The study of protozoans as plant parasites does not at present exist as a discipline per se in plant pathology, despite the fact that plant trypanosomes (Phytomonas spp.) are responsible for serious losses in various economically important crops. The intention of this course is to direct the attention of graduates who already have an interest in parasitology, phytopathology and general biology to the importance of this new area of plant pathology. Course Mode The week-long, intensive course, consisting of a series of lectures given by international specialists in the field and practical experience, including field work, sampling and laboratory analysis (40 contact hours in total), will be divided into the following modules: - epidemiology of the plant trypanosomes and the host-parasite relationship; - isolation and in vitro cultivation of the falgellates and a morphological study at the ultrastructural level; - molecular characterisation; their sources of energy and its metabolism, with special emphasis on the study of glycosomes; - diagnosis and future perspectives for chemotherapy and control of these parasite. - There will also be an overall evaluation of their current economic impact on crops.

The first child, whose mother had contracted kala-azar in southern Sudan, was born in Khartoum, where no transmission of leishmaniasis is currently occurring. At seven months, the child had fever, lymphadenopathy, and hepatosplenomegaly; leishmania parasites were detected in the bone marrow. The child died and an autopsy showed leishmania parasites in all tissues including the lungs, kidneys, and thymus. In the second case, parasites were found in the placenta of a five-month-old fetus. These two cases demonstrate the importance of follow-up of infants born to mothers with leishmaniasis.

AU: Herman-R; Nolan-TJ; Fahey-JR SO: Am-J-Trop-Med-Hyg. 1982 Jul; 31(4): 730-9 PY: 1982 AB: Female hamsters, infected intracardially (i.c.) with 1.0--2.0 x 10(5) amastigotes of Leishmania donovani produced offspring, following mating, which, when immunized subcutaneously with 1.0 x 10(7) amastigotes at 8 weeks of age, were more resistant to i.c. challenge 6 weeks later than were hamsters born to non-infected mothers. Offspring of mothers infected with as many as 6.0 x 10(6) amastigotes demonstrated no greater capacity for immunization than did those of mothers infected with 1.0 x 10(5) amastigotes. Sensitization of offspring of infected mothers apparently is transplacental since the effect could only be seen in offspring of infected mothers and not in those of normal mothers weaned by infected dams. Offspring of female hamsters immunized by footpad inoculation of 1.0 x 10(7) amastigotes exhibited reduced spleen parasite burdens when challenged at 8.5 weeks of age and reduced spleen and liver parasite burdens when challenged at 16 weeks of age, compared to offspring of nonimmunized hamsters; this effect was not noted following challenge of offspring of the two groups within 1 day of weaning. The passage of parasites from mother to young during gestation and/or nursing apparently does not occur since, at 125 days of age, no parasites were observed in spleen or liver impression smears of offspring of hamsters infected i.c. with 6.0 x 10(6) amastigotes while parasites were seen in such smears of hamsters infected, 120 days previously, with 10 amastigotes i.c. Thus, sensitization to immunization in offspring of infected hamsters and to challenge of offspring of immunized hamsters is apparently transplacental, effected either by soluble leishmanial antigen, soluble lymphocyte (or transfer) factor, or by cells.
