Paternally transmitted parasites
of survival curves and that I am a bit skeptical of science being intrinsically a young woman's or man's game. When we ultimately understand the neurobiological basis of creativity in science, I doubt that we will have a cellular mechanism-based affirmation of that frequently made assertion about the primacy of youth (which is most frequently heard from no-longer young researchers-turned-admini...
متن کاملSoil-Transmitted Helminths: The Neglected Parasites
Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections are still considered to be the most prevalent infections of humankind. STH, traditionally endemic in rural areas, are increasingly becoming a public health concern in urban slums of cities in tropical and subtropical developing countries in Southeast Asia, sub-Saharan Africa and Central and South America. These helminths, Ascaris lumbricoides, hookworm...
متن کاملPaternally Transmitted Mitochondria Express a New Gene of Potential Viral Origin
Mitochondrial ORFans (open reading frames having no detectable homology and with unknown function) were discovered in bivalve molluscs with doubly uniparental inheritance (DUI) of mitochondria. In these animals, two mitochondrial lineages are present, one transmitted through eggs (F-type), the other through sperm (M-type), each showing a specific ORFan. In this study, we used in situ hybridizat...
متن کاملAssociations Between Paternally Transmitted Fetal IGF2 Variants and Maternal Circulating Glucose Concentrations in Pregnancy
OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that polymorphic variation in the paternally transmitted fetal IGF2 gene is associated with maternal glucose concentrations in the third trimester of pregnancy. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A total of 17 haplotype tag single nucleotide polymorphisms in the IGF2 gene region were genotyped in 1,160 mother/partner/offspring trios from the prospective Cambridge Bab...
متن کاملCompetitive co-existence of vertically and horizontally transmitted parasites
Questions: Can vertically transmitted parasites (VTPs) serve as indirect mutualists by excluding more virulent, horizontally transmitted parasites (HTPs)? How does the efficiency of vertical transmission affect: (1) the equilibrium number of hosts infected by each type of parasite; (2) the total number of hosts in the population; and (3) virulence of the horizontally transmitted parasite? How d...
