New Host Records

This study provides an update on the ectoparasites (ticks and leeches) associated with Rhinoclemmys annulata and provides new accounts on the ectoparasites associated with R. nasuta, R. melanosterna andKinosternon leucostomum from the Pacific coast of Colombia. The presence ofAmblyomma sabanerae on R. nasuta and R. melanosterna provided two new host records for the tick species. Also, the documentation ofA. sabanerae from the Department of Valle del Cauca represents a new department record for the species in Colombia. Placobdella ringueleti was identified fromR. nasuta and K. leucostomum, which represents a new host record for the leech species, as well as a significant extension of the known range.

Faunal Survey

This paper constitutes the first ectoparasite faunal survey of bats for Marinduque Island, Philippines. From 1–12 June 2010, 150 bats belonging to 11 species were captured in 11 caves on the island. Each bat was sampled for ectoparasitic arthropods, and a total of 587 individuals representing 21 species, belonging to five families (Acari: Argasidae and Spinturnicidae; Diptera: Nycteribiidae and Streblidae; and Siphonaptera: Ischnopsyllidae) were collected. New host records (new host record) in the Philippines for Brachytarsina cucullata Jobling 1934, B. proxima Jobling 1951, B. werneri Jobling 1951, Raymondia pseudopagodarum Jobling 1951, Eucampsipoda philippinensis Ferris 1924, Nycteribia allotopa Speiser 1901, Nycteribia allotopoides Theodor 1963, Nycteribia parvuloides Theodor 1963, Ancystropus taprobanius (Turk 1950), and Carios batuensis Hirst 1929 were documented. A checklist of the ectoparasitic species known from the Philippines, their distribution, and bat host species is provided.

The following helminth parasites have been recorded from Cetacea caught off the British Columbia coast. Trematoda: Lecithodesmus goliath (fin whale), Lecithodesmus spinosus n. sp. (sei whale) and Ogmogaster plicatus (fin and sei whales); Cestoda: Phyllobothrium delphini (sperm and fin whales); Nematoda: Anisakis simplex (sei, Baird's beaked and sperm whales), Anisakis physeteris (sperm whale), immature Anisakis sp. (fin and humpback whales) and Crassicauda pacifica n. sp. (fin whale); Acanthocephala: Bolbosoma turbinella (sei whale). Crassicauda pacifica and L. spinosus are illustrated and described, and compared with known species of their respective genera. The variations in morphology and measurements are discussed for O. plicatus. Notes on host and geographical distribution are cited for all parasites. Lecithodesmus goliath and O. plicatus are reported for the first time from the Pacific and P. delphini was previously unknown in the North Pacific. Bolbosoma turbinella is a new record for the northeast Pacific and A. physeteris for the Pacific coast of Canada. Baird's beaked whale and possibly the sperm whale are new host records for A. simplex. The fin whale is a new host record for P. delphini and L. goliath.

New Host Records

Taenia mustelae Gmelin, 1790 (= T. tenuicollis Rudolphi, 1819) is proposed as the valid name for the small-hooked cestode from European brown weasel, and Taenia martis (Zeder, 1803) n. comb. (= T. intermedia Rudolphi, 1810) is proposed for the large-hooked cestode from European marten. T. mustelae adults were found naturally in the short-tailed weasel, Mustela erminea, and T. martis adults in the pine marten, Martes americana in North America; the latter constitutes a new host record. Larvae were recovered from 10 species of rodents of which Citellus franklinii, Eutamias minimus, Marmota monax, Tamias striatus, Synaptomys cooperi, and Zapus hudsonius are new host records. Experimental infections produced by feeding T. mustelae eggs were followed in eight species of rodents. In one animal mature scoleces occurred as early as 26 days after eggs were fed, yet no fully developed scoleces were present even after 104 days in another animal in the same feeding. Such feedings of eggs produced multiscolex larvae (up to 26 scoleces), or multiscolex and uniscolex larvae simultaneously, but never uniscolex larvae exclusively, although these were found occasionally in nature. Normal, fully developed scoleces were present on larvae 318 days old. Growth of T. mustelae larvae in Peromyscus maniculatus and the host reaction is described in detail. Multiscolex larvae from a natural infection fed to a mink produced adult T. mustelae.

