Sphaerospora epinepheli n. sp. is described from grouper, Epinephelus malabaricus, in cage-cultured and wild fish collected from both coastal lines of southern Thailand. Subspherical to spherical spores and mono- or disporous pseudoplasmodia were observed in the lumen of kidney tubules. Pseudoplasmodia were round to elongate, size range 15.6-22.9 microns (length) x 8.4-21.6 microns (width). Spo...

To investigate the increased susceptibility to infection of very immature preterm neonates, neutrophil chemotaxis, Mac-1 adhesion receptor expression, and adherence to human umbilical vein endothelial cell monolayers (HUVE) were examined in neonates born at less than or equal to 32 weeks' gestation. Chemotaxis of neutrophils from well preterm neonates towards casein or zymosan activated serum (...
