3 Defining Parasites. Parasitoid A specialized insect parasite that is usually fatal to its host and therefore might be considered a predator rather than a classical parasite.

4 Defining Parasites. Some parasites live with their host most of their lives (e.g., tapeworms). Some parasites drop off after prolonged periods of feeding (e.g., ticks, leeches).

5 Defining Parasites. Are mosquitoes and wildebeests parasites? 6 Defining Parasites. Some flowering plants are parasitic on other plants. Holoparasites lack chlorophyll, and are totally dependent on another plant for water and nutrients. 7 Defining Parasites. Hemiparasites photosynthesize, but do not have a root system, so they rely on the host for water nutrient uptake.

8 Defining Parasites. Monophagous parasites that feed off one to three closely related species. Polyphagous parasites that feed off many host species.

9 Defining Parasites. Ectoparasites live on the outside of the host's body (e.g., fleas and ticks). Endoparasites live inside the host's body (e.g., tapeworms and bacteria).

10 Defining Parasites. Haustoria plant parasite outgrowths that penetrate inside a host plant to tap into it's nutrient supply.

Dodder 11 Many parasites use multiple hosts fluke. 12. Parasites outnumber free-living species 4 to 1. 13 Defense Against Parasites. Cellular defense reactions.

Eggs of parasitoids are rendered unviable by encapsulating them. 14 Defense Against Parasites. Immune responses in vertebrates. Phagocytes may engulf and digest small alien bodies, and encapsulate and isolate larger ones. Hosts may develop a 'memory,' that may make them immune to re-infection. 15 Defense Against Parasites.

Defensive displays or maneuvers. Actions intended to deter parasites. Grooming and preening behavior. Behavior intended to remove ectoparasites. 16 Modeling Parasitism. Differ from models of predation and herbivory.

Life cycles of many parasites involves intermediate hosts. Models of parasite population dynamics generally describe the population growth rate by the average number of new disease cases. 17 Modeling Parasitism. For microparasites, the number of infected hosts is the most important factor. 18 Modeling Parasitism. Parasites spread by a vector. Lifecycle of both parasite and vector become important in controlling diseases.

Farmers use insecticides to kill aphids, which transmit viral diseases to crops (rather than chemicals to kill the parasite). Yellow fever was eradicated in the US by inoculation rather than eradication of all mosquitoes. 19 Parasites Affect Host Populations. Using biological control to study the effects of parasites on hosts. Hawkins 1999 Biological control of pests, especially by parasitoids, was greater in exotic, simplified, managed habitats than in natural habitats.

20 Parasites Affect Host Populations. Control is most often exerted by a single parasitoid species, in contrast to natural systems, which require a suite of generalized enemies. 21 Parasites Affect Host Populations. Thus, biological control projects can not provide rigorous evidence of the importance of parasites in natural systems. 22 Parasites Affect Host Populations. Effects of introduced parasites on natural systems.

Chestnut blight in the Appalachian Mountains of North America. Virtually eliminated chestnut tree. Introduced in New York in 1904. 23 (No Transcript) 24 Parasites Affect Host Populations. In Britain, 25 million elm trees (out of 30 million) were wiped out by Dutch elm disease between 1960s and the 1990s.

25 Parasites Affect Host Populations. Rinderpest,. A virus with at least 47 natural artiodactyls hosts, most of which occur in Africa.

The virus belongs to a class known as morbilliviruses, which includes measles and distemper. 26 Parasites Affect Host Populations. Spread by food and water contaminated by dung of sick animals. Can be fatal to certain animals (buffalo, eland, kudu, and warthogs). 27 Parasites Affect Host Populations. Major epidemic swept through Africa in the 1890s, leaving vast areas uninhabited by certain species. 80 of hoofed stock died.

Disease traveled 5,000 km in eight years. Brought under control in the 1960s, through the use of cattle vaccinations. Endangered species. 28 Parasites Affect Host Populations. Many endangered species are threatened by diseases from domestic animals.

The demise of the marsupial wolf in Tasmania was because of a distemper-like disease obtained from domestic dogs. Some endangered species have been given vaccinations to protect them from disease. Mountain gorillas were vaccinated for measles.

29 Parasites Affect Host Populations. Natural systems. Massive mortality of big horn sheep from infection by lungworms (Protostrongylus stilesi and P. Predisposes animals to pathogens, which cause pneumonia.

Infection rates of 91 and mortalities of 50-75 have been reported. 30 Parasites Affect Host Populations. Colorado pine tree plantations and mistletoe. Mistletoe can cause 30 loss in extractable timber.

31 Parasites Affect Host Populations. Saline marshes in North America and the plant parasite, marsh dodder, Cuscuta salina. 32 Parasites Affect Host Populations.

Infects the most common plant in California marshes, Salicornia virginica thus promoting the growth of two other species, Limonium and Frankenia. 33 Parasite Removal Experiments.

Fuller and Blaustein (1996) compared the survivorship of parasite infected and uninfected free-living deer mice. Conducted in large outdoor enclosures. Decreased over-winter survivorship for those deer mice infected with the protozoan Eimeria arizonensis. Contamination spread through the digestion of contaminated feces.

