Microglia
Research has discovered dystrophic (defective development) human microglia. "These cells are characterized by abnormalities in their cytoplasmic structure, such as deramified, atrophic, fragmented or unusually tortuous processes, frequently bearing spheroidal or bulbous swellings." The incidence of dystrophic microglia increases with aging. Microglial degeneration and death have been reported in research on Prion disease, Schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease, indicating that microglial deterioration might be involved in neurodegenerative diseases. A complication of this theory is the fact that it is difficult to distinguish between "activated" and "dystrophic" microglia in the human brain.
Microcotyle neozealanica
"Microcotyle neozealanica" was first described by Dillon & Hargis in 1965 as "Microcotyle neozealanicus". Caballero y Caballero and Bravo-Hollis erected the genus "Paramicrocotyle" to describe "Paramicrocotyle tampicensis" and "Paramicrocotyle atriobursata" off Mexico, and placed whithin this genus sixteen species previously assigned to the genus "Microcotyle" including "Microcotyle neozealanica". However, "Microcotyle neozealanica" was returned to the genus "Microcotyle" and "Paramicrocotyle" is considered a junior subjective synonym of "Microcotyle".
"Microcotyle neozealanica" was redescribed by Dillon et "al"., in 1985 from a single specimen from the gills of "Chloropthalmus nigripinnis". The authors stated that additional specimens from this host were needed to verify this record. 
According to the World Register of Marine Species,"neozealanicus" is a malformed suffix. The current accepted name is "Microcotyle neozealanica"
