Description of Triaenorhina burti n. sp. (Cestoda: Paruterinidae) from the Malabar trogon Harpactes fasciatus (Pennant) (Aves: Trogoniformes: Trogonidae) in Sri Lanka.

Triaenorhina burti n. sp. (Cyclophyllidea: Paruterinidae) is described from Harpactes fasciatus (Trogoniformes: Trogonidae) from the Southern Province of Sri Lanka. The new species is characterised by: a body 24-32 mm long; 44 rostellar hooks alternating in two closely adjacent regular rows, with lengths of 63-65 microm (anterior row) and 39-41 microm (posterior row); regularly alternating genital pores; testes divided into two groups by the ovary and vitellarium; a gravid uterus forming a single oval sac; and a cylindrical paruterine organ not reaching the anterior proglottis margin. A key to the seven recognised species of Triaenorhina Spasskii & Shumilo, 1965 is presented.

Redescription and new data on Microsomacanthus jaegerskioeldi (Fuhrmann, 1913) (Cestoda: Hymenolepididae).

Microsomacanthus jaegerskioeldi (Fuhrmann, 1913) is redescribed and illustrated on the basis of type-material from Somateria mollissima captured in the vicinity of Göteborg (Sweden) and specimens from the same host from the Barents Sea, off Iceland and in the East Siberian Sea. A lectotype is designated and an amended diagnosis is provided. Previous reports of this parasite in various hosts and localities are discussed, and the geographical distribution and host range of the species are updated.

Parasites ana malabsorption.

Intestinal parasites not only cause diarrheal illnesses but may also cause significant malabsorption in man. Separation of true malabsorption caused by a particular parasite from other factors that may coexist with and even mimic malabsorption, such as malnutrition may be very difficult. Despite these problems, it appears that giardiasis, coccidiasis, strongyloidiasis and capillariasis cause malabsorption of many important nutrients. D. latum interfere with vitamin B12 absorption.
