Nematocystis vinodae n. sp. (Protozoa, Apicomplexa, Eugregarinida), a monocystid gregarine from Eutyphoeus nicholsoni (Beddard).
OBJECTIVE Biodiversity studies in search of endoparasitic acephaline gregarines revealed a new species under the genus Nematocystis Hesse, 1909. METHODS The species has been obtained from the seminal vesicles of the earthworm, Eutyphoeus nicholsoni (Beddard). RESULTS AND CONCLUSION Gamonts of this species are solitary and bear a perfect nematoid appearance with smoothly curved terminals, es...
متن کاملThe Life Cycle and Fitness of Gregarine (Apicomplexa)Parasites
Theoretical demographic models with an accompanying experimental program provide an important framework to study the life history of organisms. In this paper we seek to understand the fitness characteristics of gregarine parasites and how they are shaped by their own life cycle stages inside and outside an insect host. The population model is a continuous time dynamics for the parasite stages, ...
متن کاملInfection of mice with Neospora caninum (Protozoa: Apicomplexa) does not protect against challenge with Toxoplasma gondii.
Neospora caninum and Toxoplasma gondii are structurally related protozoal parasites of mammals that may cause abortion and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Groups of mice were subcutaneously inoculated with 10(5) live zoites of the NC-1 or NC-3 isolates of N. caninum and reinoculated with an identical number of live zoites 2 weeks later. Groups of mice which were injected subcutaneously with H...
متن کاملComparative Efficacy of Four Antimicrobials against Keratophilic Fungi
Comparative efficacy of miconazole nitrate, graphite, Thuja and Chrysorobin ointments was assessed against three keratinophillic fungi, viz., Trichophyton terrestris, Chrysosporium tropicum and Microsporum gypseum. All the test fungi were sensitive to the anti microbials tested in the present study. Miconazole nitrate, showed the maximum activity followed by Graphite, and Thuja, whereas the min...
متن کاملAntibodies against Apicomplexa protozoa and absence sarcocysts in heart tissues from horses in southern Brazil.
Sarcocystis spp., Neospora spp., and Toxoplasma gondii are Apicomplexa protozoa that can infect horses. This study aimed to investigate the occurrence of antibodies against Sarcocystis spp., Neospora spp., and T. gondii in horses slaughtered in southern Brazil. The presence of histological lesions, tissue cysts, and Sarcocystis spp. DNA in the hearts of these horses was also investigated. A tot...
