Folia Parasitologica 44[4] 249-254 (1997)
Fourteen three-month-old rabbits spontaneously-infected with the microsporidium Encephalitozoon cuniculi Levaditi, Nicolau et Schoen, 1923 were inoculated intravenously with lymphocytes (Ly) from seropositive bovine leukemia virus infected cattle (Ly/BLV) or with fetal lamb kidney cells infected with bovine fetal leukemia (FLK/BLV). Thirteen rabbits were seropositive to BLV at least for a period of three months. Six rabbits died of pulmonary lesions. Chronic inflammatory lesions of encephalitozoonosis were found in six rabbits killed between 454 and 548 days of the observation period. Five animals bore subcutaneous granulomas. Immunohistochemically,...
Proteocephalus joanae sp n (Eucestoda: Proteocephalidea), a parasite of Xenodon neuwiedi (Serpentes: Colubridae) from South America
deChambrier A, Paulino RC
Folia Parasitologica 44[4] 289-296 (1997)
A new species of Proteocephalus, P. joanae sp. n., is described from the intestine of the colubrid snake, Xenodon neuwiedi (Gunther, 1863) (Serpentes: Xenodontinae), from Brazil. The new species differs from all other members of Proteocephalus by possessing a swollen elongated posterior part of the scolex herein considered as a metascolex. Furthermore, it is the only member of New World Proteocephalus possessing a voluminous glandular apical organ larger than suckers. P. joanae is also characterized by very elongated gravid proglottides. This is the first member of the Proteocephalidea occurring in Xenodon. Even though the species differs significantly...
