Member - Stellenbosch University

The Stellenbosch University is located in the town of Stellenbosch, in the Wine Lands area of the Western Cape Province of South Africa. The raison d'être of the University is to create and sustain, in commitment to the academic ideal of excellent scholarly and scientific practice, an environment within which knowledge can be discovered, can be shared, and can be applied to the benefit of the community. Eight Faculties are located on three campuses consisting of arts, agricultural & forestry sciences, economics & management sciences, education, engineering, health sciences, natural sciences, and theology. Student enrolment in 2003 was approximately 22,000 with 34% of the student population as post-graduate students. Most are from the Western Cape but 6% are foreign students. In the 2002 academic year 5,249 diplomas and Bachelor degrees, 877 Master's degrees and 113 Doctorates were awarded.

Research *Life cycle of Renylaima capensis, a brachylaimid trematode of shrews and slugs in South Africa: two-host and three-host transmission modalities suggested by epizootiology and DNA sequencing* Wilhelm F Sirgel, Patricio Artigas, M Bargues, Santiago Mas-Coma Parasites & Vectors 2012, 5:169 (13 August 2012) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary Renylaima capensis is a trematode infecting the urinary system of the shrew Myosorex varius. It uses two transmission strategies, including a two-host life cycle by predation of the slug Ariostralis nebulosa harbouring intrasporocystic cercariae as the normal pattern. However, another slug Ariopelta capensis is just starting to be introduced as a second molluscan host in which small metacercariae are able to develop.

Research Thermal limits of wild and laboratory strains of two African malaria vector species, Anopheles arabiensis and Anopheles funestus Candice L Lyons, Maureen Coetzee, John S Terblanche, Steven L Chown Malaria Journal 2012, 11:226 (6 July 2012) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary The overall patterns point to little plasticity for thermal limits and this finding points to limited adaptive potential in these species, which is consistent with some data from other mosquitoes. The data are welcome given the limited information available on the physiological behaviour of the mosquitoes.
