Developmental stages of Caligus epidemicus Hewitt,a copepod parasite of tilapia cultured in brackish water

The larval development of Caligus epidemicus comprises ten stages: two nauplii, one copepodid, six chalimus, and one preadult (young adult) stages. The morphology of each of these ten instars is described based on material reared from eggs in the laboratory. Addition of fifth and sixth chalimus stages in the ontogeny of C. epidemicus is discussed in the light of the developmental changes in the leg armature. Some peculiarities about the structure of the frontal filament in various chalimus stages are also discussed.

Gastrointestinal helminths of nine species of Cnemaspis (Squamata: Gekkonidae) from Peninsular Malaysia,one species from Cambodia and Thailand and two species from Vietnam

A total of 12 species of Cnemaspis (N = 104) from Southeast Asia were examined for gastrointestinal helminths. Samples consisted of nine species (n = 86) from Peninsular Malaysia: Cnemaspis affinis (n = 4); Cnemaspis baueri (n = 17); Cnemaspis biocellata (n = 12); Cnemaspis grismeri (n = 8); Cnemaspis kumpoli (n = 11); Cnemaspis limi (n = 9): Cnemaspis monachorum (n = 7); Cnemaspis pemanggilensis (n = 10); Cnemaspis peninsularis (n = 8); one species (n = 5) from Cambodia and Thailand, Cnemaspis chanthaburiensis (n = 5); and two species (n = 13) from Vietnam: Cnemaspis nuicamensis (n = 6) and Cnemaspis tucdupensis (n = 7). The aggregate helminth community consisted of one species of Cestoda, Cylindrotaenia malayi and nine species of Nematoda: Bakeria schadi, Meteterakis singaporensis, Parapharyngodon maplestoni, Maxvachonia sp., Physalopteroides sp., Physalopteridae gen. sp., Riticulariidae gen. sp., Seuratoidea gen. sp., Ascaridoidea gen. sp. Meteterakis singaporensis had the largest number of individuals (457) and greatest prevalence (24%). Twenty-eight new host records are reported.     

高k栅MOSFET栅–源/漏寄生电容的半解析模型

文章针对高k栅MOSFET的栅介质层及其侧壁掩蔽层提出了一个二维定解问题,求出了二维电势和电荷分布.文章根据栅极电荷与栅源及栅漏电压关系,提出了MOSFET的栅极和源极/漏极之间的寄生电容的模型,用半解析法计算了这些寄生电容,得到了寄生电容与几何尺寸之间的关系.文章的计算结果表明改变栅极电介质常数可以得到一个寄生电容的最小值,计算结果与CST仿真结果能够很好地符合.     

The life-cycle of Ergasilus sieboldi Nordmann (Copepoda: Poecilostomatoida), parasitic on British freshwater fish

The free-living stages in the life-cycle of Ergasilus sieboldi are described in detail. The life-cycle comprises six nauplius stages, five copepodid stages, and the adults. The naupliar dorsal organ is studied by scanning electron microscopy. This organ is retained in the first copepodid stage but lost in subsequent stages. The male maxilliped appears late in development, at copepodid V, and is fully functional after the final moult into the adult. The maxillipeds are missing in females.     

Evidence of a parasite protist in Eurhomalea lenticularis (Sowerby, 1835) (Mollusca: Bivalvia): A case of intraoocytarian parasitism

In the present paper a microsporidian parasitic protist is described and characterized; it was observed in oocytes of Eurhomalea lenticularis Sowerby. The clams were obtained in Algarrobo, Chile (33°20′S, 71°40′W). The observations were made on 5?µm sections of female clam gonads, processed by routine histological techniques with ARTETA trichromic stain. According to the parasite's characteristics, it is established that the microsporidian protist is related to the genus Steinhausia (Chytridiopsidae). Microsporidian prevalence reached 20.6% (n?=?34) in summer months, but there was no evidences of cell damage in the oocyte of the host; in a total of 66 female clams, a 10.6% of infection was detected between December 1995 and August 1996. The infection intensity showed that 77.4% of the infested acini had single parasitized oocytes, and 88.0% of total oocytes parasitized contained only one cyst in the cytoplasm.

Immunomodulatory properties of cystatins

Cystatins are natural tight-binding reversible inhibitors of cysteine proteases. Because these cysteine proteases exist in all living organisms and because they are involved in various biological and pathological processes, the control of these protease functions by cystatins is of cardinal importance. Cystatins are found in mammals but cystatin-like molecules are also present in mammals and parasites. In the immune system, cystatins modulate cathepsin activities and antigen presentation. They also induce tumor necrosis factor α and interleukin 10 synthesis, and they stimulate nitric oxide production by interferon γ-activated murine macrophages. In turn, nitric oxide has inhibitory activity on cysteine proteases, especially those from parasitic protozoa. Cystatins isolated from parasitic nematodes also have immunomodulatory activities that are distinguishable from those induced by lipopolysacharide-like molecules from endosymbiotic bacteria. On the whole, cystatins and cystatin-like molecules belong to a new category of immunomodulatory molecules. Doubtless increasing data will improve our knowledge of this property, leading to practical applications in immunotherapy.
