Eosinophils in filarial infections: Inducers of protection or pathology?
Filariae are parasitic roundworms, which can cause debilitating diseases such as lymphatic filariasis and onchocerciasis. Lymphatic filariasis, also known as elephantiasis, and onchocerciasis, commonly referred to as river blindness, can lead to ...

Porcine blood cell and brain tissue energy metabolism: Effects of “early life stress”
Background: Early Life Stress (ELS) may exert long-lasting biological effects, e.g., on PBMC energy metabolism and mitochondrial respiration. Data on its effect on brain tissue mitochondrial respiration is scarce, and it is unclear whether blood cell ...

Identification of hemocytes in sugar beet weevil, Lixus incanescens (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) [PDF]
The role of blood cells as the main components of the physiological defense of insects has been reported. Blood cells are the first factors of the circulatory system that participate in dealing with all kinds of stress and foreign factors. In the present
