Aspartic proteinases are expressed in pitchers of the carnivorous plant Nepenthes alata Blanco.

Only registered users can translate articles

Carnivorous plants acquire significant amounts of nitrogen from insects. The tropical carnivorous plant Nepenthes accumulates acidic fluid containing aspartic proteinase (AP) in its trapping organs (pitchers), suggesting that the plant utilizes insect protein as a nitrogen source. Aspartic

Comparative analysis of the development of the lizard, Liolaemus tenuis tenuis. II. A series of normal postlaying stages in embryonic development.

Only registered users can translate articles

In this work, we have completed a study of the development of the ovoviviparous lizard Liolaemus tenuis tenuis. Ovoviviparity in this lizard is a condition in which eggs are retained within the reproductive duct for about 60 days. During this period the phases of segmentation, gastrulation,

The effect of Trichostrongylus tenuis on the caecal mucosa of young, old and anthelmintic-treated wild red grouse, Lagopus lagopus scoticus.

Only registered users can translate articles

The caecal mucosa of wild young and adult grouse infected naturally with Trichostrongylus tenuis was examined by means of scanning electron microscopy and compared with adult grouse which had been treated with an anthelmintic. The caecal mucosa of young red grouse with low worm burdens possessed

Clinical Parelaphostrongylus tenuis infection in two captive American bison (Bison bison).

Only registered users can translate articles

METHODS 2 juvenile (17 and 19 months of age) male American bison (Bison bison) were examined because of acute bilateral hind limb weakness and ataxia; 1 animal also had urinary incontinence. RESULTS Given the clinical signs and rapid deterioration in the condition of these 2 animals, obtaining a

The effects of starvation on the planarian worm Polycelis tenuis Iijima.

Only registered users can translate articles

Employing a combination of microscopical, biochemical and autoradiographic techniques, the primary effects of starvation on adult polycelis tenuis have been studied. Over a five week period of starvation there is on average a 32% decrease in the size of the organism. This decrease is contributed to

Variations in the numbers of phalangeal bones in the four-toed salamander, Hynobius tenuis (Amphibia: Hynobiidae), from two localities in Toyama Prefecture, Central Japan.

Only registered users can translate articles

Variations in the numbers of phalangeal bones in the fingers (I to IV) and toes (I to V) of specimens of Hynobius tenuis collected from two localities (Ashikuraji and Arimine) in Toyama Prefecture, Central Japan, were recorded. In the case of fingers of fore limbs, eight phalangeal formulas were

Alternariasis: ultrastructure of skin granuloma.

Only registered users can translate articles

An ultrastructural investigation of dermal altenariasis has complemented previous studies. Alternaria tenuis was seen to be profusely present within the cytoplasm of multinucleate giant cells. Healthy elements were characterized by a thick, electron-lucent wall, ovoid osmiophilic inclusions and a

Acquired cervical scoliosis attributed to Parelaphostrongylus tenuis infection in an alpaca.

Only registered users can translate articles

METHODS A 2-year-old alpaca was evaluated because of acute onset of cervical scoliosis. RESULTS Physical examination revealed severe scoliosis of the caudal portion of the cervical vertebral column with a C-shaped curvature to the right side. No gait deficits were observed. Cervical radiography

Parelaphostrongylus tenuis in captive pronghorn antelope (Antilocapra americana) in Nebraska.

Only registered users can translate articles

Lesions in four captive pronghorn antelope (Antilocapra americana) naturally infected with Parelaphostrongylus tenuis in eastern Nebraska (USA) are described in this report. Animals were bright and alert with hind limb ataxia that progressed to sternal or lateral recumbency between July 28 and

Cerebrospinal parelaphostrongylosis in fallow deer.

Only registered users can translate articles

Neurologic disease attributed to infection by meningeal worm ( Parela-phostrongylus tenuis ) was diagnosed in seven fallow deer ( Dama dama ) from the Land Between The Lakes region of Kentucky. Afflicted deer had paresis or paralysis of the hindquarters which quickly progressed to tetraplegia. Gross

Retrospective study of central nervous system lesions and association with Parelaphostrongylus species by histology and specific nested polymerase chain reaction in domestic camelids and wild ungulates.

Only registered users can translate articles

Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues from elk (Cervus elaphus), goats, and camelids with case histories and lesions suggestive of Parelaphostrongylus tenuis were examined by histology to characterize lesions that could aid in definitively diagnosing P. tenuis infection. Additionally, sections

Cathepsin B homologue at the interface between a parasitic nematode and its intermediate host.

Only registered users can translate articles

Parelaphostrongylus tenuis is a parasitic nematode that causes a debilitating neurologic disease in many North American cervids and domestic livestock species. We produced a PCR-based cDNA library from infective larvae (L3) in order to identify molecules that mediate parasitism. A dominant 1,250-bp

Polyphosphate kinase from activated sludge performing enhanced biological phosphorus removal.

Only registered users can translate articles

A novel polyphosphate kinase (PPK) was retrieved from an uncultivated organism in activated sludge carrying out enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR). Acetate-fed laboratory-scale sequencing batch reactors were used to maintain sludge with a high phosphorus content (approximately 11% of the

A Lubricant-Sandwiched Coating with Long-Term Stable Anticorrosion Performance.

Only registered users can translate articles

Lubricant-infused surface(s) (LIS) bioinspired by the Nepenthes pitcher plant are receiving enormous attention owing to their excellent hydrophobicity as well as their self-healing ability. Thus, they have been applied as anticorrosion coatings. However, the loss of lubricant mediated by vapor or
