Abstract
Birds harbor an astonishing diversity of haemosporidian parasites belonging to the genera Haemoproteus, Leucocytozoon, and Plasmodium. Currently there are more than 250 morphologically described avian haemosporidian species and 2,828 unique lineages found in virtually all avian clades and zoogeographic regions, except for Antarctica. Our report is based on PCR and microscopic screening of 1,302 individual avian samples from Brazil to detect the underrepresented genus Leucocytozoon. This survey primarily focuses on passerine birds collected from Amazonia, the Atlantic Rain Forest, and Pantanal. We also summarize studies conducted in Brazil that report haemosporidian prevalence using both microscopy and molecular tools and present for the first time a record of Leucocytozoon infecting an avian host population in Amazonia. Based on our findings, we suggest that high average temperatures may be constraining both the distribution and diversity of Leucocytozoon in lowland tropical South America.

Abstract
We have investigated the main parameters of water exchange in leaves of Quercus robur L. which grow on the south-facing slope of the Viyskoviy ravine in a variety of water supply conditions. We established that the greatest intensity of transpiration of leaves of Q. robur occurred in the forest vegetation conditions of SG2, the smallest in SG1–0. In all study periods the largest amplitude of daily fluctuations in intensity of transpiration occurred in leaves of plants along the talweg, at other test sites the limits were much lower. The highest rates of transpiration were in September, which is connected with the high temperatures and lower relative air humidity compared with the days of measurement in July and May. We established that at the beginning of the growing season there was no difference in the total amount of water in the leaves of the trees that grow on the middle and upper parts of the slope, but that it was greater in plants along the talweg. In the following months the difference between the water content in the leaves of trees along the talweg and upper third of the slope increased. The leaves of trees that grow in the poorest conditions of water supply were characterized by the highest water-holding capacity, which is coordinated with their containing the highest content of hydrophilic colloids. The values for water deficit in May and in July fell within the maximum fluctuations for the species studied, but in early September they exceeded the maximum value in the leaves of trees on the upper third of the slope.

Abstract
Synoptic data and an understanding of helminth parasite diversity among diverse rodent assemblages across temperate latitudes of North America remain remarkably incomplete. Renewed attention to comprehensive survey and inventory to establish the structure of biodiverse faunas is essential in providing indicators and proxies for identifying the outcomes of accelerating change linked to climate warming and anthropogenic forcing. Subsequent to the description of Hymenolepis folkertsi in the oldfield mouse, Peromyscus polionotus, additional specimens of hymenolepidids were collected or discovered in archived museum repositories from multiple species of deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus, Peromyscus leucopus), the golden mouse (Ochrotomys nuttalli), chipmunks (Tamias striatus, Tamias amoenus), the 13-lined ground squirrel (Ictidomys tridecemlineatus), and tree squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis, Sciurus niger) from disjunct localities in the USA spanning southern Georgia, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Wisconsin, and central Idaho. Specimens were largely consistent morphologically with the original description of H. folkertsi. Initial DNA sequence data, from a portion of the mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase subunit 1, demonstrated intraspecific variation among three apparently geographically isolated populations attributed to H. folkertsi (uncorrected genetic distances of 2.7 % (Idaho and Michigan), 2.4 % (Virginia + Pennsylvania and Michigan), and 1.89 % (VA + PA and ID). Geography rather than host association explains the distribution and occurrence of H. folkertsi, and host colonization among deer mice, chipmunks, and other sciurids within regional sites is indicated. Genetic divergence revealed across localities for H. folkertsi suggests historically isolated populations, consistent with extended evolutionary and biogeographic trajectories among hymenolepidids and species of Peromyscus and Tamias in North America. Field inventory, that revealed these parasite populations, substantially alters our understanding of the distribution of diversity and provides insights about the nature of the complex relationships that serve to determine cestode faunas in rodents.

