SURIAYA MOGHAL M. Sc STUDIES ON LUNG FLUKES OF RANA SPP. By SURIAYA MOGHAL M. Sc A thesis submitted for the Degree of Master of Philosophy of the University of London and for the Diploma of Membership of the Imperial College. October, 1979 Department of Zoology and Applied Entomology, Imperial College of Science and Technology, South Kensington, London, SW 7. 2 ABSTRACT Miss Suriaya Moghal. "Studies on lung flukes of Rana spp" Studies were made on (1) the life cycle of Haematoloechus similis and H. variegatus from Rana ridibunda (2) Egg hatching in vitro of a, Haplometra cylindracea (from Rana temporaria) b, Haema- toloechus spp from Rana pipiens and R. ridibunda (3) In vitro culture of lung of Rana temporaria and R. pipiens. The development of Haematoloechus similis and H. variegatus in their intermediate hosts was investigated. Planorbis planorbis was found to serve as the first intermediate host for both these species. The second intermediate host Coenagrion puella was exposed to cercariae of Haematoloechus similis and 1 - 2 unencysted metacercariae were found free in the haemocoele on the following day. Coenagrion puella was also exposed to the cercariae of H. variegatus but no penetration was observed, again 1 - 2 metacercarial cysts were found. Out of 10 nymphs unexposed to cercariae which were used as controls, one was positive. Hence an experimental infection was not unequivocally demonstrated. The complete life cycle of Haematoloechus similis and H. variegatus in the U.K. thus remains undetermined. Attempts were made to obtain experimental infections of Haplometra cylindracea in snails of various species of laboratory bred snails such as Physa sp, Planorbis planorbis, Lymnaea peregra, L. stagnalis, L. palustris and L. truncatula. All these attempts were unsuccessful. It was, therefore, decided to attempt to hatch the eggs in vitro. The effects of different factors on the eggs of Haplometra cylindracea in vitro, such as osmotic pressure, hydrogen ion concentration, digestive enzymes, temperature, gas - 3 - phase, reducing agents, bile salts, NaOCland various other factors were examined. All attempts to hatch the eggs outside the host were unsuccessful but hatching took place in NaOC1, but only non-motile miracidia were observed since NaOClis toxic to miracidia. Eggs of Haematoloechus spp. hatched when placed in "snail conditioned water" (using Planorbis Planorbis) suggesting that some factor or factors which induce hatching, such as an enzyme, are released from the snail. Attempts were made to culture the lung tissue of Rana temporaria and R. pipiens in vitro in the hope that this might make possible culture of trematodes within cultured lung tissue. The maximum time of survival of this tissue culture was 114 days. 4 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT It is my first duty to express my sincerest thanks to my supervisor, Professor J. D.

On 21 June 2017, we spotted a single male of the Dainty Damselfly (Coenagrion scitulum (Rambur, 1842)). This is the first confirmed record of this species in Vorarlberg. In Austria, Coenagrion scitulum is autochthonous in its eastern parts (Styria, Burgenland, Lower Austria and Vienna) and has been recorded in Salzburg recently. In addition, an unconfirmed record for Vorarlberg was published in 2002. It is a species with holo-mediterranean distribution and a distinct range expansion (due to climate change) towards Central Europe in recent decades, where it usually inhabits low alti- tudes.

BioRisk 5: 127–139. doi: 10.3897/biorisk.5.846 Abstract Th e history of recording and monitoring of Odonata in Britain is briefl y described. Results are then pre- sented which suggest that the country’s Odonata fauna is currently in a period of fl ux, in a manner consist- ent with the actions of a high-level regulatory factor such as climate change. Th e ranges of many resident species are shifting. Leucorrhinia dubia has recently been lost from southern England, but many species are presently expanding their ranges to the north and west, some (such as Aeshna mixta and Anax imperator) with considerable speed. In addition to these changes, a number of ‘southern’ species have started to ap- pear in Britain for the very fi rst time. Th ese include Lestes barbarus, Erythromma viridulum (which has now become a locally-common resident in southeast England), Anax parthenope and Crocothemis erythraea.

