Trichosomoides nasalis (arrows) in tissues of the nasal cavities. A, in the lamina propria, a worm in longitudinal section, at level of stichocytes. Note the large longitudinal vessel below, and another worm on left in the connective tissue. B, worm in a blood vessel of the lamina propria (V = blood vessel). C, four worms situated around the median concha, in the lamina propria (1), a blood vessel (2) and the pseudostratified epithelium (3), respectively. Scale bars in μm: A, 75; B, 30; C, 100.

Knowledge of the biology of the trichinelloid subfamily Trichosomoidinae is poor. Trichosomoides nasalis is a common parasite of Arvicanthis niloticus (Muridae) in Senegal, and a procedure for experimental infections has been established. It has been demonstrated that larvae develop in striated muscle fibres, similar to Trichinella spp., but they a...

Background: The polysphinctine wasp, Acrodactyla quadrisculpta, is a koinobiont ecto-parasitoid of spiders and is narrowly associated with the biology of its spider hosts. The larva, attached to the dorsal side of the abdomen, develops while the spider continues foraging. Shortly before pupation, the parasitoid larva manipulates the web-building ac...
