Studies by electron microscopy of the giant forms of some African and South American trypanosomes found other than within their mammalian host.
D S Ellis, D A Evans, S Stamford
Folia Parasitologica 29[1] 5-11 (1982) 
Giant multinucleate cyst forms of 3 brucei group trypanosomes and 2 South American species were found in culture systems and within the insect host cells by electron microscopy; the African stocks within the tsetse mid-gut cells, an unidentified Brazilian trypanosome within the bug's gut cells and Trypanosoma rangeli within the muscle layers surrounding the bug's salivary gland. The various forms found were similar in that they contained varying numbers of large vacuoles, usually lined by subpellicular tubules into which appeared to bud the various organelles seen in normal trypanosomes and which were produced in considerable numbers within the body...
Parasitological investigation of children's sand boxes and dog faeces from public areas in old housing districts of Prague.
J Valkounová
Folia Parasitologica 29[1] 25-32 (1982) 
Eggs and oocysts of 11 species of parasites were recorded in 21 of 50 sand boxes (200 samples) and in 66 (13.2%) of 500 dog faeces samples from parks and grassy areas in Prague. Toxocara canis was found in 12 sand boxes and in 4.2% of faeces samples and T. cati in one sand box and one sample of dog faeces.
Diurnal flying activity and nutrition ecology of hydrotaea armipes fall. (Diptera, Muscidae).
F Gregor, F Dusbábek
Folia Parasitologica 29[1] 69-78 (1982) 
The activity of the fly Hydrotaea armipes Fall. alighting on the lachrymous eyes of calves was observed. The flies were active throughout the day at the temperature higher than 12 degrees C, their activity inside the stable being about directly proportional to their activity in the paddocks. The numbers of active females indoors reached 0.08-17.3% of the number of active females in the paddocks. The flight range of females from paddocks or buildings for the housing of calves was no more than 10-20 m. The authors presume that the alighting H. armipes females orientate themselves to a greater distance (more than 5 m) visually, while in the approaching...
