Henneguya shackletoni sp. nov. (Myxosporea, Bivalvulida, Myxobolidae) from the Falklands mullet, Eleginops maclovinus (Cuvier) (Teleostei, Eleginopidae) in the Falkland Islands

During a survey of the parasite fauna of the euryhaline notothenioid fish Eleginops maclovinus (Cuvier) caught in brackish water creeks in the Falkland Islands, small white cysts were observed in the mesenteries and on the surfaces of the visceral organs and heart. On dissection these proved to be plasmodia of a species of the myxosporean genus Henneguya. This is the first record of a member of this genus from a marine or euryhaline fish in the south-west Atlantic. A comparison of the spore of our species with other species in the genus convinced us that our species is new. This paper describes it as Henneguya shackletoni sp. nov. after the Shackleton Fund which funded the study.     

A new species of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Falcaustra</Emphasis> (Nematoda,Kathlaniidae) and other nematodes from <Emphasis Type="Italic">Sphenomorphus simus</Emphasis> (Squamata,Scincidae) from Papua New Guinea

Falcaustra papuensis sp. nov. (Ascaridida, Kathlaniidae) from the large intestine of Sphenomorphus simus (Squamata, Sciencidae) is described and illustrated. Falcaustra papuensis represents the 4th Australo-Papuan species assigned to this genus and is distinguished from other Australo-Papuan species by the distribution pattern of caudal papillae (6 precloacal, 6 adcloacal, 8 postcloacal, and 1 median), length of spicules (561–714 μm) and presence of a pseudosucker. Sphenomorphus simus was found to harbor 2 additional species of nematodes, Meteterakis crombiei and Oswaldocruzia bakeri. Sphenomorphus simus represents a new host record for each of these nematode species.     

A new species of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Aplectana</Emphasis> (Nematoda,Cosmocercidae) in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Platymantis boulengeri</Emphasis> (Anura,Ceratobatrachidae) from Papua New Guinea

Aplectana krausi sp. nov. (Ascaridida, Cosmocercidae) from the intestines of Platymantis boulengeri (Anura, Ceratobatrachidae) is described and illustrated. Aplectana krausi represents the 42nd species assigned to the genus, the 4th species reported from the Australo-Papuan region. It is easily separated from the three species previously reported from the region by the distribution pattern of male caudal papillae: A. macintoshii and A. novaezelandiae have irregular patterns; A. zweifeli and A. krausi have defined patterns. Aplectana zweifeli has 8–10 precloacal, no adcloacal, and 9 postcloacal pairs of papillae, there is a single median papillae just anterior to the cloaca; A. krausi has 5 precloacal, 1 adcloacal, and 5 postcloacal pairs of papillae, a median papillae is absent.     

A new species of Stephanostomum Looss, 1899 (Digenea, Acanthocolpidae) with a bizarre oral sucker: S. adlardi sp. nov. from the common coral trout Plectropomus leopardus (Lacepède, 1802) (Perciformes, Serranidae) from Lizard Island, Great Barrier Reef

A new species of Acanthocolpidae, Stephanostomum adlardi is described from the serranid Plectropomus leopardus from Lizard Island in the northern Great Barrier Reef. It differs from all previously described acanthocolpids in the structure of the oral sucker which is extended into dorsal and ventral lobes each bearing a row of spines. A phylogenetic tree estimated from combined nuclear small and partial large ribosomal RNA gene sequences shows that, despite the unusual oral sucker structure, the species is a true member of the genus Stephanostomum. The molecular results also suggest that Monostephanostomum nolani is derived from within Stephanostomum.     

中国台湾孔头舌虫新种的发现及其致病特征

目的?摇探讨中国台湾孔头舌虫新种(Porocephalus taiwana sp. nov.)的形态与致病特征及新病种的病原学诊断方法。 方法 用患者稀便用粪便沉淀浓集法收集粪中若虫鉴定虫种，并结合临床资料作统计分析，以确定此新种所致疾病的临床特征。 结果 发现了舌形虫病的一种致病新种，即为台湾孔头舌虫，其所致的疾病称台湾孔头舌虫病。根据本例的发现，提出传统的内脏舌形虫病可分为2个亚型，成囊亚型和脱囊亚型。根据其病理学特征，本病例属于脱囊型内脏舌形虫病。 结论 描述了台湾孔头舌虫新种，其所致的台湾孔头舌虫病属于一种新型脱囊亚型性内脏舌形虫病。     

亳菊的化学成分及分析方法研究进展

根据文献资料,该文综述了近10年来关于亳菊化学成分和质量分析方法的研究,了解亳菊药材化学成分及分析方法。亳菊化学成分包括挥发油类、黄酮类、有机酸类、氨基酸类、糖类及微量元素等,TLC、HPLC、GC-MS、FT-IR、1H-NMR以及电化学指纹图谱等现代多种分析方法已被使用在亳菊的鉴定、鉴别和含量测定中。但对道地药材亳菊的专属化学成分和质量评价等方面的研究工作尚显不足,特别是其与目前充斥市场的替代品大亳菊的鉴别方法研究还有待于进一步深入。     

Dendromonocotyle urogymni sp. nov. (Monogenea, Monocotylidae) from Urogymnus asperrimus (Elasmobranchii, Dasyatidae) off eastern Australia

Dendromonocotyle urogymni sp. nov. is described from the dorsal surface of the porcupine ray, Urogymnus asperrimus, kept at Cairns Marine Aquarium Fish in Cairns, Queensland, Australia. Dendromonocotyle urogymni can be distinguished most readily from the other 15 species in the genus by the male copulatory organ which has a distinct spherical inflation mid-way along its length. This is the first monocotylid to be described from U. asperrimus.
