New Host Records

In order to contribute to the knowledge on helminth parasites of freshwater fishes in Mexico, the helminth fauna of the cyprinid fish Notropis moralesi was studied. The helminth species Bothriocephalus acheilognathi and Rhabdochona canadensis were recovered from 20 examined hosts. Values of prevalence, abundance and mean intensity of each infection are provided. Present work represents the first helminthological study for N. moralesi. Therefore, both helminth species recorded are new host records. This is the second report of B. acheilognathi and the first of R. canadensis for the state of Puebla.

New Host Records

SummaryIn the years 2010 and 2014, fifty-four samples ofPhoenicolacerta laevisfrom eight localities in Adana (n=6) and Hatay (n=48) were collected and examined for helminth parasites. New host and locality records were recorded. As a results of present study, three species of Digenea,Sonsinotrema tacapense, Prosthodendrium chilostomum, Brachylaimasp. (metacercaria); two species of Cestoda,Oochoristica tuberculataandMesocestoides sp. and four species of Nematoda,Skrjabinodon medinae, Spauligodon sp.,Thubunaea sp. and a larva of the AscaridiidaeAscarididaegen.sp. were reported for lizard samples. We document new host records for all of helminth species reported here.Sonsionotrema tacapense(Digenea), andThubunaea sp. (Nematoda) are recorded for the first time from Turkey. There are, to our knowledge, no reports of helminths forP. laevisin Turkey and also from its range.

Using available records, unpublished information retrieved from the Helminthological Collection of the Oswaldo Cruz Institute (CHIOC) and published reports, a checklist of the recorded helminth parasites of endangered vertebrates from Brazil was generated. A total of 772 records and 186 helminth species (6 Acanthocephala, 83 Nematoda, 23 Cestoda, 64 Trematoda, 10 Monogenea) in 76 host species (7 Actinopterygii, 8 Chondrichthyes, 1 Amphibia, 10 Reptilia, 22 Aves, 28 Mammalia) from Brazil were listed in the present work, including 39 undetermined helminth species and 10 new host records. This is the first compilation of the helminth parasites of threatened vertebrates in Brazil and in the Neotropics.

Abstract Forty five specimens representing nine species of reptile (Salvator merianae, Enyalius bilineatus, Amphisbaena alba, Xenopholis undulatus, Chironius fuscus, Helicops angulatus, Chironius flavolineatus, Erythrolamprus viridis and Crotalus durissus) collected in five Brazilian states were examined for helminths. Twelve helminth species were found as follow: nine Nematoda (Physaloptera tupinambae, Strongyluris oscari, Paracapillaria sp., Dracunculus brasiliensis, Physaloptera liophis, Serpentirhabias sp. 1, Serpentirhabias sp. 2, Serpentirhabias sp. 3 and Aplectana sp.), one Cestoda (Semenoviella amphisbaenia), one Trematoda (Paracotyletrema sp.), and one Acantocephala (Centrorhynchus sp.). Ten new host records and seven new locality records were reported.

Five species of nematodes (Hadjelia pyrrhonotae sp. n., Acuaria sp., Microtetrameres inermis, Splendidofilaria sp., Diplotriaena sp.); four species of trematodes (Concinnum minor sp. n., Brachylecithum marinholutzi, Plagiorchis maculosus, Stomylotremagratiosus); and two species of acanthocephala.(Mediorhynchusgrandis, Mediorhynchus papillosus (juveniles)) were recovered. All eleven species of helminths represent new host records. Six new records (Hadjelia pyrrhonota, Microtetrameres inermis, Concinnum minor, Brachylecithum marinlwlutzi, Plagiorchis maculosus, Stomylotrema gratiosus) were established for Colorado. Five new records (Hadjelia pyrrhonota, Microtetrameres inermis, Concinnum minor, Brachylecithum marinlwlutzi were established for North America.

