The first report of new species: Trichuris landak n. sp

New species: Trichuris landak n. sp, what is its medical implication?

“…Based on the present, the new species is proposed based on the classical dichotomous key approach. The differentiating parts of the proposed new species from the well-known species include lateral alae, stylet and bacillary band [1] . At this stage, it can presumptively assume that this is an exact new species based on classical technique [2] .…”

“…The report on discovery of a new nematode species, Trichuris landak n. sp, which has just been published in Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Biomedicine, is very interesting [1] . Purwaningsih mentioned for the isolation of such new species from local Indonesian landak.…”

“…Purwaningsih mentioned for the isolation of such new species from local Indonesian landak. The morphological and anatomical parameters of the new species have been presented in the discovery report [1] . This is an important paper in tropical parasitology.…”

“…Indeed, some Trichuris species were found such as Trichuris muris, Trichuris ovis and Trichuris parvispicularis as early as 1788,1795,1908 and 1916 [1] . Trichuris landak has not been found till the present report by Purwaningsih [1] . Based on the present, the new species is proposed based on the classical dichotomous key approach.…”

The Structure and Hormone Expression of Male Accessory Reproductive Glands of the Sunda Porcupine (Hystrix Javanica)

Concern about the extinction of Sunda porcupine in Indonesia is increasingly higher, so it is necessary conservation efforts such as collection of reproductive data used to determine the activity and reproductive pattern of Sunda porcupine in Indonesia (Purwaningsih 2013).…”
