Up until now, there have been few studies of the helminth fauna of Brazilian populations of Pogonias cromis. In North America, P. cromis is known to be a definitive host of Cotylogaster basiri, although there have been no reports of any species of Cotylogaster infecting fish in Brazil. During necropsies of marine fish obtained from professional fisherman in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazi...

Three new species in the super family Neotylenchoidea collected in Pakistan during 1979-80 are described. New species Nothotylenchus gohleni is related to N. affinis Thorne, 1941 but is differentiated by its longer, more robust body with tine cuticular annules, a more posterior vulva, inconspicuous basal knobs of the stylet, and poorly developed metacorpal area. N. geraerti and N. tuberosus are...

We read with interest the paper by Basiri and colleagues studying the prevalence of vacA d1 and d2 genotypes in the H pylori isolates from patients with gastric adenocarcinoma, peptic ulcer disease and gastritis in East Azerbaijan region, where the incidence of gastric cancer (GC) is high. They found that 43.4% of the isolate carried the d1 allele and 56.6% carried subtype d2. A significant cor...

Sir, In Urology Journal 2008;5:269-71, Basiri and Radfar reported on the serious but rare complication of spontaneous intraperitoneal bladder rupture following salvage radiotherapy for biochemically recurrent prostate cancer.(1) This was successfully managed by conservative methods. Bladder rupture has been described as a complication of both pelvic external beam radiation therapy and brachythe...

Of the aspidogastrids Multicalyx cristata, Lobatostoma ringens, Cotylogaster basiri, and C. dinosoides sp. n., the last two had not been previously known from the Gulf of Mexico. The latter differs from other members of its genus by having relatively large equatorial marginal alveoli in comparison to those at the anterior and posterior ends of the holdfast. It also possesses extensive transvers...
