Thrombin Inhibitors from Different Animals [PDF]
Venous and arterial thromboembolic diseases are still the most frequent causes of death and disability in high-income countries. Clinical anticoagulants are inhibitors of enzymes involved in the coagulation pathway, such as thrombin and factor Xa ...

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 ...

Life history of two abundant populations ofDipetalogaster maximus(Uhler, 1894) (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Triatominae) in northwestern Mexico [PDF]
We focused on the analysis of biological parameters of two different abundant populations of Dipetalogaster maximus (Uhler) (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Triatominae) from northwestern Mexico. The biological parameters were related to hatching of eggs, life cycle, and meal needed for molting by each instar of two populations from environmentally similar ...

Relação interespecífica entre Dipetalogaster maximus Uhler (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) e a cepa y do Trypanosoma cruzi Chagas (Kinetoplastida: Trypanosomatidae) [PDF]
Realizou-se um estudo comparativo entre a biologia de Dipetalogaster maximus Uhler infectada com a cepa Y de Trypanosoma cruzi Chagas e não infectada, para se conhecer a relação interespecífica existente entre o inseto e o protozoário, pelo estabelecimento e permanência da infecção durante o ciclo de vida do triatomíneo.

DmCatD, a cathepsin D-like peptidase of the hematophagous insect Dipetalogaster maxima (Hemiptera: Reduviidae): Purification, bioinformatic analyses and the significance of its interaction with lipophorin in the internalization by developing oocytes [PDF]
DmCatD, a cathepsin D-like peptidase of the hematophagous insect Dipetalogaster maxima, is synthesized by the fat body and the ovary and functions as yolk protein precursor. Functionally, DmCatD is involved in vitellin proteolysis.

Less invasive blood sampling in the animal laboratory: clinical chemistry and haematology of blood obtained by the Triatominae bug Dipetalogaster maximus [PDF]
Dipetalogaster maximus (Dipmax), a blood-sucking bug belonging to the family Reduviidae, has been used to obtain blood samples, for example for clinical chemistry and haematology, in a variety of zoo animals and wildlife. Using this bug allows stress-free blood sampling as the bug is able to draw blood without the mammal noticing the bug.

Toxoplasma gondii in small exotic felids from zoos in Europe and the Middle East: serological prevalence and risk factors [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Toxoplasma gondii infections and cases of clinical toxoplasmosis have been recorded in zoo animals. Wild felids in human care can serve as definitive hosts that shed oocysts, but also as intermediate hosts for the parasite. Some felid species,
