条背萤幼虫不同发育阶段呼吸系统构造的观察和比较

通过显微解剖,结合透射电镜和扫描电镜,观察比较了条背萤Luciola substriata幼虫两个不同发育阶段呼吸系统的差异。结果表明：1～2龄幼虫的呼吸系统中只有气管无气囊,3～6龄幼虫的呼吸系统中气管和气囊并存。1～2龄幼虫的尾气门和3～6龄幼虫的腹部侧气门及尾气门结构没有差异。透射电镜观察提示条背萤1～2龄幼虫体壁上的毛状物为气管鳃。     

条背萤幼虫水生适应性形态与游泳行为研究

研究了条背萤Luciolasubstriata幼虫的形态特征及其对游泳行为的适应。形态及扫描电镜观察发现,条背萤幼虫存在二态现象。1～2龄幼虫虫体扁平,多毛。有7对呼吸鳃,分别位于腹部第1～7节。3～6龄幼虫虫体扁平呈船形,无呼吸鳃,靠气管呼吸。二者均具有扁平桨状的足、燕尾状尾节及位于尾节末端的圆柱形粘附器官。条背萤幼虫游动时身体腹面朝上,呈仰泳姿态,足向后划水。3～6龄幼虫仰泳时足共有8种摆动姿势。幼虫仰泳时足摆动1个周期所需时间为(0.611±0.16)s。腹部末端可上下左右摆动,当幼虫向前游动时,尾部上下摆动1个周期所需时间为(1.795±0.44)s。幼虫的游泳速度为(0.85±0.16)mh。仰泳中的幼虫改变方向时,头部和尾部同时向身体的一侧弯曲,当头部与尾部呈近90°时,幼虫用力将尾部伸直,此时水产生一个反作用力继续推动幼虫转向,幼虫转向的范围为0～90°。条背萤2种类型幼虫呼吸系统的不同决定着幼虫外部形态的差异及游泳行为的不同,而导致这种呼吸系统、形态及运动行为不同的原因很可能是条背萤对环境的适应性进化。     

三叶虫萤幼虫叠背行为

为了探究三叶虫萤幼虫的行为学特征,促进三叶虫萤的资源利用与人工养殖,本文采用控制变量法以三叶虫萤末龄幼虫为研究对象分析了幼虫在不同时间和空间密度的叠背现象,采取LY-WN超清显微系统拍照分析了三叶虫萤幼虫的背腹部结构与足部结构。结果表明,三叶虫萤各龄幼虫均表现出独特的叠背行为,且按照叠背的重合度区分,可分为相对叠背和集群叠背。叠背率随种群密度增加而增加,叠背率与种群密度的相关系数为0.8358。三叶虫萤幼虫的足含有较多的刚毛,且跗节延伸有倒勾;背部较宽,且具有起伏和分节结构;腹部含有大量小而细的刚毛和起伏结构。因此,三叶虫萤幼虫的叠背行为可能与足部结构、背腹部结构、接触时间、种群密度具有较大关系,且幼虫的叠背行为可能对其栖息、防卫、取食、迁移等行为活动具有重大意义。     

条背萤的闪光求偶行为

水栖萤火虫条背萤Luciola substriata (Gorh.)发出单脉冲周期性特异闪光信号进行求偶。室外观测发现,在23℃、86% RH时,雄萤飞行求偶闪光信号脉冲闪光持续时间为0.52 s,间隔时间为0.28 s,闪光信号的最大亮度为0.6 lx; 雌萤求偶信号周期为 0.67 s,最大亮度为0.4 lx。雄萤发出求偶信号0.22 s后,雌萤发出两个连续的回应信号。第一个回应信号为0.49 s,第二个为0.41 s, 两个回应信号的间隔时间为0.11 s。雄萤发现雌萤回应信号后,降落至离雌萤5～10 cm处,继续发出闪光信号,但闪光脉冲频率减小,闪光脉冲时间为1.23 s,间隔时间为0.50 s。条背萤交配时呈“V”或“一”字形交配姿势。

Comparative ultrastructure of copulatory organs having a stylet in the Proseriata (Turbellaria)

The ultrastructure of male copulatory organs having a stylet has been studied in some genera of the Proseriata.Within the Monocelididae there was a variety of stylet-like hard structures. The stylet in Monocelis fusca was a differentiation of the basement membrane of the epithelium lining a penis-like muscular papilla. The penis papilla in Ectocotyla consisted of circular muscles surrounded by a thickened basement membrane and an epithelium. Archilopsis sp. and Archilina sp. with a duplex copulatory bulb, had a stylet within a spiny cirrus. The stylet in Archilopsis sp. was a cylindrical muscular protrusion with a thickened basement lamina that lined the cirrus lumen. The stylet structure in Archilina sp. was composed of four long spines which were derivatives of the basement membrane. In Ectocotyla multitesticulata and Dupliminona corsicana, the accessory prostatoid organ was provided with a hook-shaped stylet that was differentiated in the basement membrane and of which the material was continuous with the fibrous matrix between the muscles of the prostatic bulb. The stylet and needles in the Archimonocelis species were intracellular differentiations. The copulatory organ in Carenscoilia biforamen consisted of a tubiform stylet and four needles, all of which were also intracellular specializations.I consider copulatory hard structures in the Turbellaria to be taxonomically significant in terms of structure, differentiation, and location (whether subcellular, in the basement membrane, or intracellular).     

