The seasonal occurrence, recruitment, and maturation dynamics of Allocreadium lobatum (Digenea: Allocreadiidae) infecting the fallfish, Semotilus corporalis, from the Magaguadavic Lakes system, New Brunswick, Canada, were studied from May 1978 through July 1978 and from February 1979 through November 1980. Allocreadium lobatum has an annual cycle with both low mean intensity and low prevalence of infection occurring from July through September and increasing to high levels from November through May. Parasite recruitment, marked by the presence of a high percentage (≥ 58%) of immature and mature worms in fallfish, is greater from August through November but occurs intermittantly throughout the year. From February through July at least 60% of the parasite population is composed of gravid individuals which die after oviposition. The seasonality of parasite occurrence, recruitment, and maturation cycles is discussed in relation to temperature changes of the water, host diet, and trends in the occurrence of amphipods which are the second intermediate hosts of A. lobatum.

Previous investigations of pathogenetic mechanisms in mycotic encephalitis have been restricted to light microscopic and mycologic approaches. In this study, electron microscopy was utilized to determine the mode of vascular penetration and the cellular and subcellular host-parasite interrelationships in brains of mice infected with Oidiodendron kalrai. This newly isolated fungus was selected because of its ability to consistently produce encephalitis with gross and microscopic lesions similar to those observed in naturally occuring mycoses.

Since several species of Schistosoma, or blood fluke, parasitize man, these trematodes have been subjected to extensive study. Light microscopy and conventional electron microscopy have yielded much information about the morphology of the various stages; however, scanning electron microscopy has been little utilized for this purpose. As the figures demonstrate, scanning microscopy is particularly helpful in studying at high resolution characteristics of surface structure, which are important in determining host-parasite relationships.

The household accounts of King James V of Scotland provide the first quantitative information on the seasonal occurrence of birds there, and some first records.
