Vector compatibility of new mexico galba species with the canine schistosome heterobilharzia americana, including the first report of galba schirazensis as a compatible host
J Parasitol. 2023 Dec 1;109(6):633-637. doi: 10.1645/23-50.ABSTRACTThe indigenous North American mammalian schistosome Heterobilharzia americana has recently attracted attention for causing outbreaks in dogs in states outside of its southeastern U.S. distribution. Although H. americana has yet to be reported in New Mexico, we examined 2 New Mexico isolates of Galba snails to determine their susceptibility to experimental infection with an isolate of H. americana from Utah. One of the Galba isolates from the Rio Grande bosque in the Albuquerque suburb of Corrales was identified as Galba humilis, and like specimens of the sa...

Co-infection with malaria and intestinal parasites and its association with anemia in children (zero to ten years old) in tiko subdivision, cameroon
This study determined the prevalence of co-infection with malaria and intestinal parasitic infections and determined its association with anemia in children (0-10 yr) in Tiko, Cameroon. A hospital-based cross-sectional study was carried out whereby venous blood and stool samples were collected from 377 febrile children. Blood was used to perform a full blood count. Thick and thin blood films were prepared and stained with Giemsa for malaria parasite diagnosis. The formol ether concentration technique was used to analyze the stools. Pearson's chi-square test, Student's t-test, and other statistical analyses were performed. ...

Sarcocystis and other parasites in feces of bobcats (lynx rufus) from mississippi
J Parasitol. 2023 Dec 1;109(6):638-642. doi: 10.1645/23-95.ABSTRACTRectal contents of 56 adult bobcats (Lynx rufus) in 2014 and 2017 from remote areas of Mississippi were examined microscopically for parasite stages after the sugar flotation method. Among the helminths, eggs/larvae found were: Paragonimus sp. in 12, Toxocara cati-like in 16, trichurid-capillarid-like in 3, hookworms in 27, and lungworms in 28. Among the protozoa, oocysts/cysts found were: Cystoisospora felis-like in 2, Cystoisospora rivolta-like in 4, Cryptosporidium sp. in 1, and Giardia sp. in 1. Additionally, numerous Sarcocystis sporocysts were detecte...

Molecular phylogenetic analysis of gyrinicola batrachiensis (nematoda: oxyuroidea) lends support to the monophyly of the genus and the resurrection of gyrinicolinae
J Parasitol. 2023 Dec 1;109(6):622-632. doi: 10.1645/22-108.ABSTRACTGyrinicola Yamaguti, 1938, includes 6 species of oxyurid found within the intestinal tract of numerous, larval, anuran species in Europe, Asia, South America, and North America. The systematic placement and hierarchical treatment of the genus has shifted at least 5 times since its discovery; the group was first considered as its own family (Gyrinicolidae), then treated as a subfamily (Gyrinicolinae) of Cosmocercidae, then as a member of the Pharyngodonidae, followed by movement back to the Cosmocercidae, and finally a recent proposal suggested the resurrec...
