Damselflies (Zygoptera) as paratenic hosts for Serpinema trispinosum and its report from turtle hosts from Oklahoma, USA.
Third-stage larvae of the nematode Serpinema trispinosum (Leidy, 1852) were collected from the midgut of four of five species of adult damselflies (Zygoptera) from a non-irrigated restored semipermanent wetland located in Stillwater, Oklahoma, USA. Of the four infected damselfly species, prevalence and mean abundance was highest for the southern spreadwing, Lestes disjunctus australis Walker (1...
متن کاملThe role of damselflies (Odonata: Zygoptera) as paratenic hosts in the transmission of Halipegus eccentricus (Digenea: Hemiuridae) to anurans.
Halipegus eccentricus is a common hemiurid trematode in the eustachian tubes of North America frogs. However, the life cycle of this species has never been completely elucidated. Studies on H. eccentricus suggest that it has a 3-host life cycle. Here, we show through fieldwork and host specificity experimental infections that the life cycle of Halipegus eccentricus utilizes 4 hosts. Metamorphos...
متن کاملThe first record of amphibians as paratenic hosts of Serpinema larvae (Nematoda; Camallanidae).
Until now the third-stage larvae of Serpinema trispinosum (Leidy, 1852) was only found infecting aquatic snail and planktonophagous fish as paratenic hosts (Bartlett and Anderson, 1985; Moravec et al., 1998). The life cycle of this nematode is unknown. Apparently, the freshwater turtles may become infected by ingestion of zooplankton intermediate hosts (e.g., copepods) or by feeding on parateni...

متن کاملPila ampullacea and Pomacea canaliculata, as new paratenic hosts of Gnathostoma spinigerum.
Aquatic snails, Pila ampullacea and Pomacea canaliculata were experimentally found to be suitable paratenic hosts for advanced third-stage larvae (L3) of the nematode Gnathostoma spinigerum, the causative parasite of gnathostomiasis in humans. G. spinigerum (L3) were found to be encapsulated in the tissue of the snail's foot and its internal organs. The infection, intensity and survival of thir...
