The variation in fat and glycogen content of the bot fly (Gastrophilus intestinalis) larva tracheal organ during development.
Numerous analyses on the chemical composition of various insects have shown that, as in mammals, fat and glycogen constitute the principal food reserves. Among holometabolic insects the accumulation of these two substances during the larval instars is, to a varying extent, utilized during the process of pupation. Most of the data on the chemical changes during metamorphosis are summarized by Ne...
متن کاملFree-ranging eastern chipmunks (Tamias striatus) infected with bot fly (Cuterebra emasculator) larvae have higher resting but lower maximum metabolism
Given the ubiquity and evolutionary importance of parasites, their effect on the energy budget of mammals remains surprisingly unclear. The eastern chipmunk (Tamias striatus (L., 1758)) is a burrowing rodent that is commonly infected by cuterebrid bot fly (Cuterebra emasculator Fitch, 1856) larvae. We measured resting metabolic rate (RMR) and cold-induced VO2-max (under heliox atmosphere) in 20...

متن کاملThe Hemoglobin of the Sea Lamprey, Petromyzon Marinus
The blood hemoglobin of the sea lamprey presents a curious mixture of primitive and highly specialized properties. Like muscle hemoglobin, it has a molecular weight of about 17,000, and apparently contains a single heme. Its isoelectric point is like that of a typical invertebrate hemoglobin. Its amino acid composition is partly characteristic of invertebrate) partly of vertebrate hemoglobins (...
متن کاملExposure to Gasterophilus spp. in horses in NW Spain by ELISA
Gasterophilosis is a myiasis related with gastric ulcers in equids and even colics. A serological survey to assess the presence of IgG antibodies against Gasterophilus spp. in horses from an oceanic climate area was conducted. A total of 672 blood samples were analyzed by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and excretory/secretory antigens from G. intestinalis second-instar larvae. Res...