Midgut amylase,lysozyme, aminopeptidase,and trehalase from larvae and adults of Musca domestica

Based on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, density-gradient ultracentrifugation and thermal inactivation, there is only one major molecular species of each of the following larval enzymes (soluble in water or solubilized in Triton X-100): membrane-bound aminopeptidase (pH optimum 8.5; K_m 0.21 mM L-leucine p-nitroanilide; M_r 322,000), amylase (pH optimum 6.5; K_m 0.14% starch; M_r 66,000), lysozyme (pH optimum 3.5; K_m 0.3 mg/ml; Mr 24,000); and membrane-bound trehalase (pH optimum 5.0; K_m 1.09 mM trehalose; M_r 94,000). Except for lysozyme, the properties of adult digestive enzymes are different from those described for larval enzymes. Larval aminopeptidase and trehalase were purified by electrophoresis and larval lysozyme (contaminated with amylase) by density-gradient ultracentrifugation, and were used to raise antibodies in a rabbit. Antibodies raised against larval aminopeptidase, trehalase, and amylase did not recognize the imaginal enzymes, whereas those against larval lysozyme recognize imaginal lysozyme. The data suggest that the genes coding for digestive enzymes (except for lysozyme) are different in larvae and imagoes.     

Surface ultrastructure of Metagonimus takahashii metacercariae and adults

A scanning electron microscopic study was performed on the surface ultrastructure of metacercariae and adults of Metagonimus takahashii. Metacercariae were collected from the scale of crucian carp (Carassius auratus), and adult flukes were harvested 1-4 weeks after infection to rats. In excysted metacercariae, the oral sucker had type I (numerous) and type II (seven in total) sensory papillae. Tegumental spines were dense and digitated into 5-7 points on the surface anterior to the ventral sucker, but became sparse and less digitated posteriorly toward the end of the body. In adults, seven type II sensory papillae were characteristically arranged around the lip of the oral sucker, and on the inner side of the lip four small and two large type I sensory papillae were symmetrically seen on each side (12 in total). Tegumental spines on anterior two-thirds of the body, were digitated with 9-12 tips ventrally and 8-13 tips dorsally. Sperms entering into the Laurer's canal were observed. The results show that the surface ultrastructure of M. takahashii is generally similar to those of M. yokogawai and M. miyatai except for the digitation of tegumental spines.     

Damage and early destruction of Taenia taeniaeformis larvae in resistant hosts, and anomalous development in susceptible hosts: a light microscopic and ultrastructural study

Bortoletti G., Conchedda M. and Ferretti G. 1985. Damage and early destruction of Taenia taeniaeformis larvae in resistant hosts, and anomalous development in susceptible hosts: a light microscopic and ultrastructural study. International Journal for Parasitology15: 377–384. Taenia taeniaeformis larvae in resistant C57 mice have been studied from 5th to 15th day post-infection (L5–L15) both at the light and electron microscopic level. L5 stages were already damaged and total destruction occurred by approx. 15 days post-infection. In stage L5, unlike fertile larvae from C3H mice, the perilarval amorphous layer (PAL) was generally absent, and the host's cells were in close contact with the parasite surface. At this stage eosinophils were already present together with neutrophils and macrophages. Larvae were seen increasing in volume between stages L6 and L8, but remained constant from stages L9 to L14, while both the tegumental distal cytoplasm (TDC) and the subtegumental cellular layer (SCL) gradually decreased. In stages L10–L14 only a narrow TDC separated the larval cavity from host cells. After the larval tegument had been reduced in thickness the eosinophil lytic enzyme release onto the parasite surface contributed to produce a ‘hole’ in the TDC where host cells penetrated and gradually filled the larval cavity of L15, destroying the parasitic residues. Therefore anomalous small larvae (L50 and more) from C3H mice (susceptible host) have been studied: in these the scolex anlagen was absent or greatly reduced; the TDC was very narrow and the SCL greatly damaged. Outside the larva the ‘host tissue’ appeared as an unidentifiable amorphous material. These larvae cannot be considered ‘dead’ but are defined as sterile.     

