Parasitic diseases Sample Clauses

Parasitic diseases. Protozoan infections and external macroparasitism are unknown in Black Sea bottlenose dolphins. The internal macroparasites of Black Sea T. truncatus are represented by six species of helminths belonging to the flukes (Trematoda; three species), tapeworms (Cestoda; one species) and roundworms (Nematoda; two species) (Table 7). The life circles are not investigated for all of them. Table 7 – Helminths of Black Sea bottlenose dolphins Parasites References (first publications) Trematodes Braunina cordiformis Xxxxxxxx et al. (1963) Synthesium tursionis Delamure and Xxxxxxxxx (1966) Pholeter gastrophilus Xxxxxx et al. (1992); Krivokhizhin (1992) Cestodes Diphyllobothrium stemmacephalum Delamure (1945, 1971) Nematodes Stenurus ovatus Delamure (1945) Crassicauda sp. (C. grampicola?) Xxxxxx et al. (1992); Xxxxxxxxxxxx (1992) Flukes Braunina cordiformis and Synthesium tursionis were recorded in gastrointestinal tract; all infrequent findings of these parasites belong to the 1950s-1960s (Delamure et al., 1963; Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxxx, 1966). Their role in dolphin mortality remains unclear. Stomach fluke Pholeter gastrophilus, a causative agent of chronic deforming gastritis (pholeterosis), have been first reported in Black Sea T. truncatus in the early 1990s (Xxxxxx et al., 1992; Krivokhizhin, 1992). The extensiveness of this invasion came to 63% in stranded bottlenose dolphins (Krivokhizhin, 2000). In cases with pronounced sclerotic, necrotic and granulomatous lesions in gastric wall, the pholeterosis can be complicated by pyloric stenosis and, presumably, by gastric bleeding and perforation which may lead to animals death. The intestinal invasion, caused by tapeworm Diphyllobothrium stemmacephalum (diphyllobothriosis), is characterized by relatively low extensiveness (13% of stranded bottlenose dolphins are infected) (Krivokhizhin, 2000) and low to moderate intensity (1-14 worms per host) (S.V. Krivokhizhin, pers. comm.). A death, admittedly, may be caused by obstructive intestinal impassability (ileus, volvulus) due to the bundling of twisted helminths in gut’s lumen. The nematode Stenurus ovatus is known for a long time as a lung parasite of Black Sea bottlenose dolphins (Delamure, 1945), but any indices of the extent of this invasion and any opinion on its role in cetacean morbidity were not published before the 1990s (Krivokhizhin, 1997). Delamure (1955) recorded S. ovatus in a blowhole, bronchi and blood vessels. Among eight stranded animals, examined in 1989-...

If the costs of such medication are not covered by some other sources, the Employer will pay the cost for such medication. If the employee fails to take the required medication, she may be placed on an unpaid leave of absence during any influenza outbreak in the home until such time as the employee has been cleared by the public health or the Employer to return to the work environment. The only exception to this would be employees for whom taking the medication will result in the employee being physically ill to the extent that she cannot attend work. Upon written direction from the employee’s physician of such medical condition in consultation with the Employer’s physician, (if requested), the employee will be permitted to access their sick bank, if any, during any outbreak period. If there is a dispute between the physicians, the employee will be placed on unpaid leave. If the employee gets sick as a reaction to the drug and applies for WSIB the Employer will not oppose the application. If an employee is pregnant and her physician believes the pregnancy could be in jeopardy as a result of the influenza inoculation and/or the antiviral medication she shall be eligible for sick leave in circumstances where she is not allowed to attend at work as a result of an outbreak.
