Fleas (siphonaptera) collected from small mammals in Southern Viet Nam in 1997-1998.

We report on fleas collected from small mammals in two forests, a lowland semideciduous dipterocarp forest and a highland evergreen forest, in southern Viet Nam. In the lowland forest, only one species of flea (Xenopsylla vexabilis Jordan) infested a single species of rodent [Berylmys berdmorei (Blyth)]. In the highland forest, seven species of fleas were collected from eight species of small mammals. Three species of fleas, Lentistivalius insolli (Traub), Lentistivalius occidentayunnanus Li, Xie & Gong, and Gryphopsylla jacobsoni (Jordan & Rothschild), collected from mammals in the highland forest represent new records for Viet Nam.

[Selective synchronous inhalation and device for its conduction].

80 patients with exacerbation of chronic catarrhal and hypertrophic laryngitis were divided into groups who received selective synchroneous inhalation (SSI) only (n = 29), SSI plus common drug therapy (n = 29), SSI plus low-frequency magnetic field (n = 22). Control patients (n = 24) were given standard chemotherapy and inhalation. A statistically significant difference in duration of treatment was found between the control and study groups.

Plague foci in Viet Nam: zoological and parasitological aspects.

Reported are the results of studies over the period 1989-94 on host-flea complexes in small mammals and their flea ectoparasites in and around a number of human settlements in Viet Nam in which human cases of plague had been found. Collections were also made in savanna and tropical forest areas within a 10-km radius of the settlements. The greatest numbers of small mammals, for the most part Rattus spp., and of the flea ectoparasite Xenopsylla cheopis were found in inhabited areas. X. cheopis was not found on any feral or sylvan mammal further than 0.6 km from settlements. A possible link between wild and commensal mammals may be provided by the flea Lentistivalius klossi, a specific parasite of squirrels and tree-shrews but also found in very small numbers on commensal rats. No zoonotic foci of plague were found in the immediate vicinity of the villages studied and it is most likely that plague persists in a commensal rat-X. cheopis cycle in and around human settlements in Viet Nam.

[Ecological aspects of evolution of the plague microbe Yersinia pestis and genesis of natural reservoirs].

A new hypothesis of the origin of the plague microbe in the Mongolian bobak (Marmota sibirica Radde, 1862) populations in Central Asia during the Pleistocene is based on the ideas of its relative phylogenetic recency. The Late Pleistocene cooling, which induced a deep freezing of the grounds in southern Siberia, Mongolia, and Manchuria, is considered as an inducer of speciation. The main ecological factors of the plague microbe evolution include the species specific behavior of the Mongolian bobak during preparation to hibernation related to its occurrence in arid petrophytic landscapes and the larval parasitism of the flea Oropsylla silantiewi Wagn., 1898 in winter. Genesis of the plague foci is divided into two periods: natural-historical and biosocial. During the first period, the primari natural foci in Eurasia were formed and, during the second period, synanthropic (rat) and secondary natural foci appeared, with the participation of humans, in Africa, The New World, and on some tropical islands.

[Notes on fleas (Siphonaptera) in plague foci on the Tay Nguyen plateau (Vietnam)].

The fleas of wild and commensal small mammals, domestic animals (dogs, cats) and free-living flea forms in houses have been collected in plague nidi of Tay Nguyen plate, Dak-Lak province, Vietnam. Pulex irritans, Ctenocephalides felis felis, Ct. felis orientis were found in the houses on dogs, cats and on the ground floor. Commensal rats in populated areas were infested by Xenopsylla cheopis and rarely by Lentistivalius klossi. The agricultural zone was inhabited by both home and wild animals such as commensal, savannah and forest-dwelling small mammals. The flea fauna of this zone is presented by X. cheopis and L. klossi. In the tropical forest surrounding villages four of the flea species were found: X. vexabilis, a specific parasite of the forest-dwelling rat Berylmys berdmorei, L. klossi found on six species of forest small mammals, Acropsylla girshami from Berylmys bowersii and Pariodontis subjugis from Hystrix brachyura. The agricultural zone is the most possible place of commensal and forest-dwelling small mammals contact, where the latter can get plague microbe.

[Treatment of acute diffuse otitis externa by low-frequency magnetic field].

Patients with acute diffuse external otitis were treated using an alternating and pulsatile low-frequency magnetic field synchronized with the pulse wave propagation across the pathological focus. It was shown that the magnetic exposure should be 30-40 min longer because the beneficial effect of the magnetic field develops as a function of time and because there should be a feedback between the acting magnetic field and hydrostatic pressure in focal capillaries which varies during inflammation. This therapeutic method was applied to 27 patients. The mean time on this method was 4 days shorter when compared to that on UHF and SHF therapy or 3 days shorter when compared to that on continuous magnetic field therapy, the difference being statistically significant.
