    Abstract Parahepatospora carcini n. gen. n. sp., is a novel microsporidian parasite discovered infecting the cytoplasm of epithelial cells of the hepatopancreas of a single Carcinus maenas specimen. The crab was sampled from within its invasive range in Atlantic Canada (Nova Scotia). Histopathology and transmission electron microscopy were used to show the development of the parasite within a simple interfacial membrane, culminating in the formation of unikaryotic spores with 5-6 turns of an isofilar polar filament. Formation of a multinucleate meront (>12 nuclei observed) preceded thickening and invagination of the plasmodial membrane, and in many cases, formation of spore extrusion precursors (polar filaments, anchoring disk) prior to complete separation of pre-sporoblasts from the sporogonial plasmodium. This developmental feature is intermediate between the Enterocytozoonidae (formation of spore extrusion precursors within the sporont plasmodium) and all other Microsporidia (formation of spore extrusion precursors after separation of sporont from the sporont plasmodium). SSU rRNA-based gene phylogenies place P. carcini within microsporidian Clade IV, between the Enterocytozoonidae and the so-called Enterocytospora-clade, which includes Enterocytospora artemiae and Globulispora mitoportans. Both of these groups contain gut-infecting microsporidians of aquatic invertebrates, fish and humans. According to morphological and phylogenetic characters, we propose that P. carcini occupies a basal position to the Enterocytozoonidae. We discuss the discovery of this parasite from a taxonomic perspective and consider its origins and presence within a high profile invasive host on the Atlantic Canadian coastline.

    Abstract Dikerogammarus haemobaphes, the 'demon shrimp', is an amphipod native to the Ponto-Caspian region. This species invaded the UK in 2012 and has become widely established. Dikerogammarus haemobaphes has the potential to introduce non-native pathogens into the UK, creating a potential threat to native fauna. This study describes a novel species of microsporidian parasite infecting 72.8% of invasive D. haemobaphes located in the River Trent, UK. The microsporidium infection was systemic throughout the host; mainly targeting the sarcolemma of muscle tissues. Electron microscopy revealed this parasite to be diplokaryotic and have 7-9 turns of the polar filament. The microsporidium is placed into the 'Cucumispora' genus based on host histopathology, fine detail parasite ultrastructure, a highly similar life-cycle and SSU rDNA sequence phylogeny. Using this data this novel microsporidian species is named Cucumispora ornata, where 'ornata' refers to the external beading present on the mature spore stage of this organism. Alongside a taxonomic discussion, the presence of a novel Cucumispora sp. in the United Kingdom is discussed and related to the potential control of invasive Dikerogammarus spp. in the UK and the health of native species which may come into contact with this parasite.

    Abstract Neurons that originate from pre-vertebral sympathetic ganglia, the splanchnic-celiac-superior mesenteric ganglion complex (SCSMG) in mouse, have important roles in control of organs of the upper abdomen. Here, we present a protocol for the isolation of the mouse sympathetic SCSMG. We describe steps for surgical incision, ganglia isolation, ganglia fine dissection, and whole-mount SCSMG after clearing-enhanced 3D (Ce3D) clearing method and immunohistochemistry. Given the importance of mice in studies of that control, this protocol aims to assist biomedical researchers in the dissection of the mouse SCSMG.

    Abstract The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is currently the biggest public health challenge to the biomedical community of the last century. Despite multiple public health measures,1, 2, 3 there remains an urgent need for pharmacologic therapies to treat infected patients, minimize mortality, and decrease pressures on intensive care units and health systems and optimally, they should also decrease subsequent transmission.

    Abstract Introduction: Chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia (CIT) is an arduous complication of chemotherapy to be dealt with, and there are many unmet needs in this field to be addressed on the global front. We have conducted this study to contribute to the understanding of existing knowledge gaps of CIT management and highlight the direction to focus future investigations.
    Methods: This was an academic single-institution report on a cross-sectional study evaluating CIT management practices using platelet (PLT) transfusions by haematologists and oncologists in Armenia.
    Results: Physicians' opinions differed significantly when it came to defining thrombocytopenia by PLT levels. 13.2% of those surveyed considered thrombocytopenia to be when PLT counts fall below 180 × 10
    Conclusion: CIT is a complication of interest to physicians worldwide and has not been resolved yet. This is the first conducted survey regarding CIT and the initial step for further research.
