Postcyclic Transmission of Leptorhynchoides thecatus and Neoechinorhynchus cylindratus (Acanthocephala) to Largemouth Bass (Micropterus salmoides)

“…McCormick and Nickol (2004) reported the successful transfer of gravid Paulisentis missouriensis among creek chubs (Semotilus atromaculatus). In other instances, growth of postcyclically transmitted worms has been reported (Moore, 1946;Farzaliev and Petrochenko, 1980;Kennedy, 1999), but gravid females were either not observed or not reported.…”

“…Nickol (2003) suggested that postcyclic transmission might be as important as paratenic transmission in bridging trophic levels in acanthocephalan life cycles. To date, 11 species of acanthocephalans have been successfully transmitted postcyclically in the laboratory (Moore, 1946;Hanth, 1969;Uglem and Beck, 1972;Bozkov, 1980;Farzaliev and Petrochenko, 1980;DeMont and Corkum, 1982;DeBuron and Maillard, 1987;Laissiere and Crompton, 1988;Kennedy, 1999;Rauque et al, 2002;Nickol, 2003;McCormick and Nickol, 2004). As pointed out by Nickol (2003), for postcyclic transmission to be important in the life history of parasites, the transferred worms must survive long enough to attain sexual maturity or sexually mature worms must be transmitted postcyclically.…”

Syncytial organization of acanthors of Polymorphus minutus (Palaeacanthocephala), Neoechinorhynchusrutili (Eoacanthocephala), and Moniliformis moniliformis (Archiacanthocephala) (Acanthocephala)

“…M. dubius), see Moore 1946a andNicholas 1967; and for other species, see e.g., DeGiusti 1949, Harms 1965, Cable and Dill 1967, Amin 1982, and Schmidt 1985. Accordingly, two types of nuclei were often distinguished: larger uncondensed (or ''vesicular'' and less stainable) nuclei called ''cortical nuclei'' and condensed (or compact, deeply staining) nuclei in the ''central mass'', also named ''entoblast'' or even ''endoderm'' (Schmidt 1987).…”
