ABSTRACT
Enteritis developed in a 42-day-old female infant, and during hospitalization ileal perforation occurred unexpectedly. Serologic data, urinary viral culture, and pathologic studies of the resected ileal segment all suggested cytomegalovirus infection. Gastrointestinal involvement in congenital or perinatal infection with this virus may be relatively more common than previously recognized.

Six species of Paratylenchus Micoletzky, 1922, two of them new, are reported from the Amazon Basin of Brazil. P. colbrani is reported for the first time in Brazil. Extended ranges, along with additional measurements and descriptions, are given for P. leptus, P. salubris, and P. perlatus. P. mimulus Raski, 1975 is synonymized with P. salubris Raski, 1975. P. flectospiculus n. sp. is distinguished by four lines in the lateral field, short stylet (21-24 mum), and spicules with distinct distal bend ventrad. P. rostrocaudatus n. sp. is distinguished by three lines in the lateral field, short stylet (15-16 mum), and beaked tail terminus.
ABSTRACT
Xiphidorus amazonensis n. sp. was found in the rhizospheres of Jatropha curcas, Musa sp., Anona muricata, Cassia tora, Panicum laxum, Paspalum fasciculatum, Aeschynomene sensitiva, Saccharum officinarum, Manihot esculenta, Abelmoschus esculentus, Tamarindus indica, Mangifera indica, Vigna unguiculata, Zea mays, Commelina sp., Cyperus rotundus, Fimbristylis miliacea, Citrus sinensis, and Eichhornia crassipes on the Amazon River island of Xiborena, approximately 40 km southeast of Manaus, capital of the State of Amazonas. The type habitat is flooded annually for about 6 months by the Amazon River. Xiphidorus amazonensis n. sp. differs from the closely related species Xiphidorus yepesara Monteiro, 1976 by the larger size, by a, b, and c values, and by the rounded tail terminus. It also resembles Xiphidorus tucumanensis Chaves and Coomans, 1984, but can be distinguished by its larger size, larger a, b, and c values, more conical female tail, bilobed amphidial pouch, and the presence of a spermatheca full of sperm.
