Proposal of a new systematic arrangement of nematodes of the family Capillariidae.
F Moravec
Folia Parasitologica 29[2] 119-132 (1982) 
A new delimitation of genera within the nematode family Capillariidae is proposed on the basis of revaluation of the features used in the taxonomy of these nematodes. The following genera are recognized as valid: Schulmanela Ivashkin, 1964 (subgenera Schulmanela Ivashkin, 1964, Piscicapillaria subgen. n. and Amphibiocapillaria subgen. n.), Paracapillaria Mendonça, 1963, Capillostrongyloides Freitas et Lent, 1935, Pseudocapillaria Freitas, 1959 (subgenera Pseudocapillaria Freitas, 1959 and Ichthyocapillaria subgen. n.). Freitascapillaria gen. n., Baruscapillaria gen. n., Liniscus Dujardin, 1845, Pearsonema Freitas et Mendonça, 1960, Capillaria Zeder,...
PARASITIC PROTOZOA OF CYPRINID FISHES - PROTOZOA OF THE ROACH RUTILUS RUTILUS (LINNAEUS, 1758) IN CZECHOSLOVAKIA
T KEPR
Folia Parasitologica 38[1] 11-21 (1991)
In the years 1985-1988, a total of 254 specimens of the roach, Rutilus rutilus, captured in 23 localities of South Bohemia, were examined for the presence of protozoan parasites. Only 17 specimens (6.7%) were free of infection, whereas the others were infected at least with one parasite species, mixed infections were observed most frequently. The following species were found rarely: Myxidium rhodei Leger, 1905 in the liver and muscles, Pleistophora mirandellae Vaney et Conte, 1901 in ovaries, Trichodina nemachili Lom, 1960 on the skin, Trichodina prowazeki Grupcheva et Lom, 1980 on the skin (the first finding in Czechoslovakia). The data concerning...

New species of Cryptosporidium (Apicomplexa: Cryptosporidiidae) from lizards
Břetislav Koudela, David Modrý
Folia Parasitologica 45[2] 93-100 (1998)
A new Cryptosporidium species, C. saurophilum, is described from Schneider's skinks Eumeces schneideri Daudin, 1802. Oocysts were fully sporulated in fresh faeces and measured 5.0 × 4.7 µm (4.4-5.6 × 4.2-5.2 µm). The new species differs from C. serpentis Levine, 1980 by having smaller oocysts, developing in a different location of intestine, and by the inability to infect snakes.
Ectoparasitic species of the genus Trichodina (Ciliophora: Peritrichida) parasitising British freshwater fish
William Hugo Gaze, Rodney Wootten
Folia Parasitologica 45[3] 177-190 (1998)
Seven species of the genus Trichodina Ehrenberg, 1838 were identified during a sampling programme of twenty freshwater fish species from approximately sixty sites in Scotland, England and Wales. Species found include: Trichodina acuta Lom, 1961 from Cyprinus carpio L., Carassius auratus L., Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum), Salmo trutta L. and Phoxinus phoxinus L.; Trichodina domerguei Wallengren, 1897 from Gasterosteus aculeatus L.; Trichodina tenuidens Faure-Fremiet, 1944 from Gasterosteus aculeatus; Trichodina pediculus Ehrenberg, 1838 from Gasterosteus aculeatus; Trichodina modesta Lom, 1970 from Abramis brama L.; Trichodina nigra Lom, 1960 from Cyprinus...
Interaction of virulent and attenuated tick-borne encephalitis virus strains in ticks and a tick cell line
Jan Kopecký, Ilona Staňková
Folia Parasitologica 45[3] 245-250 (1998)
An interference between a thermosensitive (ts) mutant and the wild-type (wt) of tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) virus in Ixodes ricinus L. and Rhipicephalus appendiculatus (Neumann) ticks is reported. I. ricinus females were dually infected by a parenteral inoculation of ts and wt strains at 10-day interval. Interference was demonstrated by the lowered ability of wt virus to replicate in ticks previously infected by ts virus. The wt virus was demonstrated in only 30% of the ticks; the average virus titre was lowered by 2.1 log10 compared with the control group, which was infected with the wt virus only. The oral infection of R. appendiculatus...
Five new species of Cichlidogyrus (Monogenea: Ancyrocephalidae) from Tilapia brevimanus, T. buttikoferi and T. cessiana from Guinea, Ivory Coast and Sierra Leone (West Africa)
Antoine Pariselle, Louis Euzet
Folia Parasitologica 45[4] 275-282 (1998)
Three species of cichlid fish, Tilapia brevimanus Boulenger, 1911, T. buttikoferi (Hubrecht, 1881), and T. cessiana Thys van den Audenaerde, 1968, from Guinea, Ivory Coast and Sierra Leone (West Africa) were examined for gill parasites for the first time. Six species of Monogenea were found of which one, Cichlidogyrus digitatus Dossou, 1982, had been previously described. Five new species, all belonging to the genus Cichlidogyrus Paperna, 1960, are described herein: C. albareti sp. n., C. hemi sp. n., C. nuniezi sp. n., C. bonhommei sp. n., and C. slembroucki sp.n.
