A survey was performed to investigate the infection status of zoonotic trematode (ZT) metacercariae in fish from a local market in Yangon City, Myanmar. A total of 264 fish (12 species) were collected through 4 times from December 2013 to June 2015. All collected fish were transferred to our laboratory on ice and examined by the artificial digestion method. More than 7 species of ZT metacercari...

We address the problem of fair medium access control in multi-hop Aloha networks, with the objective of achieving proportionally fair rates. We consider a general multi-hop wireless network, and show how the attempt probabilities/attempt rates in Aloha protocols should be set so that the achieved rates are globally proportionally fair. For both slotted and unslotted Aloha, we argue that it is p...

The prevalence of foodborne trematode (FBT) metacercariae was investigated in fish from 2 localities of northern Vietnam in 2004-2005. Freshwater fish (9 species) were collected from local markets in Hanoi City (n=76) and Nam Dinh Province (n=79), and were examined for FBT metacercariae using the artificial digestion technique. Adult flukes were obtained from hamsters experimentally infected wi...

Stellantchasmus falcatus is a minute intestinal fluke in the family Heterophyidae. Metacercariae, the infective stage, were reported in a marine fish, mullet Liza subviridis, and a fresh water fish, Dermogenus pusillus, in Thailand. Adults were found in chicks, rats, cats, and humans. Morphological studies were done for comparing Stellantchasmus sp. worms found in 2 different fish hosts; their ...

This paper presents an overview of the nominotypical subgenus of the genus Ventocoris Hahn, 1834 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomidae: Podopinae); the two species are identified, redescribed, illustrated, and keyed. Species of the sub-genus Astirocoris Jakovlev, 1894 known in Turkey are redescribed, a key is provided for the Turkish species of Ventocoris. Ventocoris trigonus (Krynicki, 1871), ...

This study investigates the upcycling of nutrients in anaerobic digestate via algal biomass to zooplankton which is a natural fish feed. There are no published studies, authors’ knowledge, on viability growing digestate-grown algae. Here, Chlorella sorokiniana as feed for large-bodied generalist zooplankter, Daphnia, was tested. It found that Daphnia fed with C. led 1.5- 14-fold greater populat...
