Expanding Host Range: First Record of Eustrongylides excisus in Padogobius bonelli (Gobiidae) from the Po River (Northwest Italy)

Fishes
Fish-borne parasites encompass diverse taxonomic groups, including nematodes of the genus Eustrongylides (family Dioctophymatidae), which infect fish, fish-eating birds, and, occasionally, humans. Eustrongylides spp.

Transcriptional signatures of BALB/c mouse macrophages housing multiplying Leishmania amazonensis amastigotes

BMC Genomics, 2009
Background Mammal macrophages (MΦ) display a wide range of functions which contribute to surveying and maintaining tissue integrity. One such function is phagocytosis, a process known to be subverted by parasites like Leishmania (L).

Critical role of the neutrophil-associated high affinity receptor for IgE in the pathogenesis of experimental cerebral malaria [PDF]

, 2011
International audienceThe role of the IgE-Fc epsilon RI complex in malaria severity in Plasmodium falciparum-hosting patients is unknown. We demonstrate that mice genetically deficient for the high-affinity receptor for IgE (Fc epsilon RI alpha-KO) or ...

Composites of Shellac and Silver Nanowires as Flexible, Biobased, and Corrosion‐Resistant Transparent Conductive Electrodes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Shellac, a centuries‐old natural resin, is reimagined as a green material for flexible electronics. When combined with silver nanowires, shellac films deliver transparency, conductivity, and stability against humidity. These results position shellac as a sustainable alternative to synthetic polymers for transparent conductors in next‐generation ...

Parasitism is always costly to the host

Zoological Research, 2021
Recent studies have examined the cost of raising parasitic cuckoos and highlighted the importance of "no extra cost" in explaining the low levels of defense in hosts. To clarify the reasons for parasitization in typical hosts, we present a simple model to explore the immediate and future costs of parasitism in shaping the evolution of defense behavior ...

The impacts of ecological factors on prevalence, mean intensity and seasonal changes of the monogenean gill parasite, Microcotyloides sp., infesting the Terapon puta fish inhabiting coastal region of Mediterranean Sea at Damietta region

, 2012
The present study has revealed, for the first time, the presence of the monogenean parasite, Microcotyloides sp., on the gills of the small scaled terapon fish, Terapon puta, inhabiting the costal region of the Mediterranean Sea near Damietta province ...

Oxygen‐Tunnel Indium Tin Oxide Vertical Channel Transistors with Enhanced Current Density and Reliability for Monolithic 3D Compute‐In‐Memory Systems

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Oxygen‐tunnel (OT) indium tin oxide (ITO) vertical channel transistors (VCTs) enable reliable, high‐density gain‐cell memory for monolithic 3D integration. A sandwiched SiN/SiO2/SiN OT stack selectively regulates oxygen transport, suppressing parasitic electrode oxidation while stabilizing channel oxygen vacancies, thereby suppressing carrier injection

The transcriptional signatures of Sodalis glossinidius in the Glossina palpalis gambiensis flies negative for Trypanosoma brucei gambiense contrast with those of this symbiont in tsetse flies positive for the parasite : possible involvement of a Sodalis-hosted prophage in fly Trypanosoma refractoriness ?

, 2014
Tsetse flies, such as Glossina palpalis gambiensis, are blood-feeding insects that could be subverted as hosts of the parasite Trypanosoma brucei gambiense: initiated in the tsetse fly mid gut, the developmental program of this parasite further proceeds ...

Polymer Interface Enables Reversible Quasi‐Solid Sulfur Conversion in Sodium‐Sulfur Batteries

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The polymer interface enables a stable quasi‐solid sulfur conversion pathway in room‐temperature Na─S batteries. The coating regulates Na+ transport, stabilizes the cathode–electrolyte interphase, and accommodates mechanical stress, suppressing electrolyte decomposition and sulfur migration, thereby improving reaction uniformity, reducing polarization,

Dynamic Interfacial Chemistry of Choline Chloride as Electrolyte Additive for Stable Zn‐Iodine Batteries

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Choline chloride (ChCl) additive enables dynamic interface engineering in Zn‐I2 batteries by forming hydrophobic polyiodide complexes and a Zn‐stabilizing Ch+‐rich layer under electric field modulation. This dual‐function strategy suppresses iodine hydrolysis and dendrite formation, while optimizing Zn2+ solvation and transport for high‐efficiency ...
