedin 9054, New Zealand; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +47-481-37-867 Abstract: Free-living species often receive greater conservation attention than the parasites they support, with parasite conservation often being hindered by a lack of parasite biodiversity knowl- edge. This study aimed to determine the current state of knowledge regarding parasites of the Southern Hemisphere freshwater fish family Galaxiidae, in order to identify knowledge gaps to focus future research attention. Specifically, we assessed how galaxiid–parasite knowledge differs among geographic regions in relation to research effort (i.e., number of studies or fish individuals examined, extent of tissue examination, taxonomic resolution), in addition to ecological traits known to influ- ence parasite richness. To date, ~50% of galaxiid species have been examined for parasites, though the majority of studies have focused on single parasite taxa rather than assessing the full diversity of macro- and microparasites. The highest number of parasites were observed from Argentinean galaxiids, and studies in all geographic regions were biased towards the highly abundant and most widely distributed galaxiid species, Galaxias maculatus.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. The study of leeches from Lake Gusinoe and its adjacent area offered us the possibility to determine species diversity. Asa result, an updated species list of the Gusinoe Hirudinea fauna (Annelida, Clitellata) has been compiled. There are two orders and three families of leeches in the Gusinoe area: order Rhynchobdellida (families Glossiphoniidae and Piscicolidae) and order Arhynchobdellida (family Erpobdellidae). In total, 6 leech species belonging to 6 genera have been identified. Of these, 3 taxa belonging to the family Glossiphoniidae (Alboglossiphonia heteroclita f. papillosa, Hemiclepsis marginata,andHelobdella stagnalis) and representatives of 3 unidentified species (Glossiphonia sp., Piscicola sp., and Erpobdella sp.) have been recorded. The checklist gives a contemporary overview of the species composition of leeches and information on their hosts or substrates.

  • Distribution of the Ribbon Leech in North Dakota
    109 Distribution of the Ribbon Leech in North Dakota CHRISTOPHER M. PENNUTOI and MALCOLM G. BUTLER Department of Zoology, North Dakota State University, Fargo, ND 58105 ABSTRACT-The distribution of the ribbon leech, NepMlopsis obscwra, was examined in the Central Lowland and Missouri Coteau regions of North Dakota. The leech was found in 12 of3S ponds sampled during a two-year period. Leeches were trapped with throated metal cans and burlap sacks baited with frozen fish parts. Leech ocamence was positively correlated with maximum depth, mean conductivity, and percent littoral rock cover. Leech occurrence was not correlated with surface area or latiwde. Ponds containing N. obscwra were characterized by maximum depths greater than or equal to 1.0 m, mean conductivity values between 500 and 2300 uS/em', and some measurable littoral rock cover. Investiga­ tions concerning all life cycle anributes ofleech populations should be pursued in North Dakota to assist resource managers in establishing harvest policy for this important bait source. Key words: NepMlopsis obscwra, conductivity, maximum depth, prairie wetlands, ribbon leech The ribbon leech (Nephelopsis obscura Verrill; Hirudinea: Erpobdellidae) is an importantfish baitin the upper Midwestprizedby walleye and bass anglers. This leech occurs in ponds throughout the North Central and northern Rocky Mountain states in the U.S. and Canada (Herrmann 1970a, Klemm 1985). Collinsetal. (1981) suggested that Type III and IV wetlands with a silty bottom and no sport fish are ideal leech habitats in Minnesota. This leech has a semelparous, but potentially iteroparous, life cycle and attains a maximum fresh weight of 150-1200 mg, depending on geographic region (Davies and Everett 1977, Davies 1978, Linton et al.

For this, a defi ned number of praeimaginal stages of M. domestica was transferred in daily intervals (from day 0 to day 10) on faecal samples of a naturally infected horse harboring 269 adult H. muscae in its stomach. The development of M. domestica was monitored until imagines appeared. Harvested pupae were measured and weighted and the success of infection was studied by counting 3rd stage nematode larvae in freshly hatched fl ies. In addition, time of pupation and duration of the whole development of the fl ies was noticed. Pupation, hatching and preimaginal mortality rates were calculated and the number of nematode larvae in freshly hatched fl ies was counted. Adult fl ies harboured up to 60 Habronema larvae. Lower pupal volumes and weights, lower pupation rates and higher preimaginal mortality rates were found in experimental groups with long exposure to parasite eggs compared to experimental groups with short exposure or to the uninfected control groups. Maggots of the former groups pupated earlier and fl y imagines occurred earlier. These fi ndings clearly showed a negative impact of H.

Krebs Department of Biological, Geological and Environmental Sciences Cleveland State University Cleveland, Ohio, USA 44115 September 2015 (Revised from 2009) 2 Atlas of the Freshwater Mussels (Unionidae) (Class Bivalvia: Order Unionoida) Recorded at the Old Woman Creek National Estuarine Research Reserve & State Nature Preserve, Ohio, and surrounding watersheds Acknowledgements I thank Dr. David Klarer for providing the stimulus for this project and Kristin Arend for a thorough review of the present revision. The Old Woman Creek National Estuarine Research Reserve provided housing and some equipment for local surveys while research support was provided by a Research Experiences for Undergraduates award from NSF (DBI 0243878) to B. Michael Walton, by an NOAA fellowship (NA07NOS4200018), and by an EFFRD award from Cleveland State University. Numerous students were instrumental in different aspects of the surveys: Mark Lyons, Trevor Prescott, Erin Steiner, Cal Borden, Louie Rundo, and John Hook. Specimens were collected under Ohio Scientific Collecting Permits 194 (2006), 141 (2007), and 11-101 (2008). The Old Woman Creek National Estuarine Research Reserve in Ohio is part of the National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERRS), established by section 315 of the Coastal Zone Management Act, as amended. Additional information on these preserves and programs is available from the Estuarine Reserves Division, Office for Coastal Management, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, U. S.
