  • First Molecular Detection and Characterization of Zoonotic
    Zouari et al. Parasites & Vectors (2017) 10:436 DOI 10.1186/s13071-017-2372-5 RESEARCH Open Access First molecular detection and characterization of zoonotic Bartonella species in fleas infesting domestic animals in Tunisia Saba Zouari, Fatma Khrouf, Youmna M’ghirbi and Ali Bouattour* Abstract Background: Bartonellosis is an emerging vector-borne disease caused by different intracellular bacteria of the genus Bartonella (Rhizobiales: Bartonellaceae) that is transmitted primarily by blood-sucking arthropods such as sandflies, ticks and fleas. In Tunisia, there are no data available identifying the vectors of Bartonella spp. In our research, we used molecular methods to detect and characterize Bartonella species circulating in fleas collected from domestic animals in several of the country’sbioclimaticareas. Results: A total of 2178 fleas were collected from 5 cats, 27 dogs, 34 sheep, and 41 goats at 22 sites located in Tunisia’s five bioclimatic zones. The fleas were identified as: 1803 Ctenocephalides felis (83%) (Siphonaptera: Pulicidae), 266 C. canis (12%) and 109 Pulex irritans (5%) (Siphonaptera: Pulicidae). Using conventional PCR, we screened the fleas for the presence of Bartonella spp., targeting the citrate synthase gene (gltA). Bartonella DNA was detected in 14% (121/866) of the tested flea pools [estimated infection rate (EIR) per 2 specimens: 0.072, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.060–0.086]. The Bartonella infection rate per pool was broken down as follows: 55% (65/118; EIR per 2 specimens: 0.329, 95% CI: 0. 262–0.402) in C. canis; 23.5% (8/34; EIR per 2 specimens: 0.125, 95% CI: 0.055–0.233) in P.

ZooKeys 615: 47–60. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.615.8581 Abstract Daphnia pulex has played an important role in fresh-water ecosystems. In this study, the complete mito- chondrial genome of Daphnia pulex from Chaohu, China was sequenced for the first time. It was accom- plished using long-PCR methods and a primer-walking sequencing strategy with genus-specific primers. The mitogenome was found to be 15,306 bp in length. It contained 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and a typical control region. This research revealed an overall A+T content of 64.50%. All of the 22 typical animal tRNA genes had a classical clover-leaf structure except for trnS1, in which its DHU arm simply formed a loop.

  • A Nomenclatural Summary of the Plant and Animal Names Based on Images in Mark Catesby’S Natural History (1729–1747)
    Reveal, J.L. 2012. A nomenclatural summary of the plant and animal names based on images in Mark Catesby’s Natural History (1729–1747). Phytoneuron 2012-11: 1–32. Published 1 February 2012. ISSN 2153 733X A NOMENCLATURAL SUMMARY OF THE PLANT AND ANIMAL NAMES BASED ON IMAGES IN MARK CATESBY’S NATURAL HISTORY (1729–1747) JAMES L. REVEAL L.H. Bailey Hortorium Department of Plant Biology Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853-4301 e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The English naturalist Mark Catesby is best known for his two volume work entitled Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands wherein he described and illustrated numerous plants and animals found mainly in the eastern North American English colonies of Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, and the Bahamas. This monumental work, published in parts from 1729 until 1747, became an important source of new species described by the Swedish natural Carl Linnaeus in the 1750s and 1760s. The summary presented here attempts to account for all instances where a new taxon was proposed wherein a reference was made by the author of the name to a published plate in Catesby. The nomenclatural status of each image is evaluated with a footnote providing a reference to both where the name was proposed and who, in the case of plants, designated a lectotype. Images are not considered to be types under the rules governing zoological nomenclature. No attempt is made here to account for the subsequent neotypification of names established under that code. KEY WORDS: Mark Catesby, nomenclature, typification, North America The English naturalist and artist, Mark Catesby, was born on 24 March 1683 (Julian) in the village of the Castle Hedingham, Essex, as the fifth son of John Catesby, a lawyer, and Elizabeth Jekyll, the daughter of a prosperous family of lawyers.