Effect of tillage on abundance of Japanese beetle, Popillia japonica Newman (Col., Scarabaeidae), larvae and adults in highbush blueberry fields

Abstract:  At 15 commercial highbush blueberry farms, fields where row middles were tilled had 72% lower larval density of Popillia japonica than fields with grass in row middles. Popillia japonica larval populations were similar in the perimeters of tilled and untilled fields. Soil parameters measured in these sites were not correlated with larval density of P. japonica. Samples of adult beetles on bushes showed that they were significantly less abundant in tilled fields compared with fields with grass in the row middles. The abundance of larvae inside fields during the spring was significantly correlated with early, but not late summer abundance of adult beetles on bushes. Comparisons of different tillage timings showed that grassy plots between rows of blueberry bushes that were tilled in spring and kept bare all year round had lower abundance of P. japonica larvae than those that retained perennial ryegrass. The effect of tillage timing on larval abundance was not consistent across 2 years, but most timings caused similar reduction in P. japonica larval density in the row middles. Tillage in the spring and in the autumn caused 50.5% and 68.8% reduction of larval density in each year respectively. These results indicate that tillage can reduce P. japonica larval and adult abundance in highbush blueberry fields.     

Ribeiroia marini: Surface ultrastructure of redia,cercaria, and adult

Rediae, cercariae, and adults of Ribeiroia marini were examined using a scanning electron microscope to determine the types of tegumental sensory structures and their locations. Sensory structures were observed among numerous tegumental folds in the area immediately surrounding the mouth of the rediae. These sensory structures are similar in appearance, location and fine structure to sensory structures described from the anterior tips of rediae known to be predacious on the sporocysts of Schistosoma mansoni. These uniciliated structures may function as chemoreceptors to aid the redia in migration through snail tissue. Five types of sensory structures bearing one, two, or multiple cilia were distinguishable on the cercariae. These structures were located on and around the oral sucker, dorsal and ventral body surfaces and on the tail. They may be used by the cercariae to locate the intermediate host fish and to find suitable sites within the lateral line scales for encystment. The ventral surface of the adult fluke is covered with spines and shows an absence of sensory structures on the general body surface. Sensory structures were seen in the area surrounding the oral and ventral suckers. The extended cirrus organ has a folded tegument, but lacks spines or sensory structures.     

Early development of the digestive tract of cod larvae, Gadus morhua L., during start-feeding and starvation

Cod larvae, Gadus morhua L., were reared in the laboratory and released to a large marine enclosure 4 to 5 days after hatching (6–8° C). The development of the digestive system was studied until day 24 after hatching. Morphological investigations of the jaw apparatus and the digestive tract showed that the larvae are able to absorb ingested food well before exhaustion of the yolk sac. The foregut, and especially the midgut, were particularly active in lipid absorption, and the hindgut was characterized by pinocytotic activity. Duhng the first days of feeding, no distinct prey organisms were observed in the gut, and signs of food absorption in the epithelial cells of the gut were sparse.A distinct red fluorescence, restricted to the hindgut, was observed from day 11 to day 19. On the basis of changes in absorptive pattern in the gut we suggest that changes in digestive and absorptive abilities, as well as in nutritional needs, take place around days 15–17 after hatching.
In starved larvae, signs of degeneration of the gut tissue were first visible in the foregut. By day 9 after hatching, microvilli was degenerated to such an extent that the ability to absorb food must have been severely restricted. If larvae are starved longer than this, they will probably not survive.     

Morphological studies on the early development of Taenia taeniaeformis larvae in susceptible mice

Bortoletti G. and Ferretti G. 1985. Morphological studies on the early development of Taenia taeniaeformis larvae in susceptible mice. International Journal for Parasitology15: 365–375. Taenia taeniaeformis larvae which develop into infective strobilocerci in C3H mice have been studied from the 5th to the 15th day of development (L5–L15), both at light and electron microscope level. The L5 were initially compact, without a central cavity but then become vacuolized. Until stages L7–L8 they were surrounded by a perilarval amorphous layer (PAL) made up of a finely granular material which prevented the host cells from making contact with the larval tegument. The larval volume increased considerably between stages L6 and L8, remained unchanged from L9 to L13, but continued to increase thereafter. The larval cellular layer, which appeared as a single, large ‘syncitial system’, grow until stages L14–L15 when the scolex anlagen began to form. The tegument was initially incompletely organized and was covered by microvilli. These were completely replaced by microtriches from stage L8 onward. Sometimes both microvilli and microtriches were together observed in stage L7. Microvilli fragments, sometimes beaded, could be observed at L5 within the damaged cytoplasm of host cell debris. Very often they were branched at different heights, especially in stages L5–L7. In L10–L15 all undamaged microtriches increased in density and formed bundles which invaded the host cells. In stages L5–L8 and in some L9, muscular bundles started to become organized inside the tegumental distal cytoplasm (TDC), and after become independent in the subtegumental cellular layer (SCL). Until L8–L9 the larvae were surrounded by host cells debris. From stages L8–L10 onwards the adjacent host cells were less damaged though the larval microtriches penetrated them deeply. In stages L5–L7 neutrophils together with macrophages and some damaged hepatocytes were detected, while eosinophils were present only from L8 onward. In the other stages neutrophils clearly diminished in numbers, whereas macrophages had increased. No mastcells and few plasma cells were observed.
