Abstract A description is provided for Loma boopsidis, which infects fish of the family Sparidae off the west coast of tropical Africa; infections developing in the host cytoplasm (but not in nerve tissues), without diplokarya, and resulting in tumours (also known as 'xenomas') in which the host nucleus is centrally located. Some information on its dispersal and transmission, habitats and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (Africa (Senegal)).

Abstract A description is provided for Loma trichiuri, which infects fish of the family Trichiuridae in the Indian and western Pacific Oceans; infections developing in the host cytoplasm (but not in nerve tissues), presumably without diplokarya, and resulting in tumours (also known as 'xenomas') in which the host nucleus is presumed to be centrally located. Some information on its dispersal and transmission, habitats and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (Asia (India (Andhra Pradesh))).

Abstract A description is provided for Loma camerounensis, which infects freshwater fish of the family Cichlidae in tropical sub-Saharan Africa; infections developing in the host cytoplasm (but not in nerve tissues), without diplokarya, and resulting in tumours (also known as 'xenomas') in which the host nucleus is centrally located. Some information on its dispersal and transmission, habitats and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (Africa (Cameroon)). There seem to be no evaluations of the economic impact of L. camerounensis: neither positive, for example as a potential biological control of an invasive, nor negative, for example as a possible cause of mortality in farmed fish.

Abstract A description is provided for Loma fontinalis, which infects Salvelinus fontinalis (the brook trout, a fish of the family Salmonidae) in east-coast North America; infections developing in the host cytoplasm (but not in nerve tissues), without diplokarya, and resulting in tumours (also known as 'xenomas') in which the host nucleus is centrally located. Some information on its dispersal and transmission, habitats and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (North America (Canada (Nova Scotia))). No evaluation has been made of any possible positive economic impact of this species (e.g. as a recycler, as a source of useful products, as a provider of checks and balances within its ecosystem, etc.), despite its only known host, S. fontinalis, being an invasive in some parts of the world.

Nematode Parasitism

In the following article is described an interesting parasitic condition which is difficult to interpret. The small intestine of an Hadada, Geronticus hagedash, was brought back from the West Coast of Africa by Major T. A. Cockburn, M.D., R.A.M.C, who kindly passed it to me for further examination. The bird is a member of the family Plataleidae, living in wooded districts in West Africa in the neighbourhood of water and feeding on invertebrates, mainly annelids and small crustaceans which it finds at the bottom of ponds and streams in the mud.

Abstract A description is provided for Cyberloma acerinae, which infects fish of the families Atherinidae, Gobiidae and Percidae in Europe; infections developing in the host cytoplasm (but not in nerve tissues), without diplokarya, and resulting in tumours (also known as 'xenomas') in which the host nucleus is centrally located. Some information on its dispersal and transmission, habitats and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (Asia (Kazakhstan (Aktobe), Russia (Novosibirsk Oblast)) and Europe (Czech Republic, Finland, France, former Soviet Union, Ukraine)). No evaluation has been made of any possible positive economic impact of this species (e.g. as a source of useful products, as a provider of checks and balances within its ecosystem, etc.), although Kvach et al. (2014) observed that it parasitizes some invasive fish, and so may have potential as part of an integrated biological control programme.
