IZVLEČEK Gregarine (Protozoa: Apicomplexa: Eugregarinida) so paraziti v prebavilih in telesnih votlinah nevretenčarjev, kot so kolobarniki, plaščarji in členonoţci. Poleti in v jeseni leta 2013 sem pregledala prebavila 30 osebkov iz 11 vrst kobilic (Orthoptera) iz severovzhodne Slovenije. Našla sem sedem vrst gregarin: Leidyana gryllorum (Cuenot, 1897); Gregarina delmasi Tuzet et Rambier, 1953; Gregarina cf. proteocephala Semans, 1939; Gregarina sp. 1; Gregarina sp. 2; Gregarina sp. 3 in Gregarina sp. 4. Od teh je vrsta Gregarina cf. proteocephala Semans, 1939 za Slovenijo prvič zabeleţena. Identitete štirih vrst iz rodu Gregarina nisem mogla ugotoviti. Ključne besede: Eugregarinida, gregarine, paraziti, kobilice, Orthoptera, Slovenija. 1 LAVRENČIČ, Š.: Gregarine (Protozoa: Apicomplexa: Eugregarinida) v prebavilih kobilic (Orthoptera).

LAVRENČIČ, Š. : Gregarines (Protozoa: Apicomplexa: Eugregarinida) in the digestive tract of insect of the order Orthoptera. Graduation Thesis, University of Maribor, Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Department of Biology, 2013. ABSTRACT Gregarines (Protozoa: Apicomplexa: Eugregarinida) are parasites in the digestive tract and body cavities of invertebrates, such as annelid, tunicates and arthropods. In the summer and in the autumn of 2013, I have examined the intestines from 11 species of 30 locust (Orthoptera) from NE Slovenia. I found seven species of gregarines: Leidyana gryllorum (Cuenot, 1897); Gregarina delmasi Tuzet et Rambier, 1953; Gregarina cf. proteocephala Semans, 1939; Gregarina sp. 1; Gregarina sp. 2; Gregarina sp. 3 and Gregarina sp. 4. The species Gregarina cf. Proteocephala Semans, 1939 is the first time recorded in Slovenia. Four species of the genus Gregarina I have not been able to identify. Key words: Eugregarinida, Gregarines, parasites, Orthoptera, grasshoppers, Slovenia. 2 LAVRENČIČ, Š.: Gregarine (Protozoa: Apicomplexa: Eugregarinida) v prebavilih kobilic (Orthoptera).

  • Reptile Pets Shuttle Grasshopper Allergy and Asthma Into Homes Erika Jensen-Jarolim1,2*, Isabella Pali-Schöll1,2, Sebastian A.F
    Jensen-Jarolim et al. World Allergy Organization Journal (2015) 8:24 DOI 10.1186/s40413-015-0072-1 journal REVIEW Open Access Caution: Reptile pets shuttle grasshopper allergy and asthma into homes Erika Jensen-Jarolim1,2*, Isabella Pali-Schöll1,2, Sebastian A.F. Jensen3, Bruno Robibaro3,4 and Tamar Kinaciyan5 Abstract The numbers of reptiles in homes has at least doubled in the last decade in Europe and the USA. Reptile purchases are increasingly triggered by the attempt to avoid potentially allergenic fur pets like dogs and cats. Consequently, reptiles are today regarded as surrogate pets initiating a closer relationship with the owner than ever previously observed. Reptile pets are mostly fed with insects, especially grasshoppers and/or locusts, which are sources for aggressive airborne allergens, best known from occupational insect breeder allergies. Exposure in homes thus introduces a new form of domestic allergy to grasshoppers and related insects. Accordingly, an 8-year old boy developed severe bronchial hypersensitivity and asthma within 4 months after purchase of a bearded dragon. The reptile was held in the living room and regularly fed with living grasshoppers. In the absence of a serological allergy diagnosis test, an IgE immunoblot on grasshopper extract and prick-to-prick test confirmed specific sensitization to grasshoppers. After 4 years of allergen avoidance, a single respiratory exposure was sufficient to trigger a severe asthma attack again in the patient. Based on literature review and the clinical example we conclude that reptile keeping is associated with introducing potent insect allergens into home environments. Patient interviews during diagnostic procedure should therefore by default include the question about reptile pets in homes.