Abstract
Three species of Hilmylepis Skryabin & Matevosyan, 1942 are redescribed: H. nagatyi (Hilmy, 1936) from shrews Crocidura foxi, C. theresae, C. giffardi and C. occidentalis in the Ivory Coast; H. raillieti (Joyeux & Baer, 1950) on the basis of syntypes from C. russula in France; and H. prokopici Genov, 1970 from C. leucodon and C. suaveolens in Bulgaria. The holotype of H. sharpiloi Tkach & Velikanov, 1990 from Diplomesodon pulchellum in Turkmenistan is figured and a brief description of the species, based on that of Tkach & Velikanov (1990), is presented. The major reliable diagnostic characters of Hilmylepis are re-evaluated. The number and length of the rostellar hooks, the shape of the rostellum and the host-range of Hilmylepis spp. are considered as the main distinguishing characters applicable at the species level. An amended generic diagnosis and an identification key to Hilmylepis spp. are presented.

Abstract
Complete small subunit ribosomal RNA gene (ssrDNA) and partial (D1-D3) large subunit ribosomal RNA gene (lsrDNA) sequences were used to estimate the phylogeny of the Digenea via maximum parsimony and Bayesian inference. Here we contribute 80 new ssrDNA and 124 new lsrDNA sequences. Fully complementary data sets of the two genes were assembled from newly generated and previously published sequences and comprised 163 digenean taxa representing 77 nominal families and seven aspidogastrean outgroup taxa representing three families. Analyses were conducted on the genes independently as well as combined and separate analyses including only the higher plagiorchiidan taxa were performed using a reduced-taxon alignment including additional characters that could not be otherwise unambiguously aligned. The combined data analyses yielded the most strongly supported results and differences between the two methods of analysis were primarily in their degree of resolution. The Bayesian analysis including all taxa and characters, and incorporating a model of nucleotide substitution (general-time-reversible with among-site rate heterogeneity), was considered the best estimate of the phylogeny and was used to evaluate their classification and evolution. In broad terms, the Digenea forms a dichotomy that is split between a lineage leading to the Brachylaimoidea, Diplostomoidea and Schistosomatoidea (collectively the Diplostomida nomen novum (nom. nov.)) and the remainder of the Digenea (the Plagiorchiida), in which the Bivesiculata nom. nov. and Transversotremata nom. nov. form the two most basal lineages, followed by the Hemiurata. The remainder of the Plagiorchiida forms a large number of independent lineages leading to the crown clade Xiphidiata nom. nov. that comprises the Allocreadioidea, Gorgoderoidea, Microphalloidea and Plagiorchioidea, which are united by the presence of a penetrating stylet in their cercariae. Although a majority of families and to a lesser degree, superfamilies are supported as currently defined, the traditional divisions of the Echinostomida, Plagiorchiida and Strigeida were found to comprise non-natural assemblages. Therefore, the membership of established higher taxa are emended, new taxa erected and a revised, phylogenetically based classification proposed and discussed in light of ontogeny, morphology and taxonomic history.

Abstract
A phylogenetic study of 8 North American and European species of frog lung flukes belonging to Haematoloechus was conducted using approximately 850 to 1,000 bases of the intemal transcribed spacer region (ITS 1 + 5.8S + ITS 2) and 1,250 bases of the large subunit (LSU) of the nuclear ribosomal DNA. Adequate phylogenetic resolution could not be obtained from 5.8S or ITS 2 data. Analysis of ITS 1 data produced 2 equally parsimonious trees that differed only in the position of Haematoloechus breviplexus relative to H. medioplexus and H. varioplexus. Single, identical trees were produced by analysis of both LSU sequence data and a data set comprised of all ITS and LSU data. All trees demonstrated 3 distinct evolutionary lineages within the Holarctic Haematoloechus examined. The results confirmed the taxonomic validity of H. abbreviatus and demonstrated that the presence or absence of extracecal uterine loops is not a character meaningful to the recognition of evolutionary lineages or differentiation of genera. Examination of ITS sequence data revealed almost no intraspecific variation within 5 species of Haematoloechus and demonstrated an approximately 150-base indel common to the North American H. longiplexus and the European H. asper. Two of 3 clades revealed by the phylogenetic analyses are comprised of both European and North American species, indicating that lineages of Haematoloechus arose before the breakup of Laurasia and radiated after Eurasia and North America split. Within each of 3 evolutionary lineages, members share similar patterns of arthropod host specificity distinct from patterns found in the other lineages. This suggests that second intermediate host specificity may be a trait that has been conserved through evolutionary time.

