Soft cover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. Contents: Introduction. History of Indian work on metacercariae. 1. Group tetracotyle faust, 1918. 2. Group neascus hughes, 1927. 3. Group prohemistomulum Ciurea, 1933. 4. Group diplostomulum hughes, 1929. From the introduction: The developmental stages in the…life cycle of digeneans include a number of larvae viz., miracidium sporocyst redia cercaria and metacercaria. The cercaria develops inside sporocyst or redia. To become infective cercariae undergo a further developmental phase and are known as metacercariae. Family schistosomatidae and Azygiidae are exceptions wherein the cercariae penetrate the skin of the definitive host or ingested directly by definitive host thus without having a metacercarial stage. The fully developed cercaria emerges from snail and swims for sometimes in water. It forms a cyst or leads a free life in an intermediate host before entering the final host. Before the formation of cyst the cercaria sheds its tail. The cyst wall helps the larva to overcome the adverse climatic conditions. During this stage, certain structures of adult worms develop, physiological activities and the metabolic processes continue and thereafter further development proceeds. Mostly the metacercaria resembles its cercaria. The larva prepares itself to cope up with the new environmental conditions in final host. A perusal of Indian literature shows that little attention has been paid by workers on this peculiar but interesting larval form as regards its morphology development physiology and biochemistry. The term mesocercaria is used to describe prolonged cercarial stages which occur in the genus Alaria. The time required for metacercariae to become infective after encystement varies from few minutes to several months.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - These chapters provide valuable and comprehensive information on a variety of hazards, including both scientific and social aspects of disasters. The work introduces the concept of large, medium and small scale hazards, and includes many useful cas…e studies as well as working examples of theoretical concepts.As readers will acknowledge, today the distinction between natural and technological hazards is becoming blurred and a new concept of NATECH hazards is evolving. For permanent hazards (such as tides, wind waves, coastal erosion and climate change) routine predictions are made, whereas for evanescent hazards (including droughts, sea level rise, and coastal subsidence), monitoring of various parameters is the norm. Only for episodic hazards (for example hurricanes, winter storms, tsunamis, and river floods), early warning systems are used, with varying degrees of success.The book explores how, for certain episodic hazards liketornadoes, landslides, forest fires, snow avalanches, and volcanic eruptions, the early warning systems are still in various stages of development. Readers will gain knowledge of theoretical and practical concepts of risk evaluation which assist in better understanding of disaster dynamics, and readers will become better equipped in quantification of disaster risk and vulnerability. The author explains how risk reduction initiatives, taking into account stakeholders' participation and perception, can provide a roadmap to building resilient communities and cities.This book will be useful not only to practitioners of disaster management but also to research scholars and graduate students. It is highly readable and will appeal more broadly too, to all those who are interested in the very latest thinking on, and expert analysis of, hazards and disasters.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Contents: 1. Introduction. 2. History and classification. 3. Methodology. 4. Acknowledgements. 5. References. Studies on larval trematodes began in 18th century. Muller (1773) for the first time coined the term "Cercaria" to describe microscopic animals with tails. It was used as generic name because t…he larval stages were considered adult trematodes as no one could suspect the need for a host change to complete life cycle. In early 19th century cercariae were also considered to be independent organisms of unknown taxonomic position. After study of Steenstrup (1842) the cercariae were regarded as larvae which attain sexual maturity after entering into gut of vertebrates. Diesing (1855) still considered them to be adults which later in 1858 he accepted as larval trematodes. With increasing knowledge, their importance in taxonomy was realised. Luhe (1909) made first serious effort to classify them. Our focus on Indian Fauna of Cercaria and Zoological Survey of India has been the lead as afar as basic research in malacology and helminthology in concerned. The two disciplines have grown up also most together. In fact, the thrust that was given to freshwater mollusc studies in the beginning of this century was largely due to the fact that these are intermediate hosts of helminth parasites, namely the flukes or the trematodes.
