Indonesia is a tropical region that stretches across the equator, comprised of 5 main islands (Java, Kalimantan, Sumatra, Sulawesi, and Papua) and 4 archipelagoes (Riau, Bangka Belitung, Nusa Tenggara, and Ma- luku). As most population of Eastern Indonesia (Sulawesi, Papua and Nusa Tenggara & Maluku) live in poor areas, it is ex- pected that there will be many parasites. Nevertheless, little is known about the status of parasites in Indonesia. This study examines the prevalences of malaria and lymphatic filaria, which are prevalent in Indonesia, as well as those of soil- transmitted-helminths (STH). As a result, the Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax case loads are almost equal. The cur- rent prevalence of P. vivax is uniformly low (< 5%) in all age groups and annual parasite incidence (API) showed decreas- ing tendency as 0.84 per 1,000 population in 2016. However, more than 65 million people still live in malaria epidemic re- gions.

Population Genetics, Biogeography and Ecological Interactions of the New Zealand Bellbird (Anthornis melanura) and their Avian Malaria Parasites A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Zoology at Massey University, Albany, New Zealand Shauna Maureen Baillie September 2011 Abstract Adult female New Zealand bellbird (Photo: Jordi Segers) Singing adult male New Zealand bellbird (Photo: Rob Cross) Giemsa-stained blood smears from a bellbird at Tawharanui Regional Park infected with intracellular Plasmodium sp. Three adult male bellbirds at a sugar water feeder (arrows in upper and lower photos) on Tiritiri Matangi (Photo: Jordi Segers) (Photos: Gribbles Veterinary) Abct Abstract Habitat loss and redistribution of species has lead to population declines and loss of genetic diversity with serious implications to species survival on ecological and evolutionary scales. While there is no doubt that rapidly dwindling endangered populations require our immediate attention, studies on common species are equally important. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the genetic connectivity, biogeographical relationships and host-parasite interactions of a common and widely distributed bird species, mainly because we want common species to remain common. Furthermore, I illustrate how studies such as this provide invaluable comparisons for sympatric endangered species. In this thesis, patterns of genetic variation of the New Zealand bellbird (Anthornis melanura) are delineated to assess their re-colonization potential among fragmented landscapes.

  • Redescription of Genera of Family Eimeriidae Minchin, 1903
    Review Redescription of Genera of Family Eimeriidae Minchin, 1903 Tirth R. Ghimire Strathclyde Institute of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Scotland. Correspondence: [email protected] ABSTRACT Taxonomy includes collection, identification, naming and ordering of specimens into a system of words consistent with any kind of relationships among them, the study of literatures and analysis of variations shown by the specimens and finally the publication of data. Practical reasons for the degree of stability-even for a relatively short period of time are: for teaching purposes at advanced levels and for the benefit of many non- protozoolists. The eimeriid coccidia are one of the more controversial groups of protozoa. The problems of describing different species within family Eimeriidae Minchin, 1903 are due to their abnormal phenotypic and phylogenetic characters, occurrence in abnormal hosts with different lifecycle patterns. The basis of classification of the genera under this family includes the Phenotypic and Phylogenetic characters and the lifecycle of parasites and data of their hosts. I have updated the information of classification system given by the Society of Protozoologists (Lee JJ, Hutner SH, Bovee EC and Upton J, 2001. The Illustrated Guide to the Protozoa, 2nd Edition. Allen Press, Lawrence, KS) and online materials by Duszynski DW, Couch L and Upton SJ, Supported by NSF-PEET DEB 9521687. In this review, I have focused on seventeen true species and seven pseudospecies with the information of their synonyms, oocyst formula, generic characters, and total number of named species, type species and type host. Keywords: Eimeriidae, Genera, Phenotypic, phylogenetic, pseudoparasitism, Redescription.
