Forty-two Trichomonas gallinae isolates were molecularly characterized to determine whether differed in genetic sequence of multiple gene targets depending on host species or geographical location. The 5.8S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and flanking internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions amplified by polymerase chain reaction, the sequences analyzed phylogenetically. results analysis strongly suggest at least 2 may exist within T. morphologic complex. Based ITS sequences, one group demonstrated...
Eugregarines are typically distinguished using characters, such as epimerite morphology, trophozoite morphometrics, timing of reproductive association, gametocyst and method dehiscence. In some cases, new gregarine species have been recognized based solely on host associations, whereas other reported from several taxa. We used reciprocal cross-species experimental infections in vitro excystation assays to evaluate the specificity 5 eugregarines among 6 cockroaches: Protomagalhaensia...
The helminth community composition and structure of 6 species columbids residing in south Texas are reported compared herein. Sixty individuals the following species, rock pigeons (Columba livia [RP]), mourning doves (Zenaida macroura [MD]), Eurasian collared-doves (Streptopelia decaocto [ECD]), white-winged asiatica [WWD]), common ground (Columbina passerina [CGD]), 48 Inca inca [ID]) were collected during summer 2006 examined for helminths. Twelve found (9 nematodes 3 cestodes),...
Gregarines are parasites common in insects, especially culture. No effective chemotherapeutic or chemoprophylactic control protocol exists, but sulfadimethoxine has targeted effects on sporozoites and trophozoites. Efficacies of metronidazole potassium sorbate were independently administered 5-d regimens to evaluate their efficacy as agents against 2 gregarine species, Gregarina cubensis Protomagalhaensia granulosae, infecting Death's Head Cockroaches, Blaberus discoidalis. Relative the...
Gregarina cubensis is an apicomplexan parasite that infects the intestinal lumen of death's head cockroach (Blaberus discoidalis). This study evaluated effects 3 temperatures on development and viability G. cubensis. Three groups B. discoidalis were inoculated with oocysts maintained at 15, 27, 40 C. The alimentary canal was removed from cockroaches in each group every 24 hr until mature gametocysts found rectum or feces, prepared for histological examination. establishment more rapid 15 C...
Colorism is a well documented phenomenon affecting the health, income, education, and psychological wellbeing of African Americans with differing skin tones. There little research, however, around how colorism may operate among intersectional racial sexual minorities, who additionally face both racism homophobia, despite evidence that different forms oppression interact each other have modulating effects in this population. This study aims to clarify effect has on variety life health...
Prismatospora cloptoni n. sp. (Apicomplexa: Eugregarinida: Actinocephalidae: Acanthosporinae) is described from naiads of Anax junius (Odonata: Anisoptera: Aeshnidae) collected the pond at Sam Houston State University Center for Biological Field Studies, Walker County, Texas, U.S.A. This second species in genus, and it confirms generic hypothesis Prismatospora. The diagnosis revised to reflect common characters its constituent species.
Background and Purpose: Acute viral respiratory infections (ARTIs) are among the most common reasons for a healthcare encounter throughout industrialized world. Among approximately100 million antibiotic prescriptions written every year ARTI, half prescribed inappropriately. Inappropriate prescribing illnesses poses serious threat since many organisms have become resistant to commonly used antibiotics. The aim of this study was develop an ARTI treatment protocol in accordance with current...
Abstract Study Design: Psychometric; Concept Mapping, Delphi Technique Objectives Describe the development and validation of a decision support tool to prevent community-acquired pressure injuries (CAPrIs) in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) for use SCI clinics, called Community-Acquired Pressure Injury Prevention-Field Implementation Tool (CAPP-FIT). Setting: Veteran Health Administration Hospital, Chicago, Illinois, USA Methods mapping current (PrI) guidelines qualitative research...
