Adult triatomine insects, Panstrongylus megistus, naturally infected with the protozoa, Trypanosoma cruzi, contained significantly more metacyclic trypomastigote forms in their digestive tracts than did P. megistus nymphs. Metacyclics were scarce in all stages of triatomines fed once on infected mammalian hosts and subsequently starved. In contrast, triatomines fed repeatedly on infected mammal...

BACKGROUND The binding of Leishmania promastigotes to the midgut epithelium is regarded as an essential part of the life-cycle in the sand fly vector, enabling the parasites to persist beyond the initial blood meal phase and establish the infection. However, the precise nature of the promastigote stage(s) that mediate binding is not fully understood. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS To address ...

a famous theorem of schur states that for a group $g$ finiteness of $g/z(g)$‎ ‎implies the finiteness of $g'.$ the converse of schur's theorem is an interesting problem which has been considered by some‎ ‎authors‎. ‎recently‎, ‎podoski and szegedy proved the truth of the converse of schur's theorem for capable groups‎. ‎they also established an explicit bound for the index of the center of such...

in this paper we find systems of subgroups of a finite‎ ‎group‎, ‎which $bbb p$nobreakdash-hspace{0pt}subnormality guarantees supersolvability‎ ‎of the whole group‎.

let $g$ be a non-abelian group of order $p^n$‎, ‎where $nleq 5$ in which $g$ is not extra special of order $p^5$‎. ‎in this paper we determine the maximal size of subsets $x$ of $g$‎ ‎with the property that $xyneq yx$ for any $x,y$ in $x$ with‎ ‎$xneq y$‎.

a $p$-group $g$ is called a $mathcal{cac}$-$p$-group if $c_g(h)/h$ is ‎cyclic for every non-cyclic abelian subgroup $h$ in $g$ with $hnleq‎ ‎z(g)$‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎we give a complete classification of‎ ‎finite $mathcal{cac}$-$p$-groups‎.

let g be a group. a subset x of g is a set of pairwise noncommuting elements if xy ̸= yx for any two distinct elements x and y in x. if |x| ≥ |y | for any other set of pairwise non-commuting elements y in g, then x is said to be a maximal subset of pairwise non-commuting elements. in this paper we determine the cardinality of a maximal subset of pairwise non-commuting elements in any non-abelian...

Let X be a right homogeneous space of a connected linear algebraic group G′ over a number field k, containing a k-point x. Assume that the stabilizer of x in G′ is connected. Using the notion of a quasitrivial group, recently introduced by Colliot-Thélène, we can represent X in the form X = H\G, where G is a quasi-trivial k-group and H ⊂ G is a connected k-subgroup. Let S be a finite set of pla...
