In Vitro Activity of Geldanamycin Derivatives against Schistosoma japonicum and Brugia malayi

open access: yesJournal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2010, Issue 1, 2010., 2010
Geldanamycin (GA) is a benzoquinone‐containing ansamycin that inhibits heat shock protein 90. GA derivatives are being evaluated as anti‐neoplastic agents, but their utility against parasites whose heat shock proteins (Hsps) have homology with human Hsp90 is unknown.

The Influence of Bush Encroachment on the Abundance and Species Richness of Rodents in a Mesic Savanna

open access: yesAfrican Journal of Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 4, December 2024.
ABSTRACT The study assessed the influence of woody plant encroachment on the diversity of rodents in mesic savannas at the Roodeplaat and Goss Farms in South Africa. Some 142 animals from six species were recorded in 1748 trap nights. The non‐encroached habitat showed twice the species richness of encroached habitats, and three species were notably ...

Human Papillomaviruses and Non‐Melanoma Skin Cancer: Basic Virology and Clinical Manifestations

open access: yesDisease Markers, Volume 23, Issue 4, Page 247-259, 2007., 2007
Human papillomaviruses (HPV) infect cutaneous and mucosal epithelia and induce benign and malignant lesions. Non‐melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), encompassing basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), is the most frequent cancer in the Caucasian population, and the incidence has increased dramatically worldwide.

SEX- AND SPECIES-SPECIFIC GROWTH PATTERNS IN CRYPTIC AFRICAN RODENTS, MASTOMYS NATALENSIS AND M. COUCHA [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Mammalogy, 2003
The sibling multimammate mice, Mastomys natalensis and M. coucha, occur throughout southern Africa, exhibiting limited sympatry. We examine body mass and growth characteristics of both species, from birth to 26 weeks of age. Gompertz growth curves were fitted to data for body mass and lengths of head and body, tail, hind foot, and ear.
