Glycosphingolipids in human parasites
FEBS Open Bio, Volume 13, Issue 9, Page 1625-1635, September 2023., 2023 The parasites that infect humans and animals include protozoans and helminths (worms). Their secretions and cellular membranes contain complex glycomolecules including glycoproteins and glycolipids. A class of glycolipids shared between humans and parasites are the glycosphingolipids (GSLs) containing a lipid (ceramide) linked to a glycan ...

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 36, Issue 4, Page 456-468, December 2022., 2022 Study on a dairy goat farm compared three static trap designs with (a) UV light; (b) incandescent light or (c) semiochemical lure (no light). Sweep netting was used to define diel periodicity. Trap designs A and C collected significantly greater number of Culicoides specimens than trap B; trap C gained highest species richness despite no significant ...
