    Notes: . A new species of Nematopsis (Apicomplexa, Porosporidae) is described from the mantle tissues of the seawater gastropod, Nerita ascencionis (Neritidae), collected in the Atlantic North off the coast of “Fernando de Noronha” Island (3° 47′ 57″ S, 32° 25′ 12″ W) situated about 350 km from the northeast coast of Brazil. Numerous oocysts, each contained in a parasitophorous vacuole, were found in the cytoplasm of phagocytes in the mantle tissue of the host. The phagocytes were surrounded by a thin wall composed of lucent material. The phagocyte cytoplasm contained a nucleus surrounded by numerous vesicles and some dense masses. The oocysts were 21.9 ± 0.5 μm long, and 11.5 ± 0.6 μm wide. The oocyst wall was 0.18–0.25 μm thick, and the apical zone contained a micropyle, 1.0–1.2 μm in diameter, covered by a canopy-like operculum about 0.25 μm thick. Externally, the oocyst wall was surrounded by numerous anastomosing microfibrils attached to the wall and extending towards the periphery of the parasitophorous vacuole. Some microfibrils formed a dense complex network that surrounded the oocyst in the middle of the parasitophorous vacuole, which opened only at the apical zone near the external region of the opercular system.On the basis of the data obtained by light and transmission electron microscopy and host specificity, the gregarine Nematopsis gigas is distinguished from the nearest species as a new species. The taxonomic affinities and morphological comparisons with other similar species of the same genus are discussed.

    Notes: . A new species of myxosporean from the gill filaments of the freshwater teleost fish, Acestrorhynchus falcatus collected in the Amazon river is described from light and transmission electron microscope observations. The mature spores (total length 32.3 [30.7–35.1] μ) and all developmental stages were found in the same sporogonic plasmodium. The ellipsoidal spore body consists of 2 unequal shell valves adhering together along the suture lines. Each valve, tapering as a caudal projection, forms a long tail (length 20.5 [18.0–21.7] μm). The tail was surrounded by a homogeneous sheath on its length. The polar capsules measuring 3.1 × 1.2 μm contain 3–4 coils of the polar filament. All surfaces of the immature and mature spores were surrounded by a closely adherent homogenous structural sheath, mainly thicker around the tails. The taxonomic affinities of this parasite to other species are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract. Henneguya rhamdia n. sp. is described in the gill filaments of the teleost fish Rhamdia quelen, collected from the Peixe Boi River, State of Pará, Brazil. This myxosporean produced spherical to ellipsoidal plasmodia, up to 300 μm in diameter, which contained developmental stages, including spores. Several dense bodies up to 2 μm in diameter were observed among the spores. The spore body was ellipsoidal (13.1 μm in length, 5.2 μm in width, and 2.5 μm in thickness) and each of the two valves presented a tapering tail (36.9 μm in length). These valves surrounded the binucleated sporoplasm cell and two equal ellipsoidal polar capsules (4.7 × 1.1 μm), which contained 10–11 (rarely 12) polar filament coils. The sporoplasm contained sporoplasmosomes with a laterally eccentric dense structure with a half-crescent section. Based on the data obtained by electron microscopy and on the host specificity, the spores differed from previously described Henneguya species, mainly in their shape and size, number and arrangement of the polar filament coils, and sporoplasmosome morphology.

    Notes: . Henneguya curimata n. sp. (Myxozoa, Myxobolidae) is described from the kidney of the teleost Curimata inormata collected in an estuarine region of the Amazon River, near Belem. Brazil. This myxosporean produces large cysts (0.6–1.2 mm in diam.) that represent plasmodia containing all life cycle stages, including spores. The spore body is ellipsoidal (∼ 16.6 μn in length and ∼ 6.2 μm in width), and each valve presents a tapering tail (∼ 19.1 μm in length). These valves surround the binucleate sporoplasm cell and two ellipsoidal polar capsules located side-by-side at the same level, measuring 6.5 × 1.2 μm each and containing 10–11 coils of the polar filament. On the basis of its host specificity and on data collected by light and electron microscopy, the organism, H. curimata n. sp. is distinguished as a new species. The taxonomic affinities and morphological comparisons with other similar species of the same genus are discussed.

