This article for the first time presents the morphology of the egg, three larval instars, pupal cocoon, prepupa and pupa of myrmecophilous rove beetle Thiasophila angulata (Erichson, 1837) along with illustrations of structural features and chaetotaxy. Morphological comparisons are made between larval instars, and between the mature larva of T. angulata and other known larvae of Aleocharinae be...

BACKGROUND A number of medicinal plants have been used to treat various immunological diseases. Nitric oxide (NO) has an important regulatory role in the various types of inflammatory processes.

background & aim: ferulago angulata sub. carduchorum (locally name: chavir or chavil) is an important medicinal plant in iran. the powder of aerial parts of this plant contains variety of components with different therapeutical effects such as antioxidant activities (aoa). this study was conducted to investigate the effect of dietary supplementation powder of aerial parts of this plant on t...

ferulago angulata (apiaceae), a medicinal plant of western asia, contains essential oils that areused as a food preservative. this study examined and compared the composition of leaf oil with seed oil andof the oils from two different habitats (one from nevakov and the other from shahoo). the oil yield from seedwas 5-fold that from leaves (3.2%/100g compared to 0.63%/100g). cis-ocimene was the ...

background: resistance to most antimalarial drugs has encouraged the development of novel drugs. an alternative source for discovering such drugs is natural products. some ferulago species are used in folk medicine for their sedative, tonic and anti-parasitic effects. besides, coumarins isolated from this genus found to have in vitro anti-leishmanicidal effect. the present study is aimed to eva...

SUMMARY We studied the prevalence and intensity of the parasitic copepod Myicola ostreae in 2 closely related oysters Crassostrea angulata and C. gigas and their F1 hybrids. The effects on host and host reaction were also analysed to better understand host-parasite relationships between copepods and bivalve molluscs. Full reciprocal crosses were carried out between C. angulata and C. gigas and ...
