The structure of the central nervous system of jumping spiders of the genus Phidippus (Araneae:Salticidae)

Creator:: Hill, David Edwin
Abstract:: The central nervous system of Phidippus, while comparable to that of other spiders in most respects, is distinguished by the extraordinary development of visual processing centers, associated with the complex visually-directed behavior of these animals. The primary neuropile of the anterior medial eyes consists of two distinct columnar synapsing regions....

A study of predation on Notoplana acticola Boone, 1929 and Cucumaria curata Cowles, 1907 in mussel beds using a serological technique

Creator:: Kent, Bretton Wayne
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

An investigation into the humoral immune response of the ascidian urochordate, Styela montereyensis

Creator:: DeWan, Dale Frederick
Abstract:: Adaptive immune capabilities of the Urochordate S. montereyensis were studied. Animals repeatedly injected with bacteria were bled and the following properties were measured in vitro: agglutinin, bactericidin, bacteria-cell association. Both Gram (+) and Gram (-) bacteria were isolated from the gut of S. montereyensis and used as antigens at 10⁸...

Bacterial clearance in the sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus

Creator:: Yui, Mary A.
Abstract:: Characteristics of bacterial clearance were investigated in the purple sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus (Echinodermata: Echinoidea). Primary clearance kinetics were determined for three bacteria, a marine Gram negative motile rod, a marine Gram positive non-motile rod, and a fresh water fish pathogen, Aeromonas salmonicida. Various doses of live bacteria were injected...

Neural regulation of immunity in teleosts

Creator:: Flory, Craig M.
Abstract:: It has long been observed that stress can increase our susceptibility to infectious diseases and cancers. Recent experimental evidence suggests that this increased susceptibility is due to suppression of immunity. A variety of neuroendocrine products are released during periods of stress, and a large number of these are now known...

Characterization of putative recognition components of echinoderm coelomic fluid: agglutinins in Strongylocentrotus purpuratus

Creator:: Pierce, Laura G.
Abstract:: Due to an interest in the evolutionary origins of vertebrate mechanisms of immunorecognition, researchers have frequently turned to deuterostome invertebrates as model organisms. The purple sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus (Echinodermata: Echinoidea), was selected for this study of putative immunorecognition molecules in a deuterostome invertebrate. Hemagglutinins, molecules which agglutinate red blood...

Immunological perspectives of a host-parasite system : studies on the humoral and cellular components of Biomphalaria glabrata, New World host for Schistosoma mansoni

Creator:: Boswell, Carl A.
Abstract:: The host snail Biomphalaria glabrata and the parasitic trematode Schistosoma mansoni are valuable subjects for studies evaluating and defining immunological parameters that determine the outcome of individual host-parasite encounters. In this thesis, both soluble and cellular components of the snail's hemolymph were examined to gain insight into the basis for...

Cell activation model of hemocyte aggregation and adhesion in the California mussel, Mytilus californianus

Creator:: Chen, Jyun-hung
Resource Type:: Dissertation

Axial organ : its potential role in echnoid immunity

Creator:: Larson, Maureen Kupke
Abstract:: The echinoderm axial organ is located centrally, at the meeting point of the animals' "circulatory" systems. This, and its unusual histology, have prompted the implication of a number of different functions for the organ, including circulation, excretion and host defense. None of these have been definitively proven. Claims that starfish...
