Anti-Aspergillus Activities of the Respiratory Epithelium in Health and Disease
Respiratory epithelia fulfil multiple roles beyond that of gaseous exchange, also acting as primary custodians of lung sterility and inflammatory homeostasis. Inhaled fungal spores pose a continual antigenic, and potentially pathogenic, challenge to lung

Morphotype 1(Fig. 3 A-E) Dorsal view The trochlea is somewhat shallow. Its medial and lateral edges are more or less parallel to each other and are of different proximodistal lengths, the lateral edge being much shorter than the medial one. The proximal plantar tuberosity is present and slightly broad.

Morphotype B(Fig. 4 F-J) Dorsal view The sagittal groove is rather visible. The tuber calcanei is proximodistally quite elongated. The ectal facet is more inclined relative to the proximodistal axis than in other morphotypes, as well as in Cynodictis lacustris. It is strongly convex in the middle and very slightly concave in its proximal part.

Evolution of cyanobacterial morphotypes
Within prokaryotes cyanobacteria represent one of the oldest and morphologically most diverse phyla on Earth. The rise of oxygen levels in the atmosphere 2.32-2.45 billion years ago is assigned to the photosynthetic activity of ancestors from this phylum.

The morphotype heterogeneity in Cryptococcus neoformans
Many environmental fungi have evolved exceptional abilities to overcome host defenses and to cause systemic infections. However, the evolutionary trajectory that gives rise to the remarkable pathogenic traits of otherwise saprophytic species is poorly understood.

Changed species composition of naked amoebae in soils of forest-and-steppe zone of Ukraine
Twenty-three species of naked amoebae of 3 classes, 11 families and 16 genera were found in soils of the forest-and-steppe zone of Ukraine. The most common species were Vahlkampfia sp. (2), Vahlkampfia sp. (1), D. mycophaga, H. vermiformis, T.
