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.

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,

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

The Role of DmCatD, a Cathepsin D-Like Peptidase, and Acid Phosphatase in the Process of Follicular Atresia in Dipetalogaster maxima (Hemiptera: Reduviidae), a Vector of Chagas' Disease [PDF]
In this work, we have investigated the involvement of DmCatD, a cathepsin D-like peptidase, and acid phosphatase in the process of follicular atresia of Dipetalogaster maxima, a hematophagous insect vector of Chagas' disease. For the studies, fat bodies,
