Colonization, Ecology, and Population Structure of the "Quagga'' Mussel (Bivalvia: Dreissenidae) in the Lower Great Lakes

An invasive dreissenid mussel given the working name of "quagga" has a present (spring 1993) distribution in the Laurentian Great Lakes from the western basin of Lake Erie to Quebec City. In Lake…

Recovery of Waterborne Cryptosporidium parvum Oocysts by Freshwater Benthic Clams (Corbicula fluminea)

These benthic freshwater clams are capable of recovery and sedimentation of waterborne C. parvum oocysts and it is recommended that gill and GI tract samples be screened with IFA (such as that in the commercially available MERIFLUOR test kit).

The role of cellular parenchyma and extracellular matrix in the histogenesis of the paruterine organ of Mesocestoides lineatus (Platyhelminthes: Cestoda)

Evidence is provided for epithelial‐mesenchymal‐ECM interactions in the development of an epithelio‐ Mesocestoides lineatus organ in the Platyhelminthes and a concomitant reduction in ECM/cell ratio.

Fine structure and histochemistry of the parenchyma and uterine egg capsules ofOochoristica anolis (Cestoda: Linstowiidae)

Gravid proglottids of the linstowiid cestode,Oochoristica anolis, were studied by transmission and scanning electron microscopy and light microscope histochemistry to facilitate transmission of oncospheres by slowing desiccation outside the host.

Ultrastructure of the gravid uterus of Hymenolepis diminuta (Platyhelminthes: Cestoda).

The fine structure of the uterus in gravid proglottids of Hymenolepis diminuta was examined and data suggest a high level of synthetic activity within the uterine epithelium, but the chemical products and functional significance of this activity are not yet known.

Parasites of Desmognathus brimleyorum (Caudata: Plethodontidae) from the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas and Oklahoma

Recovery of waterborne oocysts of Cyclospora cayetanensis by Asian freshwater clams (Corbicula fluminea).

The results demonstrate that Corbicula fluminea can recover waterborne oocysts of C. cayetanensis, and could be used as biological indicators of contamination of water with C. tournaisianensis.

Morphology and fine structure of the gravid uterus of three hymenolepidid tapeworm species (Platyhelminthes: Cestoda)

The cytoplasm showed evidence suggesting a high level of protein synthesis and secretion and the cellular and subcellular structures were similar in all three species, consisting of a syncytial layer attached to a basal extracellular matrix.