AbstractNinety-five specimens from 13 species of lizard collected during a herpetofaunal monitoring programme of the Faxinal II power plant, municipality of Aripuanã, state of Mato Grosso, Brazil (southern Amazon region) were examined for helminths. A total of 21 helminth species (16 Nematoda, 1 Cestoda and 4 Trematoda) were recovered, with an overall prevalence of 67.37%. Seventeen new host records and seven new locality records are reported. A low number of specialists and core helminth species were found. Lizard body size was positively correlated with both the total number of helminth species and individuals. Active foragers exhibited higher helminth diversity. However, sit-and-wait foragers, especially Plica plica, had similar diversity values as active foragers and harboured more helminth species. The degree of similarity in helminth fauna was higher among closely related host species.

Forty-six Tyrannus tyrannus (L.) and 35 Tyrannus verticalis Say from Delta Marsh, Manitoba, were examined for helminths during the summer of 1977. Eighty-three percent of T. tyrannus and 94% of T. verticalis were infected with at least one species of helminth. Nine helminth species (four trematodes, one cestode, three nematodes, and one acanthocephalan) were found, eight from T. tyrannus and seven from T. verticalis. Six species were common to both hosts. Six new host records are reported for Tyrannus tyrannus and seven for T. verticalis. Tyrannus verticalis had a significantly greater total helminth burden than T. tyrannus did. Plagiorchis noblei was the most abundant parasite in each species, accounting for 69% of the helminths of T. tyrannus and 96% of those for T. verticalis (this difference is significant). Plagiorchis noblei was the only helminth found in juvenile hosts.This study further supports the following hypotheses: (1) that P. noblei is a northern parasite transmitted only in breeding habitats of its hosts; (2) that juvenile birds show greater intensities of infection than adults; and (3) that the number of parasite species is greater in adult birds than in juveniles.

Orchopeas intermedius Hubbard and Stenoponia americana (Baker) are recorded for the first time in the country. Fifty per cent (16) of the 32 states in Mexico have 11 or fewer published records. Euhoplopsyllus glacialis affinis (Baker), collected in 1945, is the only flea species known from the state of Aguascalientes.

New Host Records

SUMMARYOf 414 Bermuda fishes, 148 belonging to 13 species harboured Digenea and 11 belonging to 6 species Aspidogastrea, Acanthocephala or nematodes. In a previous paper 69 of these fishes belonging to 20 species were found to contain cestodes. The number of infected species was greatest in the case of cestodes and the number of infected individuals in the case of Digenea. The latter is probably due to the closer proximity, for reasonably long periods, of the various hosts in the life-cycles. Of the 17 species of Digenea 3 are new host records, 3 new locality records and 4 new host and new locality records. New records were found, also, in the other groups of helminths. The digenean fauna of Bermuda fishes most closely resembles that of Dry Tortugas, Florida. Digenea and cestodes were not usually found in the same families of fishes. Cestode larvae were abundant in the deep-water Serranidae and Lutianidae which had no Digenea, the latter being common in Clupeidae, Hae-mulidae and Belonidae, which do not harbour cestodes and which occur, mostly, in the inner reefs and shallows.The functional morphology of the apical disk, tentacles and rhynchus of Alcicornis carangis is described. The tentacles are invaginable and concerned with attachment.I am most grateful to Dr W. H. Sutcliffe Jun., Director of the Bermuda Biological Station, for the excellent facilities provided and to The Shell Grants Committee and The National Science Foundation for grants which made the work possible. I would also like to express my gratitude to all those who kindly helped in the capture of fishes and to Mrs M. Fisher for technical assistance.

SummaryA total of 45 lizards (Acanthodactylus harranensis [n = 15], Acanthodacthylus schreiberi [n = 9] and Mesalina brevirostris [n = 21]) were collected from South and Southeastern Regions of Turkey and examined for helminth fauna. Acanthodactylus harranensis harbored 1 species of Nematoda (Skrjabinodon sp.), 1 species of Cestoda (Oochoristica tuberculata) and 1 species of Acanthocephala (Centrorhynchus sp. [cystacanth]). Acanthodactylus schreiberi harbored unidentified cysticercoids. Mesalina brevirostris harbored 1 species of Nematoda (Spauligodon saxicolae). All lizards represents new host records for the helminths reported in this study.
