Fourth Stage Larva

A description is given of the processes of copulation, formation of the egg and spermatozoon, cleavage, embryogeny and hatching in B. phlebotomum. These processes were found to be essentially similar to those in other strongyle nematodes.The anatomy of the first three larval stages is described and the observations of Conradi & Barnette (1908) and Schwartz (1924) were largely confirmed.Penetration of the skin of calves by the infective larva was observed histologically. The larvae were found to have reached the dermis within 30 min. and to have penetrated the cutaneous blood vessels within 60 min. of application to the skin. The larvae were found in the lung where the third ecdysis was in progress 10 days after penetration of the skin. A description is given of the growth of the third-stage larva in the lung, the changes which take place during the third ecdysis, and the anatomy of the fourth-stage larva.The fourth-stage larvae exsheath in the lungs and travel to the intestine. After a period of growth in which sexual differentiation takes place, the fourth ecdysis occurs and the adult parasite emerges. The time required for the attainment of maturity was found to be somewhere between 30 and 56 days after penetration of the skin.This paper was written at the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries Veterinary Laboratories, Wey-bridge, and the writer would like to express his gratitude to the Director, Prof. T. Dalling, also to Dr W. R. Wooldridge, chairman of the Council of the Veterinary Educational Trust for their help and encouragement. The writer's thanks are also due to Dr H. A. Baylis, Prof. R. T. Leiper and Dr E. L. Taylor for their advice and help on technical points, and to Mr R. A. O. Shonekan, African laboratory assistant, for his able co-operation.

AbstractThe third-stage larva of Chalcosoma atlas (L.) collected in Malaysia is described, with illustrations, and a key is provided to distinguish larvae of this species from those of Oryctes rhinoceros (L.) and Xylotrupes gideon beckeri Schaufuss, all of which occur in similar breeding sites.

Gnathostoma, primarily an animal nematode, is rusty in colour, 2-3 cm long in adult stage, caninfect man by their larval form. Human infection occurs by the third stage larva by consumptionof undercooked or raw fish, poultry, or pork and rarely by skin penetration, In Bangladeshgnathostomiasis is not reported. But recently a female of 38 year of age of the northern district,Rangpur has got infected with a species of Gnathostoma, manifested by the appearance of thefarva in anterior chamber of her right eye. The larva was removed from her eye surgically inliving state and the patient was cured.doi: 10.3329/taj.v16i1.3900TAJ June 2003; Vol.16(1): 28-29

AbstractThe Western Palaearctic genus Helicobosca Bezzi, 1906 is described in detail and its systematic position discussed. The monophyly of the calyptrate families Tachinidae, Rhinophoridae, Sarcophagidae and Calliphoridae is reviewed. Helicobosca is removed from its current position within the subfamily Paramacronychiinae of the Sarcophagidae and transferred to the Calliphoridae, where a new subfamily Helicoboscinae Verves, 1980, stat.n., is erected for its reception. The third stage larva of H. palpalis (Robineau-Desvoidy) is described for the first time.

Tail Tip

Two moults occur during larval development in the eggs of Anisakis simplex (Rudolphi, 1809) and Pseudoterranova decipiens (Krabbe, 1878) from the North Atlantic. Live larvae forced out of eggs in sea water by coverslip pressure shortly before spontaneous hatching were surrounded by the thin cuticle of the first-stage larva. Infective larvae from naturally hatched eggs are loosely ensheathed in the thick cuticle of the second-stage larva. Thus, it is the third-stage larva that emerges from the egg of both species and not the second-stage larva as previously believed. The thin, smooth, fragile cuticle of the first-stage larva remains in the egg. The striated, cocoon-like cuticle of the second-stage larva of A. simplex may increase the buoyancy of the third-stage larva. The tail tip of the cuticle of the second-stage larva of P. decipiens is sticky and adheres the sheathed third-stage larva to the substrate.
