Abstract:
... The transmission pathways of dengue virus (DENV) among mosquitoes are a topic that has gained relevance in recent years because they could explain the maintenance of the virus in the wild independently of the human–mosquito horizontal transmission cycle. In this regard, Aedes aegypti larvae exposed to supernatants of C6/36 cells infected with DENV-4 were evaluated for virus excretion in feces and ...

Abstract:
... We selected Bacillus licheniformis NY1505 by screening a strain capable of producing α-glucosidase inhibitors in both aerobic and anaerobic environments in vitro and spore formation. To confirm whether this strain proliferates in the intestine and produces α-glucosidase inhibitor, the spores of this strain were administered to mice orally. As the results, it was confirmed that 10⁷ cells and about ...

Abstract:
... Pentastomida is a subclass of parasitic arthropods, related to crustaceans, which develop in the respiratory tract of vertebrates (i.e., fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals). Within this group of parasites, Raillietiella spp. adults develop in the lungs of lizards, snakes and toads, whereas larval stages in insects (e.g., cockroaches), which are intermediate hosts. Lizards were capture ...

The development on pastures of the free-living stages of these gastrointestinal worms is particularly influenced by outdoor temperature. Understanding the bionomics of free-living stages is an important prerequisite to implement mathematical models designed to assess the parasitic risk for grazing equids ...

Abstract:
... The function of holding territories is primarily to have access to resources like food and mates. However, it is costly in terms of energy and time investment. Solitary-living, territorial species are known to reduce these costs by being more aggressive towards unfamiliar strangers and less aggressive towards neighbors. However, in social, territorial species, neighbors can impose a greater threat ...
