    Abstract Adult specimens of Pomphorhynchus fuhaiensis were identified from common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) in Ulungur Lake of northwest China, and acanthors, acanthellae, cystacanths dissected from Gammarus lacustris in a small tributary of Ulungur River for the first time. The acanthocephalans were also found in crucian carp (Carassius carassius L.), tench (Tinca tinca L.), oriental bream (Abramis brama orientalis Berg), and ide (Leuciscus idus L.) in the lake. This species is distinguished from other species in Pomphorhynchus by its large, spherical bulb and very long neck as well as by a cylindrical proboscis armed with 15–17 longitudinal rows of 9–12 hooks each. The anterior proboscis hooks are almost uniform in size and shape, the sixth hook in a short row and the seventh hook in long row decrease abruptly in size posteriorly with the last end hook being a little larger than the prebasal hook, and in a ring; posterior proboscis hooks much more widely spaced. Furthermore, the lemnisci are claviform. The mean neck:trunk ratio is about 0.5, which is larger than most other species in Pomphorhynchus. Females are larger than males. In males, the testes are in one-third to one-half of the trunk, equal, ovoid–spheroid, usually contiguous, and small relative to the body size, and there are 6 ovoid cement glands. Pomphorhynchus fuhaiensis is similar to Pomphorhynchus laevis but can be distinguished by the number of longitudinal rows of hooks. Pomphorhynchus laevis is armed with 18–20 longitudinal rows of 11–13 hooks, P. fuhaiensis is armed with 15–17 longitudinal rows of 9–12 hooks.

    Abstract Acanthocephalans are a small group of obligate endoparasites. They and rotifers are recently placed in a group called Syndermata. However, phylogenetic relationships within classes of acanthocephalans, and between them and rotifers, have not been well resolved, possibly due to the lack of molecular data suitable for such analysis. In this study, the mitochondrial (mt) genome was sequenced from Pallisentis celatus (Van Cleave, 1928), an acanthocephalan in the class Eoacanthocephala, an intestinal parasite of rice-field eel, Monopterus albus (Zuiew, 1793), in China. The complete mt genome sequence of P. celatus is 13 855 bp long, containing 36 genes including 12 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs) and 2 ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) as reported for other acanthocephalan species. All genes are encoded on the same strand and in the same direction. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that acanthocephalans are closely related with a clade containing bdelloids, which then correlates with the clade containing monogononts. The class Eoacanthocephala, containing P. celatus and Paratenuisentis ambiguus (Van Cleave, 1921) was closely related to the Palaeacanthocephala. It is thus indicated that acanthocephalans may be just clustered among groups of rotifers. However, the resolving of phylogenetic relationship among all classes of acanthocephalans and between them and rotifers may require further sampling and more molecular data.

    Abstract The two Toll-like receptors, TLR1 and TLR2 were cloned from orange-spotted grouper, Epinephelus coioides, an important teleost fish in mariculture of Asia. The cDNA sequences of TLR1 and TLR2 are 3195 and 3439bp long, with an open reading frame (ORF) of 2406 and 2466bp, encoding 801 and 821 amino acids, respectively. The TLR family motifs, i.e. leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domains and Toll/interleukin (IL)-1 receptor (TIR) domains are conserved in the TLR1 and TLR2, with nine and ten leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domains, and with one TIR domain, respectively. The TLR1 and TLR2 had a constitutive expression in examined organs/tissues of naïve orange-spotted grouper, and an increased expression of TLR1 and TLR2 at mRNA level was observed in immune organs such as in spleen of LPS and Poly(I:C) stimulated fish. An increased expression of TLR1 and TLR2 was also recorded in immune organs of the fish injected with the bacterial pathogen, Vibrio alginolyticus. Similarly, a significant rise in the expression of MyD88, an adaptor molecule which forms signalling complex with intracellular TIR domain, thus leading to the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1β, was also observed in the LPS- and Poly(I:C)-stimulated, and V. alginolyticus-infected fish, indicating the possible role of TLR1 and TLR2 in the MyD88 signalling pathway. However, the mechanism involved in the increased expression of TLR1 and TLR2 following LPS and Poly(I:C) stimulation is at present unknown in fish, and further research should be carried out to identify ligands of fish TLR1 and TLR2 in order to understand the function of these receptors.
