Abstract

Two new species of Scyphophyllidium Woodland, 1927 are described from the Hooktooth shark, Chaenogaleus macrostoma (Bleeker), from the Persian Gulf, Iran. Scyphophyllidium hormuziense n. sp. is assigned to morphological category 2 of its genus because it possesses bothridial marginal loculi and an apical sucker on each flat bothridium, and lacks bothridial facial loculi. Within category 2, it is distinguished from its congeners, except for S. janineae (Ruhnke, Healy and Shapero, 2006), by possessing, rather than lacking, a prominent cephalic peduncle. It differs from S. janineae in the distribution of the vitelline follicles. Scyphophyllidium iraniense n. sp. is assigned to morphological category 5 because its bothridia are essentially flat and lack proximal apertures, marginal loculi, facial loci and semi-circular muscle bands, and bears weakly serrate gladiate spinitriches on its distal bothridial surfaces. Within its morphological category, the presence of a long cephalic peduncle distinguishes S. iraniense n. sp. from its congeners lacking this structure or possessing a short cephalic peduncle. It further differs from S. arnoldi (Ruhnke and Thompson, 2006) and S. typicum (Subhapradha, 1955) in total length, from S. paulum (Linton, 1897) in lacking a conspicuous band of muscles along the locular periphery of the bothridia, and from S. kirstenae (Ruhnke, Healy and Shapero, 2006) in the distribution of the vitelline follicles. This study brings the number of the valid Scyphophyllidium species of the Persian Gulf to five., (© 2024. The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature B.V.)

Abstract

A recent study conducted at Hamadan University of Medical Sciences in Iran focused on echinococcosis, a global infectious disease caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus. The study examined the seroprevalence of human cystic echinococcosis (CE) in Nahavand, Hamadan, Western Iran, and identified risk factors associated with the disease. The study found that out of 400 subjects, 1.25% tested positive for CE IgG antibodies. The majority of positive cases were rural residents above the age of 50, with housewives and self-employed individuals having the highest antibody titers. The researchers concluded that although the frequency of hydatid cyst infection in Nahavand is lower than the national average, health programs are necessary to control this parasitic infection.