    Notes: . The peroxisomes of the parasitic ciliate Ichthyophthirius multifiliis were studied, using ultrastructural and cytochemical techniques. In this ciliate most peroxisomes possess a circular or oval section less than 0.6 μm in diameter. However, some dumbbell-shaped and elongated peroxisomes could also be observed. These organelles were frequently associated with the mitochondria and were more abundant in the cell cortex than in the center of the ciliate. Small vesicles and dense nucleoids were usually present in the ultrathin sections of these peroxisomes. Peroxisomal vesicles and tubular structures were selectively impregnated with osmium tetroxide. Catalase was detected by cytochemical techniques in I. multifiliis peroxisomes.

    Notes: . Myxobolus desaequalis n. sp. is described from the gill lamellae of the freshwater fish Apteronotus albifrons, collected in the Amazon River, near the city of Salvaterra, Brazil. Large spherical plasmodia filled with disporic pansporoblasts and spores were observed. Ellipsoidal to pyriform spores are 18.3 μm length × 11.2 μm width × 4.4 μm thickness. The anterior end of the spores contain two extremely unequal pyriform polar capsules measuring: (larger): 11.2 μm length, 4.9 μm width, and an isofilar polar filament with 11 to 12 turns obliquely to the longitudinal axis; (smaller): 4.6 μm length, 2.8 μm width, and an isofilar polar filament with 4 to 5 turns, obliquely to the longitudinal axis.

    Notes: Abstract It is shown that a discrete Alfvén wave can explain the natural oscillations of solar loop prominences by considering the existence of a current flow. Discrete Alfvén waves are a new class of Alfvén waves which is described by the inclusion of the finite ion cyclotron frequency (ω/ω cl ≠0) and/or the equilibrium plasma current. In this paper we consider only the effect of the current since in solar prominences (ω/ω cl ≈0). We have modeled the solar prominences as a cylindrical plasma, surrounded by vacuum (corona), with L ≫ a where L and a are the plasma column, length, and radius, respectively. We have calculated the spectrum of the discrete Alfvén waves as function of the magnitude and shape of the plasma current.

    Notes: Abstract Light and electron microscopical data on a myxosporidian found in the testis of Moenkhausia oligolepis Gunther (Teleostei, Characidae, Tetragonopterinae) from the lower Amazon River near Belém, Brazil, are described. Based on spore morphology, we conclude that this species belongs to the family Myxobolidae and genus Henneguya. Mature spores (total length 27.5 (27.0–28.5) µm) were observed at the periphery of the testis. The ellipsoidal spore body consists of two unequal shell valves adhering together along the suture lines. The spore body is ellipsoidal, 14.0 µm long and 6.5 µm wide. Each valve tapers to a single caudal projection, forming a 13.5 µm long tail (13.0–14.5 µm). The spore is surrounded by a homogenous dense sheath. The polar capsules, measuring 9.0 × 2.0 µm, contain 12–13 coils of the polar filaments. Morphological differences between this material and other species of the genus Henneguya indicated the erection of a new species, which was named H. testicularis. The taxonomic affinities of this parasite are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract Haplosporidian spores from Ostrea edulis, previously described as Minchinia armoricana, were reexamined by light and electron microscopy. These spores were either free among host cells or enclosed in sporocysts. They contained two long epispore cytoplasm extensions (ECE), each possessing cytoskeletal structures corresponding to the filaments. After lysis and degradation of the ECE, these extensions disappeared and the spores became devoid of membrane-bound extensions. However, 2 long filaments (∼130 μm long) persisted that were closely attached, in opposition to the spore wall, by a bundle of 9–13 fibers each. Thus, we propose a revised description of M. armoricana (=H. armoricana) to confirm its placement in the genus Haplosporidium as H. armoricanum.
