Background: Gnathiids are considered excellent ectoparasites widely distributed along the fish body with a biphasic life cycle including parasitic larval stages and free-living adults. This study focused on gnathiids infecting brown-spotted grouper confirming identity of host species. Methods: Twenty Epinephelus chlorostigma (Serranidae) were collected from Red Sea Coast (especially off Jeddah,...

This article aims to present controversy surrounding current desire disorder criteria listed in DSM IV. Developed by Masters and Jonhson in 1996, completed later by Kaplan in 1974, the human sexual response cycle which is the basis for contemporary desire disorder criteria, in some aspects stands in opposition to the results of the newest research.

The promising results obtained with certain organic phosphorus compounds such as Dow-ET-14 and Dow-ET-57 against Hypoderma sp. (McGregor, Radeleff & Bushland, 1954; McGregor & Bushland, 1957; Adkins, 1957; Roth & Gaines, 1957), indicated the possible use of these systemic insecticides for the treatment of specific oculo-vascular myiasis (Basson, 1962). The heavy losses sustained by the farmers ...

During parasitological surveys in the Okavango Delta and Panhandle in Botswana, two species of climbing perches belonging to the family Anabantidae were investigated for ectoparasites. The fishes were the blackspot climbing perch, Microctenopoma intermedium (Pellegrin) and the manyspined climbing perch, Ctenopoma multispine Peters. Five trichodinid species were found from the skin, fins and gil...