Abstract
This paper describes intraspecific variability of the partial sequences of the mitochondrial ND1 gene among isolates of Taenia hydatigena from pigs in Poland, Ukraine and Wales. The differences between studied isolates ranged from 0.4 to 5.5%, which exceeds the variability within the same fragment between the different genetic variants of Echinococcus multilocularis and is comparable with the variability between the most closely related strains (G5/G6/G7) of E. granulosus. The biggest difference (5.5%) was found between the geographically most distant Ukrainian and Welsh samples of T. hydatigena while the samples collected from the neighbouring locations in Poland, were most similar to each other.

Abstract
A new digenean, Allassogonoporus callosciuri n. sp. from the plantain squirrel Callosciurus notatus from the Malaysian state of Sarawak, Borneo, is described. The new species differs from: A. amphoraeformis by the size of the ventral sucker and the position of the vitellarium and uterus; and from A. marginalis by the smaller oral sucker, the position of the testes and vitellarium; from A. vespertilionis by the position of the vitellarium, testes and ovary; from A. asymmetrica by the position of the testes and uterus. Gilford's (1955) and Dubois' (1963) opinions on the synonymy of Allassogonoporus and Myotitrema is supported. No representatives of the family Allassogonoporidae have been reported previously from sciurids or South-East Asia.

Abstract
The taxonomic history of the species of Plagiorchis Lühe, 1899 occurring in European bats has been very confused because of high morphological similarity between different forms/species and the inadequate initial description of P. vespertilionis (Müller, 1780). As morphological data alone have not provided enough convincing arguments to solve the problem, the sequences from the nuclear rDNA ITS region (ITS1, 5.8S and ITS2) of three species of the P. vespertilionis group (P. vespertilionis, P. muelleri Tkach & Sharpilo, 1990 and P. koreanus Ogata, 1938) occurring in European bats were used to test the validity of these species and evaluate some of the morphological characters used for the species differentiation within this group. P. elegans from birds was used as the outgroup in the analysis. All three ingroup species were clearly distinguishable using ITS sequences. Among them, P. koreanus occupied a basal position, while P. vespertilionis and P. muelleri appeared as a cluster of two closely related, derived species. ITS sequences of the specimens obtained from different hosts and/or geographical areas did not exhibit any intraspecific variability. Morphological study of the material in collections revealed characters which enable the species of Plagiorchis from bats in Europe to be distinguished. Taking into account that the type-material of P. vespertilionis. described during the 18th Century, has been lost, for nomenclatural stability, a neotype is established and described. An amended description of the type-material of P. muelleri and keys for the determination of Plagiorchis spp. from European bats are presented.

Abstract
Maritrema neomi n. sp. is described based on specimens found in the intestine of the Mediterranean water shrew (Neomys anomalus) from the Ukrainian part of the Carpathian Mountains. The most important diagnostic features of M. neomi are the body size, sucker ratio, shape and length of the cirrus sac, the cirrus sac/body length ratio, and the topography of the intestinal ceca. Maritrema neomi differs from Maritrema carpathica in the length and shape of body, size of eggs and vitelline follicles, and length of uterus; from Maritrema feliui, in length of cirrus sac, the cirrus sac/body length ratio, and length of intestinal ceca; from Maritrema pyrenaica, in the suckers ratio, shape of body, and size of some internal organs; and from metacercariae of Maritrema galloprovinciale, by much smaller size of body and internal organs, size of vitelline follicles, and topography of the vitellarium. The life cycle of M. neomi involves as intermediate hosts prosobranch snails (Terrestribythinella) and gammarid crustaceans (Gammarus (Rivulogammarus) balcanicus).

Abstract
External morphology of the nematode Pterygodermatites bovieri (Blanchard, 1886), a very rare parasite of bats in the Palaearctic region, was studied by scanning electron microscopy. Special attention was paid to the cephalic end structure and cuticular armament, which are of great systematic importance in this group of nematodes. The mouth opening of P. bovieri is subterminal and oriented dorsally. Numerous sclerotized denticles, arranged in two rows, are situated in the buccal cavity around the mouth opening. They are better developed in its ventral part. In females there are 12-14 ventral denticles. Cephalic papillae are arranged in two rows: internal (six papillae--two dorsal, two lateral and two ventral) and external (four papillae). Amphids are small, situated close to lateral, cephalic papillae of the internal row. Males possess 40-41 cuticular combs in each ventro-lateral plate row, and, in addition, a short row of four ventral, unpaired precloacal fans. Females in our material possessed 68 cuticular elements represented by combs and spines, in each row. Changes of the cuticular elements shape along the nematode body length are described. Results of SEM observations are compared with previous descriptions of P. bovieri based on the light microscopical observations.