P. irritans have historically been known to use carnivores as a host, while P. simulans primarily parasitizes omnivores. To fully understand arthropod-borne infectious disease transmissibility and potential for geographical spread, it is important to differentiate between these two flea species.

  • Folk Knowledge of an Individual Plant Specimen: the Case of the Royal Fern (Osmunda Regalis L.) in Virestad Parish, Småland, Sweden
    Research Communication Folk Knowledge of an Individual Plant Specimen: The Case of the Royal Fern (Osmunda regalis L.) in Virestad Parish, Småland, Sweden Ingvar Svanberg Author Addresses: Uppsala Centre for Russian and Eurasian Studies, Uppsala University, Box 514, SE-751 20 Uppsala, Sweden [email protected] Received: February 23, 2012 Volume 3: 63-67 Published: November 5, 2012 © 2012 Society of Ethnobiology Abstract: Ethnobiological studies of local economic or folk religious uses of plants often rely on the assumption that plant use relates to folk knowledge about specific taxa. However, in some cases, folk knowledge is more about beliefs concerning an individual plant. When Carl Linnaeus traveled in 1749 through his native province of Småland, Sweden, he observed a striking specimen of a royal fern (Osmunda regalis L.), which was being used by a local healer. The appearance and unusually large size of this individual plant specimen were possibly responsible for its use. This species has not been used elsewhere in Sweden and historical data refer only to the single specimen observed by Linnaeus. Key words: healer’s knowledge, historical ethnobiology, intra-cultural diversity, Carl Linnaeus, folk knowledge. Introduction in the healing power of plants, as well as others who do Today, as local ecological knowledge is rapidly not hold that belief. Attitudes can also change over disappearing and to a great extent has already been lost time within a community or during an individual’s in most post-industrialized countries in Europe, lifetime (Anderson 2000; Pieroni 2003; Svanberg et al. historical data in archives are of particular interest to 2011).

  • A New Early Cretaceous Flea from China
    A new Early Cretaceous flea from China YANJIE ZHANG, CHUNGKUN SHIH, ALEXANDR P. RASNITSYN, DONG REN, and TAIPING GAO Zhang, Y., Shih, C., Rasnitsyn, A.P., Ren, D., and Gao, T. 2020. A new Early Cretaceous flea from China. Acta Palae- ontologica Polonica 65 (1): 99–107. Fleas are highly specialized holometabolic insects. So far, only 16 species of fossil fleas in five families have been re- ported due to the rare fossil records. At present, the earliest flea fossils are reported from the Middle Jurassic Jiulongshan Formation of Northeastern China. The descriptions of these earliest species pushed back the origin of Siphonaptera by at least 40 million years. It is generally accepted that saurophthirids are the “transitional” taxa from stem Jurassic fleas to living crown groups. Herein, we described a new “transitional” flea species, Saurophthirus laevigatus Zhang, Shih, Rasnitsyn, and Gao sp. nov., from the Lower Cretaceous Yixian Formation of Northeastern China, assigned to Saurophthiridae. The new species provides new evidence to support saurophthirids as a “transitional” group. Sexual dimorphism suggests significant differences in biology of opposite sexes in Saurophthirus. Analysis of described Mesozoic species demonstrates the body size reduction from the Middle Jurassic to the Early Cretaceous. Smaller body size was likely advantageous in reducing the probability of being detected and removed by the host and in minimizing flea’s demand for blood intake and energy input, indicating the adaptation of the ectoparasitic lifestyle of fleas in their early stage of evolution. Key words: Insecta, Siphonaptera, Saurophthiridae, Saurophthirus, ectoparasitic insects, compression fossils, Meso- zoic, Asia.
