Infrared (FTIR) spectral features of honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) hemolymph [PDF]

Journal of Central European Agriculture, 2020
Hemolymph is a liquid of the open circulatory system of the honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) which represents a functional equivalent of vertebrate blood and lymph.

Transcriptomic, Proteomic, and Functional Assays Underline the Dual Role of Extrapallial Hemocytes in Immunity and Biomineralization in the Hard Clam Mercenaria mercenaria

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Circulating hemocytes in the hemolymph represent the backbone of innate immunity in bivalves. Hemocytes are also found in the extrapallial fluid (EPF), the space delimited between the shell and the mantle, which is the site of shell biomineralization ...

A Modified Standardized Method to Extract and Store Insect Hemolymph with Use of a Glass Capillary

Journal of Apicultural Science, 2020
Hemolymph is the “blood” circulating in the entire insect body. Analysis of this fluid gives information about the condition of the insect. The most precise analyses are conducted on insects’ hemolymph suspended in 0.6% physiological saline (NaCl).

Transport of lipids in insects

Journal of Lipid Research, 1974
Many insect species are almost completely dependent on lipids for their metabolic needs, although this is usually a function of developmental stage. The primary storage organ is the fat body, which can constitute 50% of the fresh weight of the insect and

Cannabis Extract Has a Positive–Immunostimulating Effect through Proteolytic System and Metabolic Compounds of Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) Workers

Animals, 2021
In the study, we assessed the effect of hemp extract on activities of resistance parameters and the metabolic compound concentration in adult workers’ hemolymph. Bees were divided into the following groups: (1) control group fed with mixture of sugar and

In Situ Localization of Staphylococcus shinii and Staphylococcus succinus in Infected Rhipicephalus microplus Ticks: Implications for Biocontrol Strategies

Pathogens
Rhipicephalus microplus is a blood-sucking parasite that causes heavy infestations on cattle and is a vector for severe tick-borne diseases, such as anaplasmosis and babesiosis, and poses a significant threat to the cattle industry.

Carbohydrates in honey bee hemolymph

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1986
Abstract 1. 1. The hemolymph sugars of honey bees ( Apis mellifera ) were determined by spectrophotometric and gas-liquid chromatographic methods. 2. 2. A new phenol-acetate reagent was developed that enabled quantification of trehalose in the presence of sucrose. 3. 3. The results of these analyses provide insight into the means by which

Advancing Research on Biomaterials and Biological Materials with Scanning Electron Microscopy under Environmental and Low Vacuum Conditions

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Herein, environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) is discussed as a powerful extension of conventional SEM for life sciences. By combining high‐resolution imaging with variable pressure and humidity, ESEM allows the analysis of untreated biological materials, supports in situ monitoring of hydration‐driven changes, and advances the functional ...

Evaluation of the Dual Impact of Nanotechnologies on Health and Environment Through Alternative Bridging Models

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review explores how alternative invertebrate and small‐vertebrate models advance the evaluation of nanomaterials across medicine and environmental science. By bridging cellular and organismal levels, these models enable integrated assessment of toxicity, biodistribution, and therapeutic performance.

Study of the Impact of the Parasitic Microalgae Coccomyxa parasitica on the Health of Bivalve Modiolus kurilensis

Microorganisms
The invasion of bivalves by parasitic microalgae Coccomyxa is widespread and causes pathologies and dysfunctions of the organs, especially in the most valuable products: the mantle and the muscle.
