A New Species

About a year ago when examining the intestinal contents of various fresh-water fishes of Bengal, I obtained a new acanthocephalan parasite, Acanthosentis dattai, from the small intestine of Barbus ticto and B. stigma. In a single host as many as twenty were obtained, but the average number of parasites taken from other hosts was four to ten. Some of these were found lying in a sluggish state in the lumen of the intestine. About the months of July and August some were found in copula.

A New Species

The fresh-water fish Wallago attu (Bloch. And Schn.) was collected from local fish market of district Balrampur (U.P.) and examined 15 specimens, of which only one specimen was found infected with 17 specimens of said species. The site of infection being the gill filaments of the host. The present form differs from S. devraji, S. malabaricus and S.parvulus in having accessory pieces on dorsal anchors and presence of wings on dorsal anchors. Moreover, it differs from S. indicus, S octolytus, S. aori and S. sudhakari in having cephalic glands and different shape of copulatory complex and vagina. On subsequent study, the present form appear to be a new species of the genus Silurodescoides Gussev, 1974 and described as a new species and named Silurodescoides srivastavai n. sp. in the honor of Dr. C.B. Srivastava, Ex. Dy. Director, Zoological Survey of India, Kolkata.

SUMMARYWe conducted a survey during the period from 1974 to 1976, to determine the distribution ofPlesiomonas shigelloidesin human faeces, the intestinal contents of cattle, swine, poultry, dogs, cats, fresh water fish, and river water and sludge from wet riverbeds in the vicinity of Tokyo. Isolation of the organisms was performed by using Salmonella-Shigella (SS) agar and deoxycholate-hydrogensulphide-lactose (DHL) agar plates.P. shigelloideswas isolated from 3 (0·0078%) of 38454 healthy Tokyoites, 37 (3·8%) of 967 dogs, 40 (10·3%) of 389 cats, 25 (10·2%) of 246 fresh water fish, 64 (12·8%) of 497 river water samples, and 2 of 19 (10·5%) sludge samples.Of 302 strains isolated, from dogs, cats, fresh water fish, river water and healthy carriers, 196 were typed to 50 serovars. Most of the serovars were found to be similar to strains isolated from patients with gastroenteritis due toP. shigelloides.
