Among insects, haemoglobin is known to occur only in certain chironomid larvae, in Gastrophilus larvae, and in the water bugs Macrocorixa geoffroyi and those belonging to the subfamily Anisopinae. Only in the chironomid (Walshe, 1950) and Gastrophilus larvae (Keilin & Wang, 1946) is much known of its function and properties. A useful summary of the characteristics of haemoglobin in these insect...

The invasive tunicate species Ciona intestinalis (Linnaeus, 1767) has had an economic impact on the aquaculture of the blue mussel Mytilus edulis (Linnaeus, 1758) in Prince Edward Island (PEI). This tunicate fouls mussel socks suspended on long lines in the water and reduces both weight and numbers of mussels, decreasing overall productivity. This study determined the relative effects of high p...

Pneumatosis intestinalis (PI) is an uncommon but important condition characterized by the accumulation of gases in the submucosa or subserosa of the gastrointestinal wall. The clinical course of PI represents a wide spectrum of conditions and outcomes that range from benign to life-threatening. Although controversy exists about the exact cause of PI, mucosal integrity, intraluminal pressure, ga...

In recent years, development have been witnessed in the market expansion of agricultural inputs and products including substances materials that improve functioning soil, plants interactions between soil plant. This is a very broad category often bring innovative solutions field fertilization crop protection.The objective this study to production garden where tomato nurseries from powders two g...

The tunicate Ciona intestinalis is an opportunistic invader with high potential for causing economic losses in aquaculture centers. Recent phylogenetic and population genetic analysis support the existence of a genetic complex described as C. intestinalis with two main dominant species (sp A and B) occurring worldwide. In Chile, the species has been observed around 30 S of latitude, but no offi...

OF THE THESIS Alzheimer’s Disease Investigation in the Ascidian Model Organism: Characterization of a Homologous Amyloid Precursor Protein in Ciona Savignyi and Intestinalis by Miles Taylor Whedbee Master of Science in Biology with a Concentration in Molecular Biology San Diego State University, 2014 The broad objective of this project is to provide supporting evidence for the use of the ascidi...

A community study was carried out to evaluate the efficacy of a 3-day course of 400 mg albendazole daily in the treatment of Trichuris trichiura and Giardia intestinalis infection. This treatment regimen was effective in the treatment of Trichuris trichiura and Giardia intestinalis infection with cure rates of 91.5% and 96.6% respectively. Uses of a 3-day course of 400 mg albendazole daily shou...

Idiopathic myointimal hyperplasia of mesenteric veins is a very rare disease occurring in young male patients, with no more than eight cases reported in the world literature. It causes venous ischemia in the sigmoid colon and rectum that clinically resembles inflammatory bowel disease. Pneumatosis intestinalis is also a rare condition usually associated to a wide range of diseases including bow...

Hydrogenosomes and mitosomes represent remarkable mitochondrial adaptations in the anaerobic parasitic protists such as Trichomonas vaginalis and Giardia intestinalis, respectively. In order to provide a tool to study these organelles in the live cells, the HaloTag was fused to G. intestinalis IscU and T. vaginalis frataxin and expressed in the mitosomes and hydrogenosomes, respectively. The in...
