Marine leeches, specific to sea turtles, have been implicated as potential vector organisms in the spread of fibropapillomatosis (FP), a pandemic neoplastic disease with green turtles (Chelonia mydas) having the highest affliction rate. Polymerase chain reaction identified two independent, seemingly functional histone H3 loci for marine turtle leeches Ozobranchus branchiatus collected from C. mydas in Florida and Hawaii. Primers were developed to amplify each product separately. These novel markers will be useful in identifying ectoparasites in FP research, evaluating other histone variants, and chromatin dynamics regulation studies.

Atmospheric Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Profiles And Sources In Pine Needles And Particulate Matter In Dayton, Ohio, Usa, Timothy A. Tomashuk, Triet Minh Truong, Madhavi Mantha, Audrey E. Mcgowin Ph.D. Jan 2012

Atmospheric Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Profiles And Sources In Pine Needles And Particulate Matter In Dayton, Ohio, Usa, Timothy A. Tomashuk, Triet Minh Truong, Madhavi Mantha, Audrey E. Mcgowin Ph.D.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were measured in pine needles (passive sampling) and on high volume particulate matter (PM) filters (active sampling) over a period of eight to ten months at two separate sites in the Dayton, Ohio, USA metropolitan area: Moraine and Yellow Springs.

Total PAH concentrations for PM ranged from 77.4 μg/g to 837 μg/g (dry wt.) at both sites with high molecular weight PAHs being the predominant form that tended to be higher in concentration during the colder months. Total PAH concentrations for pine needles varied by tree species and location. With an average concentration of 4187 ng/g, …

This poster presents the results for environmental testing in Glen Helen by the Special Topics in Analytical Chemistry course at Wright State University under the direction of Professor Audrey McGowin in Spring 2012. Water quality data are presented for the Yellow Spring in Yellow Springs, Ohio for April and May of 2012. Other test sites range from locations along Yellow Springs Creek to the covered bridge near Little Miami River.
