Lice, Humans, and Microbes
Lice are small, wingless, minor ectoparasites of mammals and birds. More than 540 blood-sucking lice (Phthiraptera: Anoplura) have been described with each host having its own type of louse, suggesting the cospeciation of the lice species with their host. Among these, two lice species from two different genera infest humans: Pediculus humanus and Phthirus pubis (pubic “crab” l...
متن کاملpostnatal studies of bats (pipistrellus kuhlii and miniopterus schreibersii) & histomorphology and histochemistry studies of organs and diseases of (neurergus microspilotus and n. kaiseri)
1. to determine whether difference in birth body mass influenced growth performance in pipistrellus kuhlii we studied a total of 12 captive-born neonates. bats were assigned to two body mass groups: light birth body mass (lbw: 0.89 ± 0.05, n=8) and heavy birth body mass (hbw: 1.35 ± 0.08, n=4). heavier body mass at birth was associated with rapid postnatal growth (body mass and forearm length) ...
Of Microbes and Men
In this issue of Diabetes Care, Simon et al. (1) report the results of a study testing the hypothesis that the administration of Lactobacillus reuteri in subjects without diabetes improves insulin sensitivity. A quick review of the background may help us put this work in context. Our digestive tract hosts some 2 kg of microbes, made up of ;100 trillion microorganisms. Present in sparse colonies...
متن کاملEffects of Growth Stimulator Microbes on Growth and Ions Concentration of Stevia under Salinity Stress Conditions
Soil salinity and water deficit are major problems for development of agricultural production. In this study, effects of growth promoting microorganisms (inoculation with Piriformospora indica and two isolates of Streptomyces sp.) on the leaf yield and absorption rate of some elements in leaves and roots of stevia plant was investigated under salinity conditions for two consecutive years (2016-...
متن کاملOf microspheres and microbes
Efficient immunotherapy relies on the rapid generation of elevated amounts of cancer-specific T lymphocytes. We have recently demonstrated that both rapid and potent tumor-targeting immune responses can be induced with a heterologous prime-boost regimen consisting of poly-lactic co-glycolic acid (PLGA) microsphere-based immunization followed by Listeria monocytogenes infection.
