A SIMPLE TECHNIQUE FOR STAINING OF PLATYHELMINTHS WITH THE LACTOPHNOL COTTON BLUE STAIN [PDF]
Journal of the Egyptian Society of Parasitology, 2013 This paper describes a simple technique for staining of flatworms using lactophenol cotton blue (LPCB). The staining was tested on 2 trematode species: Heterophyes heterophyes and Mesostephanus appendiculatus, and one cestode: Diplopylidium acanthotetra,

Septins of Platyhelminths: identification, phylogeny, expression and localization among developmental stages of Schistosoma mansoni. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2013 Septins are a family of eukaryotic GTP binding proteins conserved from yeasts to humans. Originally identified in mutants of budding yeast, septins participate in diverse cellular functions including cytokinesis, organization of actin networks, cell ...

Current Biology, 2017 Platyhelminthes (flatworms) have captivated the imagination of biologists for centuries. Indeed, planarian flatworms were used as experimental models decades before Caenorhabditis elegans became known as 'the worm'. Although planarians experienced a brief fall from grace, with the advent of molecular tools, planarians, such as Schmidtea mediterranea ...

Conservation and Targets of miR-71: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Non-Coding RNA, 2023 MicroRNAs (miRNAs) perform a pivotal role in the regulation of gene expression across the animal kingdom. As negative regulators of gene expression, miRNAs have been shown to function in the genetic pathways that control many biological processes and ...

Neuropeptides in platyhelminths
Parasitology, 1991 The neuropeptide story began in 1928 with the description by Ernst Scharrer of gland-like nerve cells in the hypothalamus of the minnow,Phoxinus laevis.Because these nerve cells were overwhelmingly specialized for secretory activity, overshadowing other neuronal properties, Scharrer termed them ‘neurosecretory neurons’.

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2007 Background Nuclear receptors (NRs) are important transcriptional modulators in metazoans which regulate transcription through binding to the promoter region of their target gene by the DNA binding domain (DBD) and activation or repression of mRNA ...

Threats to UK freshwaters under climate change: Commonly traded aquatic ornamental species and their potential pathogens and parasites [PDF]
NeoBiota, 2022 The aquatic ornamental industry, whilst providing socio-economic benefits, is a known introduction pathway for non-native species, which if invasive, can cause direct impacts to native species and ecosystems and also drive disease emergence by extending ...

Thioredoxin and glutathione systems differ in parasitic and free-living platyhelminths
BMC Genomics, 2010 Background The thioredoxin and/or glutathione pathways occur in all organisms. They provide electrons for deoxyribonucleotide synthesis, function as antioxidant defenses, in detoxification, Fe/S biogenesis and participate in a variety of cellular ...

Cestode strobilation: prediction of developmental genes and pathways
BMC Genomics, 2020 Background Cestoda is a class of endoparasitic worms in the flatworm phylum (Platyhelminthes). During the course of their evolution cestodes have evolved some interesting aspects, such as their increased reproductive capacity.