During present study four species of locusts; belonging to four genera Anacridium, Cyrtacanthacris, Locusta and Schistocerca, two subfamilies Cyrtacanthacridinae and Oedipodenae and one family Acrididae were reported from Thar Desert from June 2015 to May 2016. Comparative study revealed that two species Schistocerca gregaria and Locusta migratoria are swarming and destructive while, Anacridium aegyptium and Cyrtacanthacridinae tatarica are non-swarming but are larger in body size and graze more vegetation than both swarming species. Though these four species have ecological and morphological difference but the nature of damage is almost similar. All these species were recorded as pest of foliage of all crops and natural vegetation. Keywords: Comparative morphology, geographic distribution, locusts, Thar Desert, damage to useful plants 1.

Wenzel, Advisor Dr. Norman F. Johnson ______________________________ Dr. Johannes S. H. Klompen Advisor Graduate Program in Entomology Copyright by Hojun Song 2006 ABSTRACT The systematics of Cyrtacanthacridinae (Orthoptera: Acrididae) is investigated to study the evolution of locust phase polyphenism, biogeography, and the evolution of male genitalia. In Chapter Two, I present a comprehensive taxonomic synopsis of the genus Schistocerca Stål. I review the taxonomic history, include an identification key to species, revise the species concepts of six species and describe a new species. In Chapter Three, I present a morphological phylogeny of Schistocerca, focusing on the biogeography. The phylogeny places the desert locust S. gregaria deep within the New World clade, suggesting that the desert locust originated from the New World. In Chapter Four, I review the systematics of Cyrtacanthacridinae and present a phylogeny based on morphology. Evolution of taxonomically important characters is investigated using a character optimization analysis. The biogeography of the subfamily is also addressed. In Chapter Five, I present a comprehensive review the recent advances in the study of locust phase polyphenism from various disciplines. The review reveals that locust phase polyphenism is a complex phenomenon consisting of numerous density-dependent phenotypically plastic traits.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ABSTRACT A study on the cell biology of motility inEimeria tenella sporozoites Eimeria tenella is an obligate intracellular parasite within the phylum Apicomplexa. It is the causative agent of coccidiosis in domesticated chickens and under modem farming conditions can have a considerable economic impact. Motility is employed by the sporozoite to effect release from the sporocyst and enable invasion of appropriate host cells and occurs at an average speed of 16.7 ± 6 pms'\ Frame by frame video analysis of gliding motility shows it to be an erratic non­ substrate specific process and this observation was confirmed by studies of bead translocation across the cell surface occurring at an average speed of 16.9 ± 7.6 pms'^ Incubation with cytochalasin D, 2,3-butanedione monoxime and colchicine, known inhibitors of the motility associated proteins actin, myosin and tubulin respectively, indicated that it is an actomyosin complex which generates the force to power sporozoite motility.

  • Formation Patterns of Acridid Communities in Urban Landscapes of Turkmenistan
    Annals of Ecology and Environmental Science Volume 2, Issue 1, 2018, PP 16-22 Formation Patterns of Acridid Communities in Urban Landscapes of Turkmenistan E.O. Kokanova National Institute of Deserts, Flora and Fauna of the State Committee on Environment Protection and Land Resources of Turkmenistan, Turkmenistan *Corresponding Author: E.O. Kokanova, National Institute of Deserts, Flora and Fauna of the State Committee on Environment Protection and Land Resources of Turkmenistan. ABSTRACT Acridid communities of urbanized landscapes in Turkmenistan are described for the first time. General peculiarities of formation of acridid communities in urban landscapes are studying for the desert zone. The structure of the communities is determined by soil conditions, types of plant cover and the level of anthropogenic impact on the different urban biotopes. Acridid communities of different urban biotopes are distinguished one from the other by taxonomic and ecological diversity. Many acridid species are associated with tugai (riparian woodlands) and Kopetdag foothills and plain. Special conditions of urban landscapes are promoting the penetration of some acridids, usually described as desert species. Keywords: acridid communities, urban landscape, desert zone, abundance, tugai, life form, positive phototaxis; INTRODUCTION landscape have been expansion greatly during last year’s and they are varied by using targets.

Graham Clark Urosporids (Apicomplexa: Urosporidae) are eugregarines that parasitise marine invertebrates, such as annelids, molluscs, nemerteans and echinoderms, inhabiting their coelom and intestine. Urosporids exhibit considerable morphological plasticity, which correlates with their different modes of motil- ity and variations in structure of their cortical zone, according to the localisation within the host. The gregarines Urospora ovalis and U. travisiae from the marine polychaete Travisia forbesii were investigated with an emphasis on their general morphology and phylogenetic position. Solitary ovoid trophozoites and syzygies of U. ovalis were located free in the host coelom and showed metabolic activity, a non-progressive movement with periodic changes of the cell shape. Solitary trophozoites of U.
