Two new species of the genus Metapocyrtus subgenus Trachycyrtus, Metapocyrtus baltazarae sp. nov. Cabras & Bollino (Luzon) and M. siargaonon sp. nov. Bollino & Cabras (Mindanao) from the Philippines are described, illustrated and compared with related species. The new species epithets are derived in honor of Dr. Clare Baltazar as Metapocyrtus (Trachycyrtus) baltazarae sp.nov., and Metapocyrtus (Trachycyrtus) siargaonon sp.nov. after the indigenous inhabitants of Siargao Island.

As a universal language across the bacterial kingdom, the quorum sensing signal autoinducer-2 (AI-2) can coordinate many bacterial group behaviors. However, unknown AI-2 receptors in bacteria may be more than what has been discovered so far, and there are still many unknown functions for this signal waiting to be explored. Here, we have identified a membrane-bound histidine kinase of the pathogenic bacterium , AsrK, as a receptor that specifically detects AI-2 under low boron conditions.

The present paper comprises a systematic survey of trematodes and acanthocephalans based on helminthological examinations of 64 specimens of 14 species of freshwater fishes, belonging to six families of four fish orders, mostly from localities in Hubei Province, central China, collected in the autumn of 2002. A total of 15 trematode species (in 12 families) and 5 acanthocephalan species (in four families) was recorded. Almost all parasites are briefly described and illustrated and problems concerning their morphology, taxonomy, hosts and geographical distribution are discussed.
