SUMMARYThe transmission of parasites often involves a high mortality of free-living stages in the environment outside the host. This may be offset by a high biotic potential. In addition, adaptations of nematode eggs and larvae that ensure their survival or increase their chances of infecting a host will reduce the potential wastage rate.

The shaping effect of collimated fast outflows in the Egg nebula
We present high angular resolution observations of the HC$_3$N J=5--4 line from the Egg nebula, which is the archetype of protoplanetary nebulae. We find that the HC$_{\rm 3}$N emission in the approaching and receding portion of the envelope traces a ...

Genetic variation in eggshell crystal size and orientation is large and these traits are correlated with shell thickness and are associated with eggshell matrix protein markers [PDF]
The size and orientation of calcium carbonate crystals influence the structure and strength of the eggshells of chickens. In this study, estimates of heritability were found to be high (0.6) for crystal size and moderate (0.3) for crystal orientation ...

Isolation and identification of duck egg-borne bacteria and their antibiogram profile
Objective: The present study was aimed to isolate and identify the egg-borne bacteria from different parts of duck eggs such as egg shell (outer and inner), yolk and albumen, and to assess the anti-biogram profile of the isolated bacteria. Materials and

Geometrical characteristics of eggs from 3 poultry species
We studied the correlations between egg geometrical parameters (i.e., egg shape index, sphericity, geometric mean diameter, surface area, and volume) and eggshell qualities, or the organic matrix in eggshell.

Subtle Egg‐Shell Membrane Structures in Birds’ Eggs [PDF]
In 1695 the Italian anatomist and physician Lorenzo Bellini published an account of the ‘airways’ in birds’ eggs. Bellini suggested that these structures — that appear as dark channels running between the inner surface of the eggshell and the shell membranes, from the pointed to the blunt end of the egg — were connected to the eggshell pores and ...
