INFECCIÓN POR STYPHLOTREMA SOLITARIA LOOSS, 1899 (DIGENEA, STYPHLOTREMATIDAE) EN ERETMOCHELYS IMBRICATA LINNAEUS 1758 (TESTUDINES, CHELONIDAE) EN BRASIL

First report of Monticellius indicum Mehra, 1939 (Digenea: Spirorchiidae) infecting Chelonia mydas Linnaeus, 1758 (Testudines: Chelonidae) from Brazil.

The family Spirorchiidae includes trematodes of freshwater and marine chelonian blood vessels. Up to now, Learedius learedi Price, 1934 has been the only species of this family described in Brazil (Werneck et al., 2006). The present study reports for the first time the occurrence of Monticellius indicum Mehra, 1939 in Brazilian waters. Specimens of M. indicum were collected from the heart of tw...

A survey of the epibiota of Eretmochelys imbricata (Testudines: Cheloniidae) of Mona Island, Puerto Rico.

Epibiotic organisms inhabiting non-nesting hawksbill sea turtles, Eretmochelys imbricata (Linnaeus, 1766), are described from Mona and Monito Islands, Puerto Rico. Epibiont samples from 105 turtles of shallow (< 40 m) water foraging habitats were collected and identified to the lowest possible taxon. This epibiotic assemblage consisting of at least 4 algal functional groups and 12 animal phyla ...

—This research describes the method of combining traditional authentication (password and username) with biometric technology, specifically fingerprint authentication. This authentication model is applied in distance education where courses are developed in learning management systems. It introduces the features of distance education as well as the biometric sensor operation. It describes the c...

Differentiation of Mexican species of Haematoloechus looss, 1899 (Digenea: Plagiorchiformes): molecular and morphological evidence.

Molecular evidence is interpreted in the light of morphology to examine the validity of several species of Haematoloechus described as Mexican endemics. Internal transcribed spacers 1 and 2 and 28S ribosomal genes were sequenced for 11 isolates. Phylogenetic analysis of separate partitions and combined databases was conducted. Results were analyzed, in the light of morphological evidence. Haema...