Abstract
Genus Coronacanthus Spassky, 1954 contains three species--C. integra (Hamann, 1891), C. omissa (Baer et Joyeux 1943) and C. vassilevi Genov, 1980--but larval stages of only first two species were described before. During 1991-1993 cysticercoids of all three species were found from gammarid crustaceans in Eastern Carpathians. The article contains an illustrated description of the cysticercoid of C. vassilevi. It differs considerably from the formerly known Coronacanthus larvae by the egg-shaped (not lens-shaped) form of the cyst, absence of marginal thickening of the cyst wall, by the shape and length of cercomer and besides, by the invagination of the anterior part of the scolex. Microvilli on the cyst surface were not detected with light microscope. Cercomer of C. vassilevi is narrow and very long as for mammalian hymenolepidid (4.7 to 8 times longer than cyst). The number (37-38), length (8-9 microns) and shape of rostellar hooks well correspond to those of adult worms (Genov, 1980).

Abstract
The reconstructive surgery embracing a wide range of operations, when the dura mater is used as plastic material, requires a profound study of its physico-mechanical and structural properties. The dura mater obtained from 150 human corpses of persons at the age of 1 month of embryogenesis up to 90 years has been studied by means of morphological, histochemical methods and using the device for mechanical testing of various biological materials. In ontogenesis of the dura mater three states are arbitrary distinguished: development, stabilization of morphological structures and involutional-degenerative changes. Specific feature of each stage are described. Owing to the investigations performed, it is possible to state optimal time range for taking transplants and widening the limits for choosing for plastic material with the reference to the required strength, thickness,, stretching and elasticity.

Abstract
Effect of parenteral administration of xenogenic liquor, vitally obtained, on the state of the microcirculatory bed, as well as its biostimulating action for cellular metabolism activation have been studied. The number of actively functioning capillaries increases, microvessels dilate, vascular permeability intensifies not only under normal conditions, but under experimental hypercholesteremia, as well. How the changes observed in the microcirculatory bed depend on various doses and total amount of the preparation administered, as well as means of its conservation have been analysed and stated. The dynamics of indices on lipid metabolism have been studied.

Abstract
A possibility to use preserved dura mater (in 2% formalin) for substituting various abdominal wall layers under both sterile and infectious conditions has been studied experimentally in 126 dogs. Morphological investigation has been performed at various postoperative time (1 day--2 years). It has been stated that the dura mater implantation produces minimal aseptic inflammatory reaction in the abdominal wall tissues. The transplant is gradually disorganized and resolved and simultaneously substituted with the connective tissue. There are no commissurae between the transplant and the abdominal organs. The dura mater is resistive to infections. Application of the dura mater for surgery of hernia of the abdominal wall is substantiated.

Abstract
A new technique for prevention of asphyxia in tracheomalacia has been developed. The technique consists in suturing the softened portion of the trachea to the dura mater graft which had been previously fixed to its healthy portions. Such a technique allows performing reliable fixation of the tracheomalacia portion in an extended state and thereby to prevent asphyxia, The technique was used in 11 operated patients and gave good results.

Abstract
Heterotransplants of the human dura mater were used to replace circular and lateral defects of the thoracic and abdominal aortas, carotid and iliac arteries in experiment. Operations were performed in 106 dogs. Observations of permeability of the vessels, morphological and histochemical studies were carried out at different periods after operation (from 1 day to 2 years). The xenogenous dura mater has well pronounced plastic properties--it is solid, elastic, characterized by low antigenicity. During transplantation there appear no hard inflammatory--destructive changes in reconstructed vessels and the surrounding tissues. The transplant is gradually substituted by recipients tissues characterized by high specialization. They are rich in elastic and smooth muscle fibres, have good blood supply and innervation. The dura mater is a good material for plastics of vascular wall defects.
