A roadmap to key traits of invasive Drosophilidae

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions have intensified in recent decades, mostly driven by international trade and travel, raising significant concerns, particularly regarding insect pests. Once non‐native species establish, they can disrupt natural ecosystem stability, undermine agroecosystem sustainability and cause substantial economic losses.

Reduction of Baylisascaris procyonis Eggs in Raccoon Latrines, Suburban Chicago, Illinois, USA

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014
Baylisascaris procyonis, a common roundworm of raccoons, causes severe or fatal human infections, often in suburban areas. To evaluate the effectiveness of a baiting strategy requiring minimal labor, we distributed medicated baits near raccoon latrines ...

Caenorhabditis elegans muscle Cys-loop receptors as novel targets of terpenoids with potential anthelmintic activity [PDF]

, 2019
The anthelmintic treatment of nematode infections remains the pillar of worm control in both human and veterinary medicine. Since control is threatened by the appearance of drug resistant nematodes, there is a need to develop novel compounds, among which

A neuro‐behavioural model of neophobia

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fear can be defined as the internal neurological state that releases a repertoire of behaviours an animal performs to reduce the effect of an aversive factor. Neophobia, the fear of novelty, is a fundamental behavioural trait observed across a wide range of species from arthropods to humans.

The ageing holobiont: crosstalk between telomere dynamics, oxidative stress and the gut microbiome

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The gut tissue is at the frontline of early onset of ageing. It exhibits high cell turnover rates and rapid telomere shortening, which can have systemic effects on the developing or senescing organism. We conducted a literature review of studies on the crosstalk between telomere length dynamics, telomerase activity, oxidative stress, and gut ...

Characterization of eukaryotic DNA N6-methyladenine by a highly sensitive restriction enzyme-assisted sequencing

Nature Communications, 2016
DNA N6-methyladenine is prevalent in prokaryotes, and is recently also detected in eukaryotes such as roundworm and fly. Here, Luo et al. report a DpnI-assisted base resolution method that detects 6mA genome-wide with nanograms of input DNA and lower ...

Microorganisms and Common Ophthalmic Diseases [PDF]

, 2017
The human eye is in constant contact to environmental conditions that increase its likelihood in being exposed to a multitude of pathogens. Studies have revealed that the normal microbial flora found around the ocular area contribute to the well-being of

Radiologic, Histologic and Scanning Electron Microscopic Characterization of the Peritoneal Reflection in Crohn's Disease

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The peritoneal reflection bridges visceral and parietal peritoneum and lacks adjoining or underlying organs. As such it provides an opportunity to perform a focussed examination of the peritoneum in Crohn's disease. The aim of this study was to exploit this anatomical property and conduct a multilayered, focussed examination of the peritoneal ...
