Dipetalogastin, a potent thrombin inhibitor from the blood‐sucking insectDipetalogaster maximus [PDF]
A cDNA coding for the thrombin inhibitor dipetalogastin has been isolated from a stomach library of Dipetalogaster maximus, a blood‐sucking insect. The open reading frame of the cloned inhibitor cDNA codes for a protein of 344 amino‐acid residues. Sequence analysis reveals the existence of three repeated homologous main regions, indicating that the ...

Telomere length is heritable and genetically correlated with lifespan in a wild bird
Abstract Telomeres are protective caps at the end of eukaryotic chromosomes that shorten with age and in response to stressful or resource‐demanding conditions. Their length predicts individual health and lifespan across a wide range of animals, but whether the observed positive association between telomere length and lifespan is environmentally ...

Immunosenescence in the wild? A longitudinal study in a long‐lived seabird
Longitudinal studies investigating proximate mechanisms of senescence are scarce, and the immune system could be one of these. Using an individual‐based long‐term study, the authors study three immune parameters of 396 known‐aged and repeatedly sampled common terns.

Interação do Trypanosoma cruzi com diferentes vetores: uso para o xenodiagnóstico
Foram estudadas as diferenças de interação (diferenciação e multiplicação) das cepas Ye CL de Trypanosoma cruzi, consideradas “polares", junto a Triatoma infestans, Panstrongylys megistus e Dipetalogaster maximus. Concluiu-se que o T. infestans apresenta

Human immune response to triatomine embryo extract
Dipetalogaster maximus embryo extracts were used to stimulate peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and in ELISA with sera either from Trypanosoma cruzi infected or non-infected individuals. The results showed that there was significant proliferative
