Index Catalogue To Russian, Central And Eastern European, And Chinese Literature In Medical Entomology, Volume 1: Diptera, George Anastes

U.S. Naval Medical Research Unit Publications

Over the past several years a large number of references from the USSR, Eastern Europe, and China have been collected dealing with arthropods of medical importance. These references were coded on keysort cards which made it possible to index as many as fifteen subject areas on one card. The usefulness of this indexing system was evident by the number of medical entomologists who used it in searching for references in their specialty. In response to requests from workers in the United States and other countries who did not have ready access to the index. it was decided to publish these ...

Insecticidal Ear Tags: Fly Control That Works, Iowa State University

Insecticidal Ear Tags: Fly Control That Works

Iowa State University Veterinarian

Cattle producers seem to be in love with the latest type of fly control technique - insecticidal ear tags. Anyone driving along the back roads is treated to the site of cattle herds sporting the brightly colored plastic ear devices. A closer look reveals that few flies annoy animals protected in this manner.

Los Parásitos Y El Estudio De Su Biodiversidad: Un Enfoque Sobre Los Estimadores De La Riqueza De Especies, Christian E. Bautista-Hernández, Scott Monks, Griselda Pulido-Flores Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Hidalgo

Los Parásitos Y El Estudio De Su Biodiversidad: Un Enfoque Sobre Los Estimadores De La Riqueza De Especies, Christian E. Bautista-Hernández, Scott Monks, Griselda Pulido-Flores

Estudios científicos en el estado de Hidalgo y zonas aledañas

Durante años los parásitos fueron considerados únicamente como agentes patógenos que debían ser eliminados, sin considerar que son un componente importante de la biodiversidad, que son capaces de aportar información de sí mismos y de otros organismos. Existen estimadores de riqueza que predicen el número de especies para una comunidad a partir de la riqueza observada y de la abundancia de las especies o datos de incidencia; pueden ser estimadores paramétricos y no paramétricos. La comparación de la riqueza de especies entre componente de comunidades de parásitos frecuentemente pueden ser difícil de evaluar debido a que los datos no se ...

Parasitic Nematode Ion Channels: Improving Understanding Of Pharmacology And Genetic Composition, Samuel Buxton Iowa State University

Parasitic Nematode Ion Channels: Improving Understanding Of Pharmacology And Genetic Composition, Samuel Buxton

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Parasitic nematode infections of humans, plants and animals are of major economic impact. These parasites cause losses of billions of dollars per year in crop damage and through livestock infection; the infections to humans are equally debilitating. Anthelmintics are the main chemotherapeutic agents used for treatment and prophylaxis of nematode infections because there is presently no effective vaccine on the market. Most of the anthelmintics presently used in treating nematode infections in humans were first developed for use in animals. In most cases, these anthelmintics have been used in humans without changing the properties of the drugs at all. However ...

Worms, Nematoda, Scott Lyell Gardner University of Nebraska - Lincoln

Worms, Nematoda, Scott Lyell Gardner

Faculty Publications from the Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology

Nematodes are the most speciose phylum of metazoa on earth. Not only do they occur in huge numbers as parasites of all known animal groups, but also they are found in the soils, as parasites of plants, and in large numbers in the most extreme environments, from the Antarctic dry valleys to the benthos of the ocean. They are extremely variable in their morphological characteristics, with each group showing morphological adapta­tions to the environment that they inhabit. Soil-dwelling forms are extremely small; many marine species have long and complex setae; and parasitic species man­ifest amazingly great reproductive potential ...

Parasites And Diseases Of Mullets (Mugilidae), I. Paperna, Robin M. Overstreet Gulf Coast Research Laboratory

Parasites And Diseases Of Mullets (Mugilidae), I. Paperna, Robin M. Overstreet

Faculty Publications from the Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology

The following treatment of parasites, diseases and conditions affecting mullet hopefully serves several functions. It acquaints someone involved in rearing mullets with problems he can face and topics he should investigate. We cannot go into extensive illustrative detail on every species or group, but do provide a listing of most parasites reported or known from mullet and some pertinent general information on them. Because of these enumerations, the paper should also act as a review for anyone interested in mullet parasites or the use of such parasites as indicators about a mullet's diet and migratory behavior. Unfortunately, limited space ...

From The Gulf To The Rio Grande: Human Adaptation In Central, South, And Lower Pecos Texas, Thomas Hester, Stephen L. Black, D. Gentry Steele, Ben W. Olive, Anne A. Fox, Karl Reinhard, Leland C. Bement

Karl Reinhard Papers/Publications

The South Texas area, Region 3 of the Southwestern Division, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, is synthesized from archeological and bioarcheological perspectives. Three distinct geographic units within Region 3 are treated in detail: Central Texas Plateau Prairie, South Texas Plains, and Lower Pecos Canyonlands. More than 11,000 years of human adaptation are chronicled for this area, stretching from the Gulf of Mexico to the Rio Grande along the border with northeastern Mexico. Particular attention is devoted to a consideration of the region's prehistoric record; significant problems and data gaps are outlined. For the first time, a compilation ...

Steganoderma Stafford, 1904 (Digenea: Zoogonidae: Lepidophyllinae) From Two Species Of Rockfishes From Deep Waters Off Oregon Including A New Species And An Updated Key To Species Of This Genus, Charles K. Blend, Gábor R. Rácz

MANTER: Journal of Parasite Biodiversity

Steganoderma eamiqtrema n. sp. and a single unidentified specimen of Steganoderma Stafford, 1904 (Zoogonidae: Lepidophyllinae) obtained from the intestine of the greenstriped rockfish, Sebastes elongatus Ayres, 1859, and the flag rockfish, Sebastes rubrivinctus (Jordan and Gilbert, 1880) (Scorpaeniformes: Sebastidae), collected from 190–200 m depths off Oregon, USA, are described. The new species is distinguished from its seven other congeners by a diagnostic combination of morphological features including an elongate oval to spindle-shaped body, a clavate to comma-shaped cirrus pouch located in the forebody and hindbody, a bipartite seminal vesicle, a bifurcal or just post-bifurcal genital pore, a larger ventral ...

Antimalarial Exoerythrocytic Stage Drug Discovery And Resistance Studies, Lynn Dong Blake University of South Florida

Antimalarial Exoerythrocytic Stage Drug Discovery And Resistance Studies, Lynn Dong Blake

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Malaria is a devastating global health issue that affects approximately 200 million people yearly and over half a million deaths are caused by this parasitic protozoan disease. Most commercially available drugs only target the blood stage form of the parasite, but the only way to ensure proper elimination is to treat the exoerythrocytic stages of the parasite development cycle. There is a demand for the discovery of new liver stage antimalarial compounds as there are only two current FDA approved drugs for the treatment of liver stage parasites, one of which fails to eliminate dormant forms and the other inducing ...
