Convolutriloba retrogemma is a reddish-brown acoel 2 mm in length also commonly known as redbug, red planaria, rust flatworm, or simply red flatworm. It is a marine animal that gets energy from its endosymbiotic algae or from the consumption of small invertebrates such as copepods and rotifers.
Free-living flatworms are mostly predators, and live in water or in shaded, humid terrestrial environments, such as leaf litter. Cestodes (tapeworms) and trematodes (flukes) have complex life-cycles, with mature stages that live as parasites in the digestive systems of fish or land vertebrates , and intermediate stages that infest secondary hosts.
General Non-human Great Ape Susceptibility to COVID-19 Although the susceptibility of COVID infection among many non-human primates is unknown, all catarrhines, monkeys and apes from Africa and Eurasia, have the same set of 12 amino acid residues as human ACE2 where SARs-COVID enters the host cell leading to infection.
Like other related marine flatworms, the new species has both male and female genitalia, the study said. Huidong marine flatworms have at least 170 eyes on their heads, researchers said.
Thysanozoon nigropapillosum is quite common along the external reef in the shallow sub-tidal zone. It can swim by undulating and rhythmically contracting the body margins. It feeds on tunicates, using its mouth and large pharynx to engulf Didemnum spp., and later regurgitates food pellets containing the calcareous spicules present in their tunic
Cestoda is a class of parasitic worms in the flatworm phylum (Platyhelminthes). Most of the species—and the best-known—are those in the subclass Eucestoda; they are ribbon-like worms as adults, commonly known as tapeworms. Their bodies consist of many similar units known as proglottids—essentially packages of eggs which are regularly shed ...
The ban on sea activities was said to be an attempt by North Korea's erratic leader Kim Jong Un to, quote, "prevent seawater from being infected with the virus."
This article aims at keeping an up-to-date list of Coronavirus strains and subspecies successfully isolated and cultured in laboratory, a task which is often challenging. When relevant it shall include a few synthetic chimera as well as some strains that were only propagated in laboratory animals.