34 Parasite Removal Experiments. Hurtrez-Bousses et al. (1997) reduced the number of blowfly larvae parasites in young blue tit* in Corsica. Blowfly larvae suck blood from chicks, causing anemia and high mortality. Removal was accomplished by removing nests from nest boxes, and microwaving the nests to kill the parasites, and then returning the nests and chicks. 35 Parasite Removal Experiments. Chicks from microwaved nests were found to have greater body weight at fledging.

36 Parasite Removal Experiments. Stiling and Rossi (1997) manipulated parasitic infection levels of a gall-making fly on a coastal plant, Borrichia frutescens, on isolated islands off the coast of Florida. 37 Parasite Removal Experiments. Low rates of parasitism treatment. Allowed potted plants on one island to be colonized by gallflies.

Plants were removed before parasitoids could find them. High rates of parasitism treatment.

They left plants on the island longer, to allow the parasites to colonize the galls. 38 Parasite Removal Experiments. Results High degree of parasitism of gallflies resulted in a significant reduction in the number of new galls. 39 Parasites Affect Host Populations.

The degree of mortality the parasite inflicts on the host depends on the age of the association between the two. Older associations are thought to cause less harm and may even evolve toward commensalisms or mutualisms. 40 Parasites Affect Communities. Parasites affect the presence or absence of various species in a community. 41 Parasites Affect Communities. The meningeal brainworm Parelaphostrongylus tenuis. Usual host is the white-tailed deer, which is tolerant of the infection.

All other cervids and the pronghorn antelope are potential hosts. Worm causes severe neurological damage. 42 Parasites Affect Communities.

The worm makes the white-tailed deer a potential competitor with other cervids, because they can not survive in the same area as the white-tailed deer. This phenomenon is known as apparent competition. 43 Parasites Biological Control. Not all parasites are detrimental to humans.

Many are used to protect crops from pests Biological control. Only 16 of classical biological control would qualify as economic successes.

44 Parasites Biological Control. Organisms used in biological control, are released in a 'hit or miss' technique Just release a bunch of parasites and predators, and hope that one of them does the job. New techniques Ex. Novel parasite-host associations.

Review of 548 control projects the more parasites that were released, the lower the rate of establishment. 45 Parasites Biological Control. Necessary attributes of a good agent of biological control (Huffaker and Kennett 1969).

General adaptability to the environment and host. High search capacity. 46 Parasites Biological Control. High rate of increase relative to the host's. General mobility adequate for dispersal.

Minimal time lag effects in responding to changes in host numbers. 47 Parasites Biological Control. Methods affecting the success of biological control (Stiling 1990). Factor of greatest importance climatic match between the control agent's locality of origin and the region in which it will be released.

48 Parasites Biological Control. Importance of climatic variation was underscored by another review of biological failures (Stiling 1993). Climate accounted for 34.5 of the failures. 49 Parasites Biological Control. Risks of biological control.

Reduction in native Hawaiian butterflies moths was partly due to wasp species introduced for biological control of lepidopteran crop pests. Wasps attacked target exotic species but also non-target native species. Stresses the importance of more narrowly focused release, rather than the traditional 'hit and miss' technique. 50 Parasites Biological Control. Risks of biological control. Problems with crops.

While it is of interest to ensure that the agent does not adversely affect the crop, however, non-crop plants are not as vigorously tested. 51 Summary.

The true definition of parasite is problematic. Parasites may include many species that feed on plants, plus more traditional parasites such as tapeworms, leeches, bacteria, viruses and parasitoids that attack animals. 80 of all life forms are considered parasitic. 52 Summary. The presence of various parasite defense mechanisms is testament to the importance of parasitism in nature.

53 Summary. Mathematical models suggest that effective parasites will keep their hosts alive as long as possible, thereby facilitating the transmission of parasites to additional hosts.

54 Summary. The huge influence of introduced diseases, such as chestnut blight and Dutch elm disease, provide evidence for the severe effects that parasites can have on a host's population and host density. 55 Summary. Parasites of insects can often be used as control mechanisms against crop and forest pests.

This technique is termed biological control. Finding the attributes of successful biological control agents is valuable. Unfortunately, biological control agents can have a significant impact on non-target natural populations.

Tornado Formation – A tornado is a violently rotating column of air in contact with and extending between a cloud (often a thunderstorm cloud) and the surface of the earth. Winds in most tornadoes blow at 100 mph or less, but in the most violent, and least frequent, wind speeds can exceed 250 mph. – Tornadoes, often nicknamed 'twisters,' typically track along the ground for a few miles or less and are less than 100 yards wide, though some monsters can remain in contact with the earth for well over fifty miles and exceed one mile in width. – Several conditions are required for the development of tornadoes and the thunderstorm clouds with which most tornadoes are associated. Abundant low level moisture is necessary to contribute to the development of a thunderstorm, and a 'trigger' (perhaps a cold front or other low level zone of converging winds) is needed to lift the moist air aloft.

– Atmospheric instability can also occur when dry air overlays moist air near the earth's surface. Finally, tornadoes usually form in areas where winds at all levels of the atmosphere are not only strong, but also turn with height in a clockwise, or veering, direction. – Tornadoes can appear as a traditional funnel shape, or in a slender rope-like form. Some have a churning, smoky look to them, and others contain 'multiple vortices' - small, individual tornadoes rotating around a common center. Even others may be nearly invisible, with only swirling dust or debris at ground level as the only indication of the tornado's presence. Copyright © 2010 Ryan P.