AbstractSix species of Bucephalidae are reported: Subfamily Bucephalinae: Bucephalus sphyraenae Yamaguti, 1952 from Sphyraena obtusata and S. chrysotaenia (Sphyraenidae) (new host records); Bucephalus margaritae Ozaki and Ishibashi, 1934 from Atropus atropos, Scomberoides commersonianus, Carangoides malabaricus (Carangidae), Gerres filamentosus (Gerreidae) (new host record) and Sphyraena jello (new host record); Rhipidocotyle pseudorhombi n. sp. from Pseudorhombus arsius is characterized by and differs from its congeners by several characteristics including an elongate body, a rhynchus with 7 thin papillae, a long tuular caecum extending posteriorly to the ovarian level, goads in the posterior half of the body, and contiguous testes not separated by uterine coils. More specifically it differs from R. heptathelata and R. septapapillata by having a long cirrus sac relative to body length, tandem and more anterior testes. Subfamily Prosorhynchinae: Prosorhynchus pacificus Manter, 1940 from Epinephelus tauvina (Serranidae) and Gnathonodon speciosus (Carangidae) (new host record); P. epinepheli Yamaguti, 1939 from Epinephelus areolatus; P. manteri Srivastava, 1938 from Trichiurus lepturus (Trichiuridae). All species, except Prosorhynchus epinepheli represent new records from the Arabian Gulf.

New Host Records

Helminths of six species are reported from the brown bear, Ursus arctos L., from the Taigonos Peninsula, northeastern Siberia. Trematodes of four species represent new host records: Microphallus pirum (Afanas'ev, 1941); Maritrema afanassjewi Belopol'skaia, 1952; Phocitrema fusiforme Goto and Ozaki, 1930; and Cryptocotyle lingua (Creplin, 1825). Nematodes of two species, Molineus patens (Dujardin, 1845) and Uncinaria yukonensis (Wolfgang, 1956), constitute respectively a new host record and a new record for Eurasia. The parasite–host relationships of these helminths are reviewed.

New Host Records

Examination of 223 red-winged blackbirds revealed seven trematodes of which Zonorchis petiolatum, Leucochloridium macrostomum, Tanaisia (Tamerlania) zarudnyi, and Tanaisia (Tanaisia) fedtschenkoi are new host records; three cestodes of which Anomotaenia sp. is a new host record; and six nematodes of which Dispharynx nasuta, Diplotriaena bargusinica, and Tetrameres sp. are new host records. Only one acanthocephalan, Mediorhynchus grandis, and three blood protozoa were found. Two protozoa, Parahaemoproteus (= Haemoproteus) orizivora and Plasmodium vaughani, are new host records. The 12 ectoparasites included two new host records, Ceratophyllus garei and Sternostoma tracheacolum. Four nonparasitic organisms were recovered, none of which have been reported associated with this bird.The most common parasites were the trematode Plagiorchis noblei, the louse Brüelia sp., and the feather mite Proctophyllodes egglestoni. Each showed a characteristic seasonal pattern. Ectoparasites were most abundant prior to host breeding, and endoparasites during the host breeding period. Ten species of parasites were ubiquitous according to Dogiel's classification, nine were breeding-site or northern parasites, three were probably migratory, and eight were wintering or southern parasites. Eight other species were tentatively classified according to Dogiel's system, and one species could not be classified.The highest intake of animal food by the host coincided with the peak of endoparasitism.

Contracaecum Osculatum

From Phoca vitulina richardi the following parasites are recorded: Corynosoma strumosum (Acanthocephala); Terranova decipiens and Contracaecum osculatum (Nematoda); Halarachne sp. (Acarina); Echinophthirius horridus (Anoplura). From Eumetopias jubata are recorded Diphyllobothrium pacificum, Diplogonoporus tetrapterus and Abothrium gadi (Cestoda); T. decipiens, C. osculatum and Parafilaroides sp. (Nematoda); Corynosoma villosum (Acanthocephala); Orthohalarachne diminuata (Acarina): Antarctophthirus microchir (Anoplura). E. jubata is probably not a true host of A. gadi, the parasite apparently being introduced by ingestion of infected fishes of the family Gadidae, the normal definitive hosts. Notes on host and geographical distribution, nomenclature and morphology of the parasites are included. Diphyllobothrium pacificum is a new combination for Adenocephalus pacificus. E. jubata is a new host record for D. pacificum, D. tetrapterus and O. diminuata. Several new geographical records are reported. The occurrence of larval stages of T. decipiens and C. strumosum in fishes is noted.

Low Incidence

Sea mussels form dense aggregations on temperate rocky shores; however, in the absence of such firm substrates, biogenic surface such as the calcified integument of crustaceans may become settlement sites for their larvae. In this paper we present the first report on the association between the California musselMytilus californianusConrad, 1837 and the Pacific sand crabEmerita analoga(Stimpson, 1857), collected from a sandy beach in Monterey Bay, California, U.S.A. We examined 63 crabs, and three had epibiotic mussels attached on their lateroventral surfaces. The organisms were measured and photographed. Such low incidence rate is tied to the collection site, as sandy beaches are considered atypical habitats for this bivalve species. The occurrence of epibioticM. californianussuggests a random and non-obligatory relationship withE. analoga.
