    Notes: Myxobolus pseudodispar (Gorbunova) is a common parasite of the muscle of roach, Rutilus rutilus L., whereas its actinosporean development occurs in two oligochaete alternate hosts. This paper reports the complete developmental cycle of this parasite in the oligochaete alternate host Tubifex tubifex and the roach. In laboratory experiments, parasite-free T. tubifex specimens were infected by myxospores of M. pseudodispar collected from roach in Lake Balaton. Parasite-free roach fingerlings were infected with floating triactinospores (TAMs) released from oligochaetes on day 69 after challenge. Young plasmodia and spores in roach were first recorded on day 80 post-exposure (p.e.). Myxospores collected from experimentally infected roach initiated a new development in T. tubifex and the resulting TAMs infected roach. No infection of roach resulted from feeding oligochaetes containing mature triactinospores.

    Development of Myxobolus bramae (Myxosporea: Myxobolidae) in an oligochaete alternate host, Tubifex tubifex (2000)

    Notes: The development of Myxobolus bramae Reuss 1906, a myxosporean parasite of the gills of common bream Abramis brama L., was studied in experimentally infected oligochaetes. In five experiments, uninfected Tubifex tubifex (Müller) and Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri Claparéde were exposed to mature myxospores of M. bramae. In four experiments triactinomyxon type actinospores developed in Tubifex specimens but no infection was found in Limnodrilus. Actinospores were released from oligochaetes 70–81 days after initial exposure. At that time pansporocysts containing eight actinospores were located in the gut epithelium of experimental oligochaetes, but free actinosporean stages were also found in their gut lumen. Each actinospore had three pyriform polar capsules and a barrel-shaped sporoplasm with 32 secondary cells. The spore body joined the three caudal projections with a stout style. The total length of the actinospore was 139 μm on the average.

    Morphological and molecular biological studies on intramuscular Myxobolus spp. of cyprinid fish (2002)

    Notes: The validity of Myxobolus species infecting the skeletal muscles of six cyprinid fish species was studied by morphological and molecular biological methods. Intracellularly developing Myxobolus spores identified as M. cyprini from the common carp, M. musculi from the barbel, and M. pseudodispar from the roach, rudd, common bream and white bream were very similar in their shape and size. Nonetheless, in species identified as M. pseudodispar, the occurrence of spores with an asymmetrical shape was higher than in M. cyprini, while asymmetrical spores were only occasionally found in M. musculi. The DNA sequence analysis of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-amplified 18S rRNA gene of Myxobolus spores from these fish showed a similar phylogeny to that of their host species. As morphological studies and DNA sequence analysis demonstrated slight but real differences in the spores infecting muscles of the six cyprinid species, it is suggested that M. musculi, M. pseudodispar and M. cyprini are valid species.

    Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (2002)

    Notes: Summary  We determined the prevalence of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCAs) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and evaluated the correlation between ANCA positivity and clinical features. Forty-one patients with SLE and two control groups were examined. One of the control groups consisted of 15 patients with systemic vasculitis, and the other of 12 healthy blood donors. A quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technique was used to measure the serum cytoplasmic ANCA (cANCA) and perinuclear ANCA (pANCA) levels. cANCA positivity was found in three patient samples, and pANCA positivity in 10 SLE patients. The occurrence and titres of both ANCA types in SLE patients were similar to those in healthy controls and significantly lower than those in patients with systemic vasculitis. The clinical picture and antibody profile were similar in ANCA-positive and ANCA-negative SLE patients. We conclude that measurement of ANCAs does not provide any additional diagnostic or prognostic data in SLE.

    Notes: Abstract Specific antibodies directed against special hemidesmosomal proteins are involved in the pathogenesis of bullous pemphigoid (BP), and detection of these antibodies is crucial for a correct diagnosis. As the BP autoantigen primary structures are known, the question was addressed as to whether it is possible to demonstrate circulating antibodies against BP autoantigens (BPAG1 and BPAG2) by means of an ELISA system, using antigenic epitopes. With the help of the programs Peptidestructure and Plotstructure, antigenic epitopes of BP antigens were predicted, chemically synthesized and screened using serum from ¶43 proven BP patients. The coding sequences of the best antigenic epitopes were then chemically synthesized and inserted as monomer and homo- or hetero-oligomer forms into fusion-expression plasmids (PGEX-4T, Pharmacia) in-frame to the C-terminus of glutathione-S-transferase. Fusion products were expressed and purified from Escherichia coli cells by affinity chromatography. The recombinant proteins were used for the detection of antibodies in the serum of 43 BP patients and of 60 controls (including 30 healthy persons, 22 patients with pemphigus vulgaris and 8 patients with other bullous dermatoses). Use of the homo- and hetero-oligomers of the recombinant fusion peptides increased the sensitivity of the disease-specific antibody detection. When a mixture of the best recombinant fusion proteins was used, the sensitivity of the ELISA assays in the case of the BP patients’ serum was 0.90. This system could form the basis of a rapid and simple system for the diagnosis of BP.

    Notes: Abstract Thirty-two specimens of 11 freshwater fish species from Lake Biwa, Japan were surveyed for coccidian infections. Four fish species proved to be infected with apicomplexans belonging to the genus Goussia. Altogether, seven Goussia species were found. Oöcysts of four species inhabiting the intestinal epithelium were shed at the sporulated stage. Two other intestinal species left the fish unsporulated. A few relatively large and aged oöcysts of a further species were found in the renal tubules. The sporulated intestinal species were described as Goussia biwaensis n. sp., G. grygieri n. sp., G. nipponica n. sp. and G. wakabayashii n. sp.
