Ultrastructure of the hatched and unhatched oncospheres of Taenia saginata.

J Schramlová, K Blazek

Folia Parasitologica 29[1] 45-50 (1982)  

The ultrastructure of the oncospheres of Taenia saginata after treatment with artificial gastric juice is described. After the treatment with the gastric juice, the oncosphere remains in the embryophore. Finger-like processes are formed on the membrane separating the granular layer of embryophore from the oncospheral membrane and micropores arise in the outer unit membrane of the oncospheral membrane. After the treatment with the intestinal juice, the embryophore disintegrates. The oncospheral membrane is again without pores and it is shed off after induction of active movement of the oncosphere. The activity of penetration glands increases: in the...

The incidence and mode of scabies transmission in a district of Czechoslovakia (1961-1979).

P Palicka

Folia Parasitologica 29[1] 51-59 (1982)  

An epidemiological analysis was carried out of more than 11 thousand cases of scabies reported in 1961-1979 in the district of Karviná, Czechoslovakia. The paper presents analyses of the incidence of scabies in different age groups of patients divided according to sex and occupation and the results of the epidemiological investigations in family foci. A special attention is paid to the problems of spread of infection in the human population, including the detection of the source and mode of transmission in patients with microscopically confirmed diagnosis. The results obtained serve as a basis for the proposed practical control measures.

The role of Hydrotaea armipes Fall. (Diptera, Muscidae) in the transmission of infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis.

F Dusbábek, A Soukupová, F Gregor, J Krejcí

Folia Parasitologica 29[1] 79-83 (1982)  

The tests to isolate the IBK causative agent Moraxella bovis from the flies Hydrotaea armipes Fall., captured while feeding on tears in the eye region of infected calves, have failed. Many successful isolations of Branhamella catarrhalis from the digestive tract of the flies and the smears taken from the eyes of the infected calves indicate that this agent is acquired by the flies while sucking tears from the eyes of the sick animals. A similar transmission is presumed by the authors with Moraxella bovis. In experiment this bacterium survives on the body surface of Hydrotaea armipes for 14 hours, in the digestive tract for 15 hours and even longer.

Naegleria fowleri in thermally polluted waters).

W Kasprzak, T Mazur, L Cerva

Folia Parasitologica 29[3] 211-218 (1982)  

Two complexes of lakes and canals supplying water for two electric power plants, their steam condensors and an adjoining river were investigated by means of culture methods for the presence of Naegleria fowleri in Poland in the period from 1974 to 1980. Sixty-four strains of N. fowleri were isolated, 13 isolates being virulent for mice when instilled intranasally. These strains were found in the steam condensor of the power station A and in waters polluted with warm water of this plant. Pathogenic N. fowleri strains occurred also in an adjoining river connected with the water system of the power plant. The results show the possible role of the steam...

Ovicidal fungi in soils of Cuba.

H Lýsek, O Fassatiová, N Cuervo Pineda, N Lorenzo Hernández

Folia Parasitologica 29[3] 265-270 (1982)  

Thirty-six strains of ovicidal fungi were isolated from 122 investigated soil samples collected in Cuba. The isolated strains belong to 8 genera, 2 strains consist of sterile mycelium only. Most of the strains belong to the genus Fusarium (4 species, 1 undetermined strain), the remaining ones to Mortierella (3 species and 6 undetermined strains), Humicola (2 species), Paecilomyces (2 species) and Penicillium (2 species). The genera Verticillium, Gliocladium and Cunninghamella were represented by one species each. A majority of isolated strains exhibited a high to very high ovicidal activity immediately after isolation; strains with a lower initial...
