The life cycle of Proteocephalus thymalli (Cestoda, Proteocephalidae), a parasite of Siberian glame (Thymallus arcticus), was repeated under experimental conditions. The first intermediate hosts, the copepods Epischura baicalensis, Cyclops kolensis and C. vicinus, were determined. The developmental time of P. thymalli in the first intermediate host was determined and the morphology of the larval and adult phases was described.

It was found out, that the cestode Microsomacanthus paraparvula Regel, 1994 being a common parasite of diving ducks in Chukotka uses a caddisfly Grensia praeteria (Trichoptera) as an intermediate host in its life cycle. Mature fragments of the cestode have been collected from droppings of the experimentally infected nestling of the kittiwake Rissa tridactyla (non-specific host) and used for the fine morphology study of embryonic shells and for an infection of intermediate hosts.

Between May 2013 and September 2015, two amphibian and eight reptilian species/subspecies were collected from Atoka (n = 1) and McCurtain (n = 31) counties, Oklahoma, and examined for helminth parasites. Twelve helminths, including a monogenean, six digeneans, a cestode, three nematodes and two acanthocephalans was found to be infecting these hosts. We document nine new host and three new distributional records for these helminths. Although we provide new records, additional surveys are needed for some of the 257 species of amphibians and reptiles of the state, particularly those in the western and panhandle regions who remain to be examined for helminths. ©2015 Oklahoma Academy of Science

A total number of 1019 wild birds were examined, of which 486 (49%) were found infected with one or more species of helminth parasites. Digeneans were recovered from 151 (15%) and cestodes from 249 (24%) birds. Out of 20 helminth species recovered, 10 were found new (7 trematodes and 3 cestodes). The prevalence and the effect of concurrent infection on the most frequently occurring helminth parasites were recorded and discussed. A review of all the trematode and cestode parasites previously described from the Egyptian birds was also given.
