| haemogregarines of freshwater turtles from southeast asia with a description of haemogregarina sacaliae sp. n. and a redescription of haemogregarina pellegrini laveran and pettit, 1910. | the uniform morphology of the developmental stages of haemogregarina species and the insufficient information supplied by the simplistic descriptions of previous authors complicates their differential diagnosis and proper species identification. in this study, we detected haemogregarina spp. in 6 out of 22 (27.2%) examined turtles originating from southeast asia, malayemys subtrijuga (n = 4), sacalia quadriocellata (n = 1) and platysternon megacephalum (n = 1), and compared them with the availab ... | 2015 | 25736219 |
| a new genus and species of turtle blood fluke (digenea: schistosomatoidea) from the mekong snail-eating turtle, malayemys subtrijuga (schlegel & müller) (testudines: geoemydidae) in vietnam, with a reassessment of related asiatic turtle blood flukes and molecular phylogeny. | platt sinuosus roberts & bullard n. g., n. sp. (type-species) infects the kidney and mesenteric blood vessels of mekong snail-eating turtles, malayemys subtrijuga (schlegel & müller), in the mekong river basin. species of platt roberts & bullard n. g. are unique by the combination of having a papillate ventral sucker, vasa efferentia that are dorsal to the gonads, a massive cirrus-sac that is directed anteriad or laterad, and a vitellarium that surrounds the intestinal caeca. the new species res ... | 2018 | 29357101 |
| ultrastructural study of the dorsal lingual epithelium of the asian snail-eating turtle, malayemys subtrijuga. | the asian snail-eating turtle, malayemys subtrijuga, is classified phylogenetically as a member of the family emydinae. members of this family usually live in small rivers or ponds. however, this species is relatively well-adapted to terrestrial life. we describe here the light, scanning electron and transmission electron microscopic appearance of the dorsal lingual epithelium of the snail-eating turtle and we compare the results to those obtained from other freshwater turtles in an attempt to c ... | 1996 | 8638768 |
| redescription of the siamese shield leech placobdelloides siamensis with new host species and geographic range. | the siamese shield leech placobdelloides siamensis (oka, 1917) sawyer, 1986 (euhirudinea: glossiphoniidae) was collected from five new host species, southeastern asian box turtle (cuora amboinensis), yellow-headed temple turtle (heosemys annandalii), malayan snail-eating turtle (malayemys macrocephala), mekong snail-eating turtle (m. subtrijuga), and khorat snail-eating turtle (m. khoratensis) and was found for the first time in udon thani, thailand. examination of live leeches provided, for the ... | 2018 | 30474597 |
