Studies on the helminth fauna of Alaska. 43. Strigea macropharynx sp. n., a trematode parasite of Falco rusticolus L.

Strigea macropharynx sp. n. (Trematoda : Strigeata, Strigeidae), an intestinal parasite of Falco rusticolus L., is described. Falconiformes harbor two species of Strigea (S. falconis Szidat, 1928, and S. macroconophora Dubois and Rausch, 1950) with vitellaria terminating near the copulatory bursa. Both differ from the new species in having a pharynx that is smaller than or subequal to the bucca...

Cytotoxic Effects of Iranian Mistletoe Extract on a Panel of Cancer Cells

     Extracts derived from Viscum album have been shown to kill cancer cells in vitro. Some studies have noted that different species of this plant collected from around the world displayed cytotoxic effects in different extents. In the present study, we evaluated the effects of Iranian mistletoe extracts on five cancer cell lines. Plants growing on hornbeam tree (Carpinus...

Impact of two parasitic trematodes, Meiogymnophallus minutus and Himasthla spp., on the growth of the cockle, Cerastoderma edule

The impact of two principal parasitic digenetic trematodes, Meiogymnophallus minutus and Himasthla spp., on the growth (weight and length) of the cockle, Cerastoderma edule, in Arcachon Bay (France) was studied. The experiment was conducted in the land-based mesocosms. The velocity of infestation with both trematodes was far more rapid during summer in the cockles already parasitized with these...

Incidence of Larval Trematodes Infection and Their Seasonal Variations in the Fresh Water Molluscs of Southern · Rajasthan

Dubois (1929), Rees (1932), Wesenburg-Lund (1934), Rothschild (1941), Wikgren (1956), Deforest (1957), Khan (1960a, b), Radke et all (1961), Larson (1961), Ewers (1964) and Basch (1966) have studied the larval trematodes infecting the different molluscan hosts. The seasonal variations of infection of larval trematodes in India have been studied by Soparkar (1921) Sewell (1922), Chatterji . (193...