The digeneans found in the lung were measured and drawings were made with a drawing tube. The ultrastructure was studied using scanning electron microscope. Glossidiella peruensis sp. nov. is easily distinguished from the type- and only species of the genus, Glossidiella ornata Travassos, 1927, by having an oblong cirrus sac (claviform in G.

The first two days were spent in the southern Vienne before we moved to the bizarre landscape of the Pinail reserve, and finally to Mezieres where we spent three days in the Brenne - ‘land of a thousand lakes’. This year's tour started on the cool side at 17-18°C, but settled into a pattern that proved to be ideal for finding and photographing odonata. Due to the sharp eyes, flexibility and optimism of group members, the tour was a resounding success, scoring a total of 44 species (tour average 41), equalling the tour record. The emphasis here is always on getting good, diagnostic views for all participants, something we achieved for all but one species. It was a good year for 'sets' of species this year, with both pincertails, four emerald dragonflies and both whiteface species. Added to this were five fritillary butterfly species, both Emperors (Purple and Lesser Purple), and an outstanding two clearwing moths – both Hornet and Firey.

Of the 17 species of anurans (Amphibia) known from 6 families in Turkey, 12 species were reported infected with helminths including monogenean, digenean, cestode, nematode, and acanthocephalan parasites. The 17 species are Bufo bufo (Linnaeus, 1758), Bufo verrucosissimus (Pallas, 1814), Bufo (Pseudepidalea ) viridis Laurenti 1768 (Bufonidae), Bombina bombina (Linnaeus, 1761) (Discoglossidae), Hyla arborea (Linnaeus, 1758), Hyla savignyi Audoin, 1827 (Hylidae), Pelobates fuscus (Laurenti, 1768), Pelobates syriacus (Boettger, 1889) (Pelobatidae), Pelodytes caucasicus Boulenger (1896) (Pelodytidae), Pelophylax bedriagae (Camerano, 1882), Pelophylax ridibundus (Pallas, 1771) (formerly known as Rana ridibunda ), Pelophylax caralitanus (Arikan, 1988), Rana camerani (Boulanger, 1886), Rana dalmatina Bonaparte, 1838, Rana holtzi Werner, 1898, Rana macrocnemis Boulanger, 1885, Rana tavasensis Baran and atatür, 1986 (Ranidae). Helminths were not reported in B. verrucosissimus , H. savignyi , P. fuscus , P. bedriagae , and P. caralitanus . The most heavily infected host was P. ridibundus. This host is known to be an aggressive feeder and highly adaptable to a wide variety of habitats and diet. Host species with restricted distribution and limited diet show very light infections, if any.

LEÓN-RÈGAGNON Estación de Biología Chamela, Instituto de Biología, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, A.P. 21, San Patricio, Jalisco, México, CP 48980, E–mail: [email protected] Article info Summary Received January 8, 2019 Fourty seven specimens of Pelophylax ridibundus were collected in the vicinity of Shiraz, Fars Prov- Accepted Mary 27, 2019 ince, Iran in 1972. Fourteen helminth species were found, eight digeneans (Diplodiscus subclavatus, Halipegus alhaussaini, Haematoloechus similis, Codonocephalus urniger, and four species of meta- cercariae) and 6 nematodes (Cosmocerca ornata, Rhabdias bufonis, Abbreviata sp., Eustrongylides sp., Onchocercidae gen. sp. and one species of larval nematodes). Of these, only six are adults, while 8 are in their larval stage. The most prevalent helminths were the metacercariae of Codono- cephalus urniger (61.7%) and the larvae Abbreviata sp. (55.32%). The adults with the highest prev- alence are the digenean Halipegus alhaussaini, and the nematode Cosmocerca ornata (34% in both cases). Keywords: Amphibians; Platyhelminthes; Nematoda; Parasites Introduction ertheless, the specifi c identity of the marsh frogs in Iran has been recently questioned based on molecular evidence (Pesarakloo et Helminths of Iranian amphibians have been scarcely studied. Of al., 2017). The goal of this study is to contribute to the knowledge the 14 recognized anuran species inhabiting this country (Safa- of the helminth fauna of Pelophylax ridibundus of Iran.
