The cyst, presumably formed by secretions of the metacercarial tegument, consists of 2 layers: the outer, very thin layer of an electron-dense, finely granular substance and the inner layer composed of loose material of a moderate electron density that includes dense bodies varying in size, shape, and localization. The capsule, formed by the host's cells, is also organized into 2 distinct layers. The inner layer of the capsule is loose, consisting of evenly spaced debris of degenerated cells and lipid droplets with inclusions of intact macrophages between them. The outer layer of the capsule consists of parallel rows of cells arranged around the parasite, with fibroblasts and macrophages being dominant types and granulocytes and lymphocytes found in smaller numbers. Aggregations of collagen fibers are located in narrow spaces between the cells. The number of lipid droplets in the outer layer is significantly smaller than in the inner layer. The capsules formed around the examined trematodes have several structural features that distinguish them from those of S. baccatum and Stephanostomum sp. metacercariae recovered from other fishes of the family Pleuronectidae. The major morphological features of such capsules are the lack of epithelioid or giant multinucleated cells and the presence of numerous lipid droplets.

Hassalstrongylus aduncus is a parasitic nematode of rodents from the subfamilies Arvicolinae, Murinae, and Sigmodontinae, and has been recorded from southern Virginia and Oklahoma to Costa Rica. This species was described by Chandler in 1932; the morphology of the synlophe was not included. Subsequently, in 1972, Durette-Desset described only the synlophe of the middle region of the body in both sexes. Despite its wide geographical distribution, to date, there has been no redescription that includes information complementary to the morphology of the synlophe, such as a study of the body surface or a molecular phylogenetic analysis. We reevaluated the morphology of some specimens that were presumably similar to H. aduncus parasite of Sigmodon sp. from Jalisco, Mexico, and it was determined that these corresponded to an undescribed species of the genus. Herein, we present a redescription of H. aduncus parasite of Sigmodon toltecus from Hidalgo, Mexico, with morphological traits such as the excretory pore, deirids, and ovijector, and provide a description of the synlophe in the anterior and posterior regions of both sexes and include scanning electron microscopy images. Hassalstrongylus geolayarum n. sp. is differentiated from H. aduncus by the number of ridges in the middle region of the body (23 vs. 21), as well as proportions between some traits of males and females such as total length/spicule length, total length/gubernaculum length, total length/length of the esophagus and total length/distance of the vulva and the size of the eggs (42 vs. 58 μm).

An understudied aspect of fire ecology is the effect fires have on parasite-host interactions, including ectoparasites that might be pathogen vectors. Although some studies have examined the impacts of fire on ticks, studies on other ectoparasites, including pathogen vectors, are rare. To help address this knowledge gap, we examined the abiotic and biotic factors that predict the likelihood and extent of parasitism of deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) by fleas within a landscape of unburned and recovering burned (>9 yr postfire) mixed conifer forests. We sampled 227 individual deer mice across 27 sites within the Jemez Mountains of northern New Mexico in 2022 and quantified measures of parasitism by fleas (primarily Aetheca wagneri). These sites were distributed in both unburned areas (n = 15) and recovering burned areas (n = 12), with the latter derived from 2 large fires, the Las Conchas fire (2011) and the Thompson Ridge fire (2013). Using these data, we tested for differences in prevalence, mean abundance, and mean intensity of fleas on deer mice, focusing on the predictive importance of host sex and fire history. We also created generalized linear mixed-effects models to investigate the best host and environmental predictors of parasitism by fleas. Approximately a decade postfire, we found minimal evidence to suggest that fire history influenced either the presence or intensity of fleas on deer mice. Rather, at the current forest-regeneration stage, the extent of parasitism by fleas was best predicted by measures of host sex, body condition, and the trapline's ability to accumulate water, as measured through topography. As host body condition increased, the probability of males being parasitized increased, whereas the opposite pattern was seen for females. Male mice also had significantly greater flea loads. Among potential abiotic predictors, the topographic wetness index or compound topographic index (a proxy for soil moisture) was positively related to flea intensity, suggesting larger flea populations in burrows with higher relative humidity. In summary, although fire may potentially have short-term impacts on the likelihood and extent of host parasitism by fleas, in this recovering study system, host characteristics and topographic wetness index are the primary predictors of parasitism by fleas.</p>","PeriodicalId":16659,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Parasitology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142000187","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Intraspecific transmission between hosts appears to occur exclusively through sexual copulation, yet it is unclear how worms are transferred between different host species. Our research aims to test the possibility of oral transmission of C. penneri using experimental infections. The lizards Anolis sagrei, Leiocephalus carinatus, Hemidactylus mabouia, and Agama picticauda were experimentally exposed to C. penneri in 1 of these groups: (1) oral infection using a feces and saline slurry to approximate host coprophagy, (2) oral infection with a large meal to approximate host predation, and (3) venereal infection using a pipette to confirm sexual transmission. Experimental infections to test venereal transmission were successful in A. sagrei, A. picticauda, and H. mabouia, but were unable to establish infections in L. carinatus. In the predation exposures, A. picticauda, A. sagrei, and H. mabouia hosted infections, whereas L. carinatus were uninfected. Finally, coprophagy experimental infections did not result in infections for any species of host. Our study corroborates venereal transmission of C. penneri in multiple species of lizards and establishes predation as an alternative route of infection.
