As an example, resin embedded human erythrocytes infected with Plasmodium falciparum, the Malaria causing parasite, were investigated using EDX in a standard STEM. The element distribution was mapped and analyzed quantitatively (Fig. 1). Peak overlaps such as of osmium, used for staining, and the lighter phosphorous can be easily separated using the versatile and very open EDS analysis software ESPRIT. Fig. 2 shows that the inclusion of phosphorous overlapping with osmium is essential for the correct representation of the measured spectrum. Furthermore, the calcium peak, used for mapping clearly appears in the background subtracted spectrum.
Allergy cases are more frequently recognised in some European regions, and rarely, if at all, reported in other areas in Europe; this may be due to different monitoring systems and consumption habits. It is recommended that the surveillance and diagnosis of allergic reactions to parasites in fish products should be strengthened throughout the EU. The Panel encourages further studies on the disease, including the life cycle of the parasites, their geographic distribution and the role of farming practices in parasite propagation.

The Panel adds that in order to reduce cases of allergies it is important to provide health professionals, people working in the fish industry and the general public with information on the risks resulting from these parasites, as well as on best methods to eliminate them.
By considering the role of site-level factors and dispersal, metacommunity concepts have advanced our understanding of the processes that structure ecological communities. In dendritic systems, like streams and rivers, these processes may be impacted by network connectivity and unidirectional current. Streams and rivers are central to the dispersal of many pathogens, including parasites with complex, multi-host life cycles. Patterns in parasite distribution and diversity are often driven by host dispersal. We conducted two studies at different spatial scales (within and across stream networks) to investigate the importance of local and regional processes that structure trematode (parasitic flatworms) communities in streams. First, we examined trematode communities in first-intermediate host snails (Elimia proxima) in a survey of Appalachian headwater streams within the Upper New River Basin to assess regional turnover in community structure. We analyzed trematode communities based on both morphotype (visual identification) and haplotype (molecular identification), as cryptic diversity in larval trematodes could mask important community-level variation. Second, we examined communities at multiple sites (headwaters and main stem) within a stream network to assess potential roles of network position and downstream drift. Across stream networks, we found a broad scale spatial pattern in morphotype- and haplotype-defined communities due to regional turnover in the dominant parasite type. This pattern was correlated with elevation, but not with any other environmental factors. Additionally, we found evidence of multiple species within morphotypes, and greater genetic diversity in parasites with hosts limited to instream dispersal. Within network parasite prevalence, for at least some parasite taxa, was related to several site-level factors (elevation, snail density and stream depth), and total prevalence decreased from headwaters to main stem. Variation in the distribution and diversity of parasites at the regional scale may reflect differences in the abilities of hosts to disperse across the landscape. Within a stream network, species-environment relationships may counter the effects of downstream dispersal on community structure.
The study shows that tiny free-living house dust mites, which thrive in the mattresses, sofas and carpets of even the cleanest homes, evolved from parasites, which in turn evolved from free-living organisms millions of years ago.
On the phylogenetic tree they produced, house dust mites appear within a large lineage of parasitic mites, the Psoroptidia. These mites are full-time parasites of birds and mammals that never leave the bodies of their hosts. The U-M analysis shows that the immediate parasitic ancestors of house dust mites include skin mites, such as the psoroptic mange mites of livestock and the dog and cat ear mite.
Abstract
The anti-wasp immune response across the genus Drosophila.
One of the most common parasites of Drosophila in nature areparasitic wasps, which lay
their eggs in Drosophila larvae and pupae. Drosophilamelanogaster mounts an immune
response against wasp eggs and larvae termed melanoticencapsulation, whereby hemocytes
form a multi-cellular, multi-layered capsule around the intruder,turning it black with
melanin. We were interested in whether this melanotic encapsulationresponse is conserved
across the genus Drosophila. Thus, we assayed fly immune mechanismsand immune success
in a panel of 26 Drosophila species using a diversity of parasiticwasp species . We found
that different Drosophila species have unique hemocyte types notfound in D. melanogaster,
and that certain unique hemocyte lineages are involved in wasp eggencapsulation.
Additionally, we took an in depth look at D. melanogaster,due to its poor performance against
the wasp panel. Given that larvae of the fruitfly Drosophilamelanogaster consume yeasts
growing on rotting fruit and have evolved resistance to yeastfermentation products such as
ethanol, we decided to test whether ethanol protects fruitfliesfrom parasitoids. Here, we
show that exposure to ethanol reduces wasp oviposition intofruitfly larvae. Furthermore, if
infected, ethanol consumption by fruitfly larvae causes increaseddeath of wasp larvae
growing in the hemocoel and increased fly survival without need ofthe stereotypical anti-
wasp immune response. This multi-faceted protection afforded to flylarvae by ethanol is
significantly more effective against a generalist wasp than a waspthat specializes on D.
melanogaster. We found that fly larvae seek outethanol-containing food when
infected, indicating they use alcohol as an anti-wasp medicine. We also examined D. suzukii
and found that D. suzukii constitutively produces up to fivetimes more hemocytes than D.
melanogaster. Using a panel of 24 parasitoid wasp strainsrepresenting fifteen species, four
families, and multiple virulence strategies, we found that D.suzukii was significantly more
resistant to wasp parasitism than D. melanogaster. Thus, our datasuggest that the
relationship between hemocyte production and wasp resistance isgeneral. Finally, we
examined Z. indianus and found a novel hemocyte type to beinvolved in encapsulation ability.
