purpose aerobic exercise has been identified as the main treatment for type 2 diabetic patients. such an exercise, however, is usually repined by some of patients who suffer from lack of stamina. therefore, whole body vibration has recently been introduced as a passive intervention. the present study aimed at comparing how aerobic exercise and whole body vibration affect glycaemia control in ty...

BACKGROUND Aedes mosquitoes in Taiwan mainly comprise Aedes albopictus and Ae. aegypti. However, the species contributing to autochthonous dengue spread and the extent at which it occurs remain unclear. Thus, in this study, we spatially analyzed real data to determine spatial features related to local dengue incidence and mosquito density, particularly that of Ae. albopictus and Ae. aegypti. ...

Spores of several fungi were examined in an effort to understand the role of RNA in the biochemical events occurring early in germination. RNA synthesis appeared to be an essential requirement for germination in Neurospora crassa and Aspergillus nidulans but not in Alternaria solani and Peronospora tabacina. Gross changes in the relative amounts of the various molecular species of RNA were not ...

The versatility of RNA-dependent RNA polymerases (RDRPs) in eukaryotic gene silencing is perhaps best illustrated in the kingdom Fungi. Biochemical and genetic studies of Schizosaccharomyces pombe and Neurospora crassa show that these types of enzymes are involved in a number of fundamental gene-silencing processes, including heterochromatin regulation and RNA silencing in S. pombe and meiotic ...

Polyclonal anti-chitin synthase antibodies raised against the Saccharomyces cerevisiae CHS2 gene product were used to identify and localize chitin synthase in the filamentous ascomycete Neurospora crassa. A single band of approximately 110 kDa was observed in Western blots of total protein extracts of N. crassa, probed with these antibodies. However, several additional bands were labelled when ...

background: there are several plant extractions which are being used for mosquito control. the aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of olea vera, linum usitatissimum and piper nigera against anopheles stephensi and aedes aegypti under laboratory conditions. methods: these tests were carried out using who recommended bioassay method for adult mosquitoes. results: the extracts from blac...

I N the genetic control of alkaline phosphatase synthesis in Escherichia coli, GAREN and ECHOLS (1962a,b) have presented evidence for the presence of two regulator genes, RI and R2. It was proposed that R1 produces an inducer which has a positive function in controlling the synthesis of alkaline phosphatase and is converted into a repressor in the presence of the R2 product and high concentrati...

Comparative phylogeography has become a powerful approach in exploring hidden or cryptic diversity within widespread species and understanding how historical biogeographical factors shape the modern patterns of their distribution. Most comparative phylogeographic studies so far focus on terrestrial vertebrate taxa, while aquatic invertebrates (and especially freshwater invertebrates) remain uns...

Two species of Aedes (Stegomyia) were collected in response to the first chikungunya virus (CHIKV) outbreak on Yap Island: the native species Ae. hensilli Farner and the introduced species Ae. aegypti (L.). Fourteen CHIKV-positive mosquito pools were detected. Six pools were composed of female Ae. hensilli, six pools were composed of female Ae. aegypti, one pool was composed of male Ae. hensill...
