The range of geographical distribution of Anthalona acuta Van Damme, Sinev & Dumont 2011 and Anthalona brandorffi (Sinev & Hollwedel, 2002) in Brazil has increased by almost 2000 km to the south. New records of Anthalona verrucosa verrucosa (Sars, 1901) were also added. Populations of Anthalona brandorffi from Central Brazil showed a peculiar morphological variation, with some individuals havin...

This study investigates for the first time the transcriptional regulation of a stress-inducible 70-kDa heat shock protein (hsp70) in the scleractinian coral Pocillopora verrucosa sampled at three locations and two depths (3 m and 12 m) in Bangka Island waters (North Sulawesi, Indonesia). Percentage of coral cover indicated reduced habitat suitability with depth and at the Tanjung Husi (TA) site...

Some of the representatives from edible seaweeds (Gracilaria verrucosa, Gracilaria corticata, Turbinaria ornate, Sargassum polycystum) Kilinochchi and Kalpitiya in Sri Lanka were investigated for proximate composition (moisture, protein, lipid ash content). The was significantly (p < 0.001) different across seaweed species. In this regard, moisture content (mean ± SD) varied 76.33 0.0% T. or...

The aim of this study was to determine interspecies and gender differences in the lipid metabolism and hemolymph oxidation stability in intermoult period of the European spider crab (M. squinado), the warty crab (E. verrucosa) and the European spiny lobster (P. elephas). In hemolymph samples activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and paraoxonase 1 (PON 1), as ...

Eight cases of imported mycetomata in The Netherlands are reviewed. Seven of these were cultured; only one isolate, Actinomadura madurae, belonged to a species commonly known as an agent of mycetoma. The remaining strains either belonged to very rare species, such as Phialophora cyanescens, or could not be identified at all. The list of possible agents of mycetoma apparently needs to be expande...

Cutaneous tuberculosis (CTB) is an uncommon small subset of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, comprising 1-1.5% of all extrapulmonary tuberculosis manifestations, which manifests only in 8.4-13.7% of all tuberculosis cases. Lupus vulgaris (LV) and tuberculosis verrucosa cutis (TBVC) are forms of reinfection tuberculosis and often occur in presensitized patients, by exogenous inoculation. We report t...
